Add Month Headers to Events List

[Anonymous]

I absolutely had to have headers diving up my month in the events list, so I added a new arg to the shortcode “showmonths” – when set to 1, it inserts a new

<li class=’dbem_month’> each time the list crosses into a new month.

Don’t suppose there’s any chance this could be rolled into the official plugin??

The following two functions were all I modified; the codebegins on line 361 of dbem_events.php

/* Marcus Begin Edit */

//Added a category option to the get events list method and shortcode

function dbem_get_events_list($limit = "10", $scope = "future", $order = "ASC", $format = '', $echo = 1, $category = '', $showmonths = 0) {

if (strpos ( $limit, "=" )) {

// allows the use of arguments without breaking the legacy code

$defaults = array ('limit' => 10, 'scope' => 'future', 'order' => 'ASC', 'format' => '', 'echo' => 1 , 'category' => '', 'showmonths' => 0);



$r = wp_parse_args ( $limit, $defaults );

extract ( $r, EXTR_SKIP );

$limit = $r ['limit'];

$scope = $r ['scope'];

$order = $r ['order'];

$format = $r ['format'];

$echo = $r ['echo'];

$category = ( preg_match('/^([0-9],?)+$/', $r ['category'] ) ) ? $r ['category'] : '' ;

$showmonths = $r ['showmonths'];

}

if ($scope == "")

$scope = "future";

if ($order != "DESC")

$order = "ASC";

if ($format == ''){

$orig_format = true;

$format = get_option ( 'dbem_event_list_item_format' );

}

$events = dbem_get_events ( $limit, $scope, $order, '', '', $category );

$output = "";

if (! empty ( $events )) {

foreach ( $events as $event ) {

$themonth = date("F", strtotime($event['event_start_date']));

if ($showmonths == 1 && $themonth != $curmonth) {

$output .= "<li class='dbem_month'>$themonth</li>";

}

//  $localised_date = mysql2date("j M Y", $event->event_time);

$output .= dbem_replace_placeholders ( $format, $event );

$curmonth =	date("F", strtotime($event['event_start_date']));

}

//Add headers and footers to output

if( $orig_format ){

$single_event_format_header = get_option ( 'dbem_event_list_item_format_header' );

$single_event_format_header = ( $single_event_format_header != '' ) ? $single_event_format_header : "<ul class='dbem_events_list'>";

$single_event_format_footer = get_option ( 'dbem_event_list_item_format_footer' );

$single_event_format_footer = ( $single_event_format_footer != '' ) ? $single_event_format_footer : "</ul>";

$output =  $single_event_format_header .  $output . $single_event_format_footer;

}

} else {

$output = "<ul class='dbem-no-events'><li>" . get_option ( 'dbem_no_events_message' ) . "</li></ul>";

}

if ($echo)

echo $output;

else

return $output;

}



function dbem_get_events_list_shortcode($atts) {

extract ( shortcode_atts ( array ('limit' => 3, 'scope' => 'future', 'order' => 'ASC', 'format' => '', 'category' => '', 'showmonths' => 0 ), $atts ) );

$result = dbem_get_events_list ( "limit=$limit&scope=$scope&order=$order&format=$format&echo=0&category=$category&showmonths=$showmonths" );

return $result;

}

@tirussell

How are you using this in your application?

I think this is along the lines of something I’m trying to do as I’ve got lots of events on a single day and looking to show a clear break between days/months, etc.

Thanks in advance
