Reporting on Dates

[Alex Martin]

Is there a way to set up reports for the calendar plugin?
I need to have a report demonstrate when I created events, if possible.

Thanks!

Hey Alex,

Thanks for reaching out! There is unfortunately no “out-of-the-box” way to do this; none of our plugins have features like this, in other words.

Each event, however, does have a “created on” date and time as does any piece of content within WordPress. You can access this with custom code by using the WordPress function get_the_time() → https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_the_time

So, to have any sort of reporting here would unfortunately require many code customizations to implement 🙁

To implement the features you describe, you would have to write that custom code or hire a professional developer to write the code for you. We have a list of great developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and have no affiliation with any of these folks–they’re simple some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

I hope this information is clear and helps you proceed; let me know if that’s the case!

Sincerely,
George

Ah, interesting! Thanks for the help.

I do software development, although I am new to WordPress plugin development. I am fine with writing custom code for this report.

I understand the concept behind using the get_the_time() function, however I do have one further question:

The get_the_time() function expects the post ID. Where can I go to see the post IDs created/used by The Events Calendar? Manual steps are helpful (I am sure I can track it down from there), although a function to call with a list of IDs would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Alex,

You can retrieve the post ID of a given piece of content by using the WordPress function get_the_ID().

We cannot help with code customizations, and on top of that this is also the Pre-Sales Questions forums, so I won’t be able to provide further code-level assistance, but if there’s anything else I can help with let me know!
