Hello,<\/p>\n

We are using Events Calendar PRO for our new website design, and have some complex custom filtration needs. Unfortunately, the Events Calendar Filterbar (which we purchased) does not quite cover it.<\/p>\n

We are using the tribe_events_parse_query action hook to inject custom query parameters to the query object. It is working very well for our needs, and can all be contained within template logic, which is a bonus for our application.<\/p>\n

However, I often see functions and features get marked deprecated and then removed from subsequent releases. I would like to ask about the potential longevity of tribe_events_parse_query — is it going to be around for awhile? Is hooking into the query at this level a future-proof an resilient strategy?<\/p>\n

Or is there something else better that you can recommend?<\/p>\n

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. We would like to be happy ECP customers for a long time to come. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Best wishes,
\nRobert<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1096346","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nLongevity of tribe_events_parse_query action hook -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/longevity-of-tribe_events_parse_query-action-hook\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Longevity of tribe_events_parse_query action hook -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello, We are using Events Calendar PRO for our new website design, and have some complex custom filtration needs.
