Hello.
On our Event Registration page ( via shortcode [EVENT_TABLE_DISPLAY category_identifier=”public_shows”] ) our Show Times do not display in chronological order. How can this be fixed?
EE3.1.30.5P

Hi there,

Normally that will display times in order. It looks like there’s been some modifications made to the template. Can you post the contents of the table_display.php file in a pastebin or a gist and link to it here?

Also, just as a heads up, the Event Registration page should have the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode on it. When you use an alternative template like [EVENT_TABLE_DISPLAY], this should be on a separate page. Then you can hide the page with [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] from the site’s navigation menu.

Thanks.
I’ve just added a hidden page with [ESPRESSO_EVENTS].
Here is the pastebin of table_display.php

**correction, there was already a hidden page with [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] in place **

Hi there,

I’m not sure why the times are displaying out of order on your site. I copied the contents of your modified template and installed on my site and the times are displaying in order.

If you change the part that is now:

<?php echo event_date_display($start_time, 'g:i A')?>

back to:

<?php echo $start_time?>

Does that make any difference?

Making the suggested change displays the times in 24-hour format, yet still not in chronological order.
Where else are the event’s orders being determined?

Thanks

Hi there,

In this case, it’s not the order of the actual events, but the start times.

You might try the table_display.php template, or even pull the SQL from that one because it does order the events by date and start times.

On the pastebin above, isn’t the event display order determined on lines 68-74? How can this be altered to show them in chronological order?

Hi there,

It looks like line 44 is ordering them. Have you tried the other template?
