Hi Brian,

Thanks for the link for comparing text, I used it on the page and the differences are nothing regarding the events calendar plugin. Thanks so much for your help. I’ll keep trucking away and maybe I will solve it.

I will let you know if I do so you can store it for future use, if anyone wants to do something similar.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the quick response. I added that to the top of the file which didn’t work and the top of the function which didn’t work, I got this error:

Uncaught Type Error: debug.timeEnd is not function
http://galway2020.ie/wp-content/themes/galway/tribe-events/tribe-events-ajax-mapsBlue.js
Line 704

I then tried commenting out the two lines that contain debug, line 704 and 709, this gave no errors but the map still did not work.
I understand this is customization, but any help would be much appreciated.

Here is the link to where I am testing the site: http://build.unthink.ie/galway/
Any other ideas why it might only work when a user is logged in?

Thanks so much for the help I appreciate it.

Hi Zach,
Cheers for the reply, yeah I was thinking by reordering the data that shouldn’t impact on the data itself. When I change the meta_key to ‘_EventStartDate’ both start and end date appear as they should. I tried the tribe_get_events which unfortunately had the same results.

What I have done is reorder posts by end date but this has caused the dates to become the same.
Here is the full snippet:

<?php
	$args = array(
		'meta_key'=> '_EventEndDate',
		'meta_type'=>'DATE',
		'orderby'=>'meta_value_num',
		'post_type'=>'tribe_events',
		'eventDisplay'=>'upcoming',
		'showposts' => '-1'
		);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>

/////The posts content

<?php endwhile;  wp_reset_query(); ?>

Here is the dump of a single post:

object(WP_Post)#433 (26) {
  ["ID"]=>
  int(4567)
  ["post_author"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["post_date"]=>
  string(19) "2015-02-09 11:58:36"
  ["post_date_gmt"]=>
  string(19) "2015-02-09 11:58:36"
  ["post_content"]=>
  string(872) "Sacred Space exhibition and accompanying book launch."
  ["post_title"]=>
  string(12) "Sacred Space"
  ["post_excerpt"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["post_status"]=>
  string(7) "publish"
  ["comment_status"]=>
  string(6) "closed"
  ["ping_status"]=>
  string(6) "closed"
  ["post_password"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["post_name"]=>
  string(12) "sacred-space"
  ["to_ping"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["pinged"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["post_modified"]=>
  string(19) "2015-02-19 12:26:31"
  ["post_modified_gmt"]=>
  string(19) "2015-02-19 12:26:31"
  ["post_content_filtered"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["post_parent"]=>
  int(0)
  ["guid"]=>
  string(62) "http://www.pivotdublin.com/?post_type=tribe_events&p=4567"
  ["menu_order"]=>
  int(55)
  ["post_type"]=>
  string(12) "tribe_events"
  ["post_mime_type"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["comment_count"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["filter"]=>
  string(3) "raw"
  ["EventStartDate"]=>
  string(19) "2015-05-01 23:59:59"
  ["EventEndDate"]=>
  string(19) "2015-05-01 23:59:59"
}

What it should look like:

object(WP_Post)#430 (26) {
  ["ID"]=>
  int(4567)
  ["post_author"]=>
  string(1) "1"
  ["post_date"]=>
  string(19) "2015-02-09 11:58:36"
  ["post_date_gmt"]=>
  string(19) "2015-02-09 11:58:36"
  ["post_content"]=>
  string(872) "Sacred Space exhibition and accompanying book launch."
  ["post_title"]=>
  string(12) "Sacred Space"
  ["post_excerpt"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["post_status"]=>
  string(7) "publish"
  ["comment_status"]=>
  string(6) "closed"
  ["ping_status"]=>
  string(6) "closed"
  ["post_password"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["post_name"]=>
  string(12) "sacred-space"
  ["to_ping"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["pinged"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["post_modified"]=>
  string(19) "2015-02-19 12:26:31"
  ["post_modified_gmt"]=>
  string(19) "2015-02-19 12:26:31"
  ["post_content_filtered"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["post_parent"]=>
  int(0)
  ["guid"]=>
  string(62) "http://www.pivotdublin.com/?post_type=tribe_events&p=4567"
  ["menu_order"]=>
  int(55)
  ["post_type"]=>
  string(12) "tribe_events"
  ["post_mime_type"]=>
  string(0) ""
  ["comment_count"]=>
  string(1) "0"
  ["filter"]=>
  string(3) "raw"
  ["EventStartDate"]=>
  string(19) "2015-02-12 00:00:00"
  ["EventEndDate"]=>
  string(19) "2015-05-01 23:59:59"
}

Any ideas Zach? Have you ever ordered by end date?

Cheers

Hi Geeorge/All,

I managed to the re-ordering of events by creating a querying on a page rather than using the pre_get_posts in the functions.php

This solution is adequate for me but may not be for everyone, here is my code if you want to save/pass along:

$args = array(
		'meta_key'=> '_EventEndDate',
		'meta_type'=>'DATE',
		'orderby'=>'meta_value_num',
		'post_type'=>'tribe_events'
		);
	$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
	while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
endwhile; wp_reset_query();

Just add this to any php file you want the events to appear. An error with this script is the start and end date appear the same.
Good Luck.

[Neasa Ronayne]

PS
Sorry I didn’t answer your question, if I change the meta_key to start date the events are ordered 100% fine.

[Neasa Ronayne]

Great, Thanks George. I will try those and get back to you whether it works or not.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the quick response. No worries I understand any help would be much appreciated.

As I previously stated I have used both those. They seemed to order the events 1,12,3,9 rather than 1,3,9,12. So I tried meta_value_num to solve this issue but it remains the same.
As a test I tried these to order the events by title and it worked fine, the issue seems to be that I am dealing with numbers.

Cheers

[Neasa Ronayne]

Sorry some more details which might explain this better. see current html output:
(example from 4th December) there are 2 events added to that date but looking at the class, only the 1 category is output (tribe-events-category-enfants), when I’m hoping to see 2 (tribe-events-category-arts) or more..
<td class=”circle hentry vevent tribe-events-category-enfants post-130 tribe_events type-tribe_events status-publish hentry”>
<div id=”daynum-4″>
4
</div>
</td>

This would be a great feature to have i reckon. look forward to your response!

[Neasa Ronayne]

This is excellent Brian, that worked perfectly for me. Really appreciate it!

[Neasa Ronayne]

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the swift reply. Thats unfortunate that its not something that can be switched on/off.
If i was to write a java function, could you point me in the direction of where and what id need to target in order for the function to work?

I will also add this request to the feature ideas.

thanks a lot

Philip
