Search bar with From (date) and To (date) options

[Colin Purchase]

Hey ,
I have purchased this amazing plugin and its working pretty much the way i want it to be , all I need now is to add another search filter which allows the user to select range (Start date – End date) of date to search events

I have attached a reference picture from one of your showcased work

Is it possible to achieve this through configurations panel on dashboard or it is some customization required at code end , In case its customization in code can you please direct me in right direction on how to do it

Thanks

Howdy Colin,

I would love to help you with this.

Is it possible to achieve this through configurations panel on dashboard or it is some customization required at code end

Good question. This is definitely going to require a decent measure of coding. But I’d love to help point you in the right direction to start.

First thing I would do is add the extra selector to the tribe bar. We have a great tutorial on modifying the Tribe Bar: Customizing the Tribe Bar . With that in place you will now have a new variable submitted with the tribe bar, but it does nothing.

Personally what I would do is tap into the tribe_pre_get_posts actions, which behaves identical to the infamous pre_get_posts but the tribe_ one will only run on events queries. From there I would check if the var is set for your end date tribe bar. If it is I would add an ‘end_date’ query var to the query.

This might be all you need to do. However, I could see the potential for some lovely complications that might happen. This sort of modification will require a lot of testing and might end up having to account for a bunch of unforeseen complications. Only way to know will be to build it.

Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!
