..or maybe use the custom field to pass a day-of-the-week to a class.. just thinking out loud. I’ll tinker around a bit more and post my results later.
Hey Thanks Jonah! Unfortunately I am the dev (i use that term loosely) on this project, but the good news is that, that advice does help quite a bit.
What I MEAN is that, it creates an event listing instance for every single day! The site i’m building has events listed by thumbnail, title, and calendar date (http://www.ckroad.com/?post_type=tribe_events&eventDisplay=past).
Using a recurence floods the page with listings for the same event over and over and over. It fixes the original grid-widget problem, but it substitutes it for something far worse.
The problem with using reccurence is that it then multiplies the event page listing by the amount of days it recurs. :/
Hey ROB! Sorry I forgot I had posted this here.
What i’ve been doing is setting up and event.. for example.. Event Z… and then entering a start date and an end date for that event. In the calendar widget it will then show a link to the event, everyday 7 days a week, between those dates.So what your suggesting is to make the event for one day, and setup a daily recurrence until the end date? and then I would go back in and turn off the days when the venue hosting the event is closed? I’ve never thought to try this!
I just had another thought… What if you write a little if/else looking for a venue name, and hiding it on certain days with css (much like my idea about hiding events from unregistered users).
i’m almost done here….
S’ok I understand. This is for a pretty large pet project of mine. Thanks again Rob. You guys (and gals) are still the best.
..or maybe I should say.. use one set of events data to do both functions (website, and participant tracking)
I figured it (hide events for non-registered users) out all on my own already.. and it only took all day!
Now I can hide events based on user roles. 😀
Would one of the devs like to email me and look at my solution? It’s not the best way to do it i’m SURE, but it’s a start..
Yes thank you John! I’ll work it in there and see how it turns out. Seems straight forward enough. 🙂
