Template for past events

    Hi, I’m making great use of Events Manager for a few sites, it’s very useful plugin.

    I would like it to be very clear when somebody arrives on a single event page if that event has past.
    People find our past events on Google.

    -Is there a way to get past events to load with a different template, or
    -Do I need to put in a condition to check whether the event date is past into content-event.php?

    Many thanks!

    Hi,

    Glad you’re enjoying the plugin.

    To do this you can use the is_past conditional placeholder:

    Thanks for your reply. This would be a neat way of doing it, but can you use the conditional placeholders in the php templates?

    Here’s the slightly messy solution I’ve found for the single-event.php template, I expect there’s a nicer way! Any suggestions?

    
$field = "_event_end_date";
$enddate =  get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), $field, true);	
$field = "_event_end_time";
$endtime =  get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), $field, true);

$enddatetime = $enddate . ' ' . $endtime;

$now = current_time('timestamp');  
$end = strtotime($enddatetime);

if ($now < $end){

	get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'event' );

} else {

	get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'pastevent' );

}
