Sorting list widget

[cllpanama]

My site is working great, but I need to keep the most recently posted events on the home page. I use the event list widget for various areas on the home page. Is there a snippet I can add to the function.php file to first show those that have been most recently been added? Thanks!

Hi there, clipanama!

Great question. I do want to note first of all, though, that we are fairly limited in terms of helping out with custom development questions like this one. That said, we’d love to point you in the right direction if we can.

In this case, I think you would be able to accomplish this by creating a new query in your homepage template that fetches events using the tribe_get_events() function. Here’s a nice tutorial on how that function works with some examples. If you’re wondering how to specifically order events by publish date, I would use:

[php]
‘orderby’ => ‘post_date’,
[/php]

…as one of the parameters in the query.

Will this help you get started? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

My pleasure! I just realized I never linked you to the tutorial I mentioned in my last reply, so here it is. 🙂
