Filter past events

Yes they are.

How would you like to show them?

Hi, Great plug-in!

Filtering would be easiest when the same as the current upcoming events shortcodes:[wpt_production_events] & [wpt_events]

But an additional argument like these would be awesome:

• “past events” (usable in conjuntion with current existing arguments like “season” and groupby etc etc.)

or

• something like
  “between date x and date y”

A PHP solution/direction would also be very helpful for now ??

This can’t be done right now without hacking the plugin.

I propose to implement it in a future version like this:

[wpt_events past="true" upcoming="true"]

to show both past and upcoming events and:

[wpt_events upcoming="false" past="true"]

to show only past events.

Or maybe:

[wpt_events start="now"]
[wpt_events start="today"]
[wpt_events start="2014-09-02"]
[wpt_events end="now"]
[wpt_events start="2014-09-01" end="2014-10-01"]

If you like you can follow any progress on this issue over here:

Thanks for your answer.

That solution would sure give a lot of flexibility to retrieve events.

For the time being however, how can I show the past events at this moment? only with php? what code to use ?

You need to use something like:

$events = wp_theatre->events->load();
foreach ($events as $event) {
  if ($event->datetime() < time()) {
    echo $event->html();
  }
}

I didn’t test the code above. If you like, I can dive into the code of your website and do it for you (for a small fee).

Hi,

This feature was added to the latest version of the plugin (0.9).
See https://github.com/slimndap/wp-theatre/wiki/Shortcodes for more examples.
