    Hello,

    I have an event with multiple recurrings. I want to show in my list only the very first startevent if it’s in the future.
    I tried show_recurrent_events_once, but this shows me the first recurring event in the future…

    Can someone help me?
    Thanks a lot!

    If you only want to show one event, use limit=1 as an option to eme_events

    Then I don’t understand your question. [eme_events] with show_recurrent_events_once will show 1 occurrence for each recurrent event, so that seems what you want.

    Ok, eine example.

    I have these an event a, starting 20. June 2018, recurring every week for 10 timew and an event b, starting 1. July 2018, recurring every week for 10 times.

    So I want to see in my list

    – event b 1. July 2018.

    Event a starts in the past, I dont wanna so it and event b starts in the future, so I wanna see the first occurence of this.

    I hope this makes it clearer..

    If you want to show specific events, use categories …

    But with categories, it’s no longer dynamic based on the current date.

    Well, if you really want to show just the first event in a recurrent series, you can check for that using conditional tags and the value of #_IS_FIRST_RECURRENCE

    Can you please provide an example, i tried the following things (without success)

    [eme_if tag='#_IS_FIRST_RECURRENCE' value='1']
[eme_events scope=future]
[/eme_if]
    [eme_events scope=future]
[eme_if tag='#_IS_FIRST_RECURRENCE' value='1']
[/eme_if]
[/eme_events]

    
[eme_events scope=future tag='#_IS_FIRST_RECURRENCE' value='1']

    You have to use the eme_if tag inside the template for the eme_events entry, something like this:
    [eme_events template_id=44]
    And template with id=44:

    
[eme_if tag='#_IS_RECURRENT_EVENT' value='1']
[eme_if2 tag='#_IS_FIRST_RECURRENCE' value='1']
<li>#_STARTDATE - #_STARTTIME<br /> #_LINKEDNAME<br />#_TOWN </li>
[/eme_if2]
[/eme_if]
[eme_if tag='#_IS_RECURRENT_EVENT' value='0']
<li>#_STARTDATE - #_STARTTIME<br /> #_LINKEDNAME<br />#_TOWN </li>
[/eme_if]

    The default is defined in the option “Default event list format”
