Hi there,

Please keep in mind that as of version v1.4.0, an expiration notice on category and post pages displays if the event is older than today's date ;-)

Best,

Chris

You are my hero, lorispal! Worked like a charm.

Has anyone else had any luck with this? I am trying to get my slider to show the 10 upcoming events with no luck.

I have tried Losipals code but I end up with a parse error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDWHILE in /home/content/84/12127384/html/wp-content/themes/eventure/slider.php on line 21

which is the:

<?php endwhile; endif; remove_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );?>

section.

THoughts?

You can see it in action here http://www.terminalpd.com

Thanks lorispal

This is how to show only next upcoming events starting from now.
put in function.php this code

// Create a new filtering function that will add our where clause to the query
function filter_where( $where = '' ) {
        // show only post in future
       	$now = date("Y-m-d");
        $where .= " AND post_date>='$now'";
        return $where;
}

then modify the slider.php from the <!--SLIDER-->

<div id="slider">
        <ul class="slides">
                <?php
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );
$showPostsInCategory = new WP_Query();
$showPostsInCategory->query('order=asc&cat='.$sliderCat.'&showposts='.$sliderNumber) .'&date>="'.$now.'"';  ?>

then change the code from

<?php the_post_thumbnail('slider'); ?>

<?php endwhile; endif;?>

into

<?php the_post_thumbnail('slider'); ?>

<?php endwhile; endif; remove_filter( 'posts_where', 'filter_where' );?>

That's all. This cost me 2 hours, please send me a theme for free :)

Hi need to see only upcoming events from now, not the last posteed, nor the oldest. There is no reason to see featured event of the past. Solution?

Hi Chris.

Many thanks for the information as before. It works wonderful. In your documentation you give use the hint for the - "Events Listing Page (with images). To achieve the events page layout in the demo, simply create a category named "Events" and add posts to that category. Navigate to the "menus" page and add the "Events" category to the menu.

Is it possible to order this like the slider (newest - oldest)?
This will be very helpful. Thanks for the information - and sorry, sorry for my english!

To change the order to ascending (oldest > newest), open up "slider.php" and locate the following on line 13...

<?php $showPostsInCategory = new WP_Query(); $showPostsInCategory->query('&cat='.$sliderCat.'&showposts='.$sliderNumber);  ?>

...and change it to the following...

<?php $showPostsInCategory = new WP_Query(); $showPostsInCategory->query('order=ASC&cat='.$sliderCat.'&showposts='.$sliderNumber);  ?>

If you find this useful, PLEASE don't forget to rate the theme on your downloads page on ThemeForest. Positive ratings REALLY help me out.

Thanks!

Chris
