Search function and post date

[oldworld]

Is there a way to add a published on or post date column when looking at events in admin? See published date screenshot.

Also, there seems to be a glitch when using the “Search Events” field in the Events view. See screenshot “dog search”. Whenever we type a search term, such as “Dog”, it’s not filtering correctly see screenshot “dog search 2”.

Please advise.

Hi @oldworld – thanks for reaching out.

Please note that we try hard to stick to one question or problem per support topic (doing so just helps to avoid confusion and ensure fair service for all of our customers) 🙂

At any rate, let’s start with your question about a post date column. To do this, you could apply a short snippet like this one:

This could be added either to a custom plugin (preferred) or else to your theme’s functions.php file. Does that help with the first part of your question?

THANK YOU for the help with the post date…it worked! I had to add to the functions.php file since I have no clue how to create a custom plugin.

Sorry for having one ticket with two questions. If you could help me with the search field in the events that would be great.

I’m not quite sure I follow the problem you’re experiencing with search (as a sidenote, the filenames unfortunately aren’t preserved once uploaded to the help desk).

It looks like you have at least one event that has “dog” in the title and after searching for this, the result set is reduced to just that event.

That’s consistent with my own experience, but perhaps I’m misunderstanding?

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
