Show last occurrence of an event in list/photo views and single post

[ccian]

Is it possible for a recurring event to show the last occurrence?

e.g. currently is shows

JUNE 22-9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Free

I would like it to say

JUNE 22-July 6 – 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Free

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I will try to help with this.

Your request is not possible by default. You could create a custom template to add this information, but it will take some knowledge of PHP. We are limited in the amount of support we can provide for customization here on the support forums, but I will try to get you going in the right direction.

Here’s a snippet to get you started:

<?php
$the_current_post_id = get_the_ID();
if( tribe_is_recurring_event($the_current_post_id) ) {
$parent_id = wp_get_post_parent_id( $the_current_post_id );
$my_event_id = ($parent_id) ? $parent_id : $the_current_post_id;

$recurrence_args = array(
'post_parent' => $my_event_id,
'meta_key' => '_EventEndDate',
'orderby' => 'meta_key',
'order' => 'ASC',
'fields' => 'ids',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
);
$all_events = tribe_get_events( $recurrence_args );
$last_event_in_series = end($all_events);
$the_end = tribe_get_end_date($last_event_in_series);

$final_date = date( get_option('date_format'), strtotime($the_end) );
echo "The last event takes place on $final_date.";
}
?>


You would need to modify this to work with the template you want to customize. You can read more about customizing event templates in our Themer’s Guide.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Sky
