Would it be possible to add the “Event Date” field to sort multiple duplicate named events by date? Currently the only date option given is “Reg Date”.

This would be when you click on “event overview” and have options for viewing above and to the right of the events lists.

Thanks.

Hi,

The Start Date column is the events start date, so you could filter by that column.

Dean,

Thanks. Here’s what I noticed… When looking at the events, the “Event Start Date” is an option, once you filter on a specific individual, that option goes away. It would be helpful to be able to see an ordered list of the dates a person attended, not registered. I took a screen shot to show you but don’t see how to post it.

Sorry I assume you mean when you click on the attendees for a specific event? In which case there is a Registered column.

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding what you are saying.

It’s best to use a thirdparty hosting service for images such as droplr or imgur

In the dashboard I’m click on event espresso>events overview. I change the filter to look at all events, current and future, then type a name to look at attendance for a specific user. Once I’m in the attendees screen, I lose the ability to look at event_start_date as shown on the right side of this picture. I’d like to be able to see event_start_date data.

Here’s the link

You can change line 153 of includes/admin-reports/event_list_attendees.php from:

<span><?php _e('Event Time', 'event_espresso'); ?></span> <span class="sorting-indicator"></span>

to:

<span><?php _e('Start Date', 'event_espresso'); ?></span> <span class="sorting-indicator"></span>

and line 253 from:

<?php echo event_date_display($event_time, get_option('time_format')) ?>

to:

<?php echo event_date_display($event_date, get_option('date_format')) ?>

You could, if you wanted to keep the event time column, add those lines in as new lines, with the appropriate table header / cell wrappers.

BOOM! Thank you. I did try to add the code and wrappers but I’m not a real developer and I wound up messing up the display. So I just deleted my additions and changed what you said. It will work for me.

If you have an extra minute, could you past the exact way to add the proper code so I could have both?

If not, no worries. I appreciate that you helped me modify.

Thanks again,

Laran

If you added the table columns and then the display ended up looking odd showing the event ID one place over etc then it likely you didn’t edit the jQuery used to show/hide the fields. (Basically it needed another null, on line ~433)

Here’s a version that has the order Event Title, Event Date, Event Time.

You can also select the values to show within the show/hide columns section which also has Event Date included now (shown here http://d.pr/i/cfRI).
