Hello,

I have three events set up in event espresso. They have the following registration details:

Event A:
Registration Starts: 2013-09-26 8AM
Registeration Ends: 2013-10-03 11:59PM

Event B:
Registration Starts: 2013-09-26 8AM
Registeration Ends: 2013-10-07 11:59PM

Event C:
Registration Starts: 2013-09-26 8AM
Registeration Ends: 2013-10-10 11:59PM

I’m using the shortcode [EVENT_LIST limit=2]

Yesterday 2 events were displayed and it was working as expected. Today Event A’s registration has ended, but I’m only seeing Event B listed. If I change the shortcode to [EVENT_LIST limit=3] I will see the two open events.

Can you help me figure out why both events are not showing?

Thanks.

Hi phgroup,

What are the actual Event dates for those events?

I’m guessing Event A is still an active event (NOT_OPEN to registrations but is ended today/tomorrow?)

Event A:
Start Date: 2013-10-10 8am
End Date: 2013-10-10 11:30am

Event B:
Start Date: 2013-10-10 7:30am
End Date: 2013-10-10 9:30am

Event C:
Start Date: 2013-10-15 8:30am
End Date: 2013-10-15 10:24am

All three events are active. Event A has a status of CLOSED, Events B and C have a status of OPEN.

Hi phgroup,

Just a quick update, we are looking into this and have found that this occurs when the registration date has ended, but the event has not passed. They are still loaded, then the limit is applied, then the status is filtered.

We are working on a fix and will update you soon.

Hi phgroup,

I’ve modified the function used by the [EVENT_LIST] shortcode to show only open events via another attribute.

If you open up event-espresso/templates/event_list.php

On line 27 you should find

if (!function_exists('event_espresso_get_event_details')) {

That is the function used for that shortcode, replace that entire function with THIS ONE

Then when using the shortcode [EVENT_LIST show_only_open=true limit=2]

Tony,
Thank you, that works. Will the changes I made be preserved during future updates?

Hi phgroup,

Glad to help.

Not if you leave the file where it is now no, it will be replaced when EE updates.

If you copy event_list.php and event_list_display.php to wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates those files will be saved. This applies to any modifications you make to any files in /event-espresso/templates/.
