Hi,
On the EE Calendar, we would like to stop people to see “past” events.
That is when they navigate to the calendar, they can see the current month, week or day, but they can also navigate “back” in time and see past events.
Is there some way to stop that?
I was thinking about hiding the “back” button, however that then is an issue when users navigate “forward” and then want to navigate back to the current time.
I also thought about listening to URL parameters (but there are none), or listening to “Click” on “next” and show the back button only then. yet that also is not ideal, since then they could navigate next, and then infinitely backwards.
Do you have any code solution we can use? Perhaps a hook that I can use to stop back-navigation from the current day/month/week to past times?
Thanks!

Hi Joao, thanks for your reply.
I am not sure why login details are required for this support request.
Let me explain it again:
On this site https://thecrafterybar.com/reservations/ there is a calendar of events.
On the top left of the calendar there is a “back” button.
This allows the competition to sneak through past events of this business.
The business owner wants to avoid that and thus, make it impossible for visitors to “navigate back” in the events calendar.
Of course, folks should be able to book, and thus navigate _forward_ in to the future. Thus, I cannot just hide the back button with CSS since it would become impossible to navigate back once a visitor has navigated forward.
I can also not listen to some URL parameters since the plugin updates the calendar with AJAX and theres no URL parameters indicating the current view.
My question as a developer working for said business is, if there is some hook, or perhaps JS event, that we can use to hide the back button on first page load, but show it when folks are navigating forwards, and hide it again when they reach the “current month”.
This should be a fairly common request from a business point of view I guess, and I was wondering if you have some options or suggestions to do that.
Thank you.

Hi there,
We don’t need login credentials for this 🙂
The calendar does indeed have the option for hiding expired events by using a shortcode parameter, on the above page change the shortcode to use the show_expired parameter, like this:
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=false]
That should remove them from the query rather than hiding/removing them afterwards.
