Redirecting to Next Recurring Event Instance

[Cliff]

Even after the discussion on the previous ticket (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/recurring-event-url/), my client still insisted on finding a way to properly redirect to the next upcoming instance. I find it hard to disagree with their logic.

To accomplish this, I’ve had to manually edit the plugin. I want to show my work to 1) encourage this to be filterable by a developer and/or 2) see if there’s a better way.

In events-calendar-pro.php on line 390, I’ve updated the function to look through recurring instances, find any in the future, and redirect to that instead of ‘/all’: https://gist.github.com/logoscreative/94bb1d29b2a4df2750c5

I’d love for someone to take a look and give any thoughts on doing this better. I obviously don’t want to manually edit files, but I saw no other way to control these redirects. :/

Thanks!

Thanks for providing the coding.

There is not much I can suggest with this, if it works for you it is the best way as it is not a feature we have or support.

I agree editing files is not the best way to make changes, but in this case I do not see a way around it if you have to have this functionality.

Unfortunately, the only things I can really do is what Casey said and to refer you to uservoice to request it.

I can answer any follow up questions you have, but not able to do much more then that.

Thanks
