I need to select a date on the front end that displays events ON the date in question. The plugin returns events FROM the date in question.<\/p>\n
I just read this and disagree with the notion that this is a “feature” -> https:\/\/tri.be\/support\/forums\/topic\/selecting-a-day-returns-other-days-besides-the-one-i-pick\/<\/p>\n
I guess it depends on one’s perspective…but I dont agree with the logic of the Tri.be representatives explanation of: “What you are describing appears to be a feature of our plugin. In all list views, namely List, Map, Photo, it shows event from that day forward.”<\/p>\n
The person that authored that reply was very careful in his wording: “So if you search FROM June 21st.” Which is NOT what the thread author asked for. He stated “here is the result for a search of events ON June 12 2014: http:\/\/brasileirinho.com\/pt\/events\/?action=tribe_photo&tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=photo&tribe-bar-date=2014-06-12”<\/p>\n
Not “FROM” June 12th forward…”ON” June 12th.<\/p>\n
I have the exact issue, but its compounded by the notion that I have 10 sites representing Washington DC and its Suburbs. I’m trying to find events ON Halloween, Oct 31st, and its giving me events FROM October 31st. Which is incorrect:
\nhttp:\/\/socialalerts.com\/washingtondc\/events\/photo\/?action=tribe_photo&tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=photo&tribe-bar-date=2014-10-31<\/p>\n
OK (and sorry to be long winded…lol) -> Here are my question(s):<\/p>\n
1. How do I specify “events that start ON October 31” – Not events FROM October 31st and forward…I mean STRICTLY that start ON October 31st?<\/p>\n
2 (not really a question). For the record, I have a work around but the work around isn’t viable: Please do NOT reply with my workaround of “go into the backend, filter events as startdate = oct 31st, crate a “2014-10-31” category, mark those events with the 2014-10-31 category and then make a link called \/events\/2014-10-31 \ud83d\ude42 While this workaround would work as a stopgap, the solution isn’t viable because I’d have to make 365 categories if I want the user to be able to see events on any specific day of the year. In addition, I have to make 10 2014-10-31 categories, one for each site (um…no) and as for searching on each day of the year? 10 sites based on suburbs of Washington DC, 365 days so I’d have to 3650 categories…um…no. Again <\/p>\n
\ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
3. Why are you able to select dates that START as 2014-10-31 in the admin\/backend at \/wp-admin\/edit.php?post_type=tribe_events via the filter that do NOT include dates that start afterwards…but NOT in the front end date picker? Seems to be a direct contradiction to what the tribe representative in the other thread stated…<\/p>\n
4. I see this in the original thread also: “If you would like to change this functionality to only show event from the date searched…you would simply hook into \u2018tribe_events_pre_get_posts\u2019, check if the URL action var is tribe_photo, or tribe_upcoming or tribe_map, and if the tribe-bar-date parameter is set. If so, limit the query to today by adding a condition for the post meta _EventStartDate that check to see if the event is lesser than tomorrow.” – This is way over my head and also isnt correct because it addresses “TODAY” not “the date selected,” in MY case, 2014-10-31<\/p>\n
4a. Can I get a snippet that limits the returned events as described above but ONLY for the date selected?<\/p>\n
4b. In which file should I add the snippet?<\/p>\n
FYI – Im using version 3.5.1 – I had asked a question previously about database field name changes when upgrading and never got an answer…so I can’t upgrade until I hear back concerning that. (If you decide to research any database field name changes please NO NOT delay the answers to 1-4. Just reply when you get an answer. And THANK YOU!<\/p>\n
