List formatting / grouping

[Anonymous]

I am prepared to do this using $wp->query, but before doing so need to know if it’s already possible out-of-the-box.

Scenario: Multiple events fall on same day.

Desired formatting:

[Event Date]

[Event #1]

[Event #2]

[Event #3]



[Event Date]

[Event #1]

[Event #2]

Is this available via the plugin directly, or should I just run manual queries?

If it is for specific dates, you can always use the [events_list] shortcode. Use multiple statements of this format on the same page:

[events_list YYYY-MM-DD]

eg.

On 2010/09/05

[events_list 2010-09-05]



On 2010/09/07

[events_list 2010-09-07]

But if you want it automatically for all events: not possible for now

Don’t mean to be a smart-ass, but of course I want it automatically….If I didn’t I wouldn’t be using the plugin. 🙂

Thanks for the reply, I’ll go ahead and code it up.

[Franky]

Yeah, I figured you wanted it automatically 🙂

Hi,

I implemented this now in the trunk version, as a new parameter to the [events_list] shortcode:

[events_list showperiod=daily]

or

[events_list showperiod=monthly]

Hi

I’m using version 3.1.3 and (like Moxie) I would like this layout

[Event Date]

[Event #1]

[Event #2]

[Event Date]

[Event #1]

[Event #2]

But when I use “[events_list showperiod=daily #_TOWN #_LINKEDNAME ]“

this is the result:

2010/09/23

23 Sep 2010 – Göteborg

Eventnamn: Bok & Bibliotek 2010 Kategori: #_CATEGORY

2010/09/28

28 Sep 2010 – Stockholm

Eventnamn: Intern kommunikation 2010 Kategori: #_CATEGORY

28 Sep 2010 – Mölndal

Eventnamn: Sociala Medier och Affärsnytta Kategori: #_CATEGORY

1. How do I get rid of “#_CATEGORY” ?

2. Why id the date shown at the events ? (ie “28 Sep 2010”)?

(When I have not used the shortcodes for date and year)

3. Can I format the date shown first ? ( ie “2010/09/23”)

[Franky]

The formatting codes (these starting with #_) are not to be used as arguments in the shortcodes; and are ignored. In your case this will result in: [events_list showperiod=daily]

And for the other info: see the format settings (“Default event list format” in your case)

Please do read the documentation on how to use the shortcodes and the formatting codes.

And for #_CATEGORY: doesn’t exist, it is “#_CATEGORIES”

1. Category: My mistake – i’ve written the wrong thing in “Default event list format”

2. ‘Double dates”: I removed “#j#M#Y” from “Default event list format” – and it worked :o)

3. I’m reading on – and trying to get ‘the rigth look’

Thank you for the help.
