Last October, I started an EE forum discussion about showing all events and all attendees as the default (rather than having to take the additional steps of resetting filters). Has there been any progress in returning the default to the way it used to be in an earlier version? Thanks. ~ John

Hi John,
In short, there has been no progress on this.
We have placed a freeze on most new features on version 3.1 due to our continued work on version 4.
We will be reviewing features for 3.1 once 4.0 is released and stable. It is liekly though that features for 3.1 will be limited at best as we continue to improve the latest version (4.0).

Thanks for the update, Dean. I look forward to the launch of 4.0. And I hope this reverts back to the old way of displaying all attendees and all events as the default again.
By the way, as it is right now, if I choose all active/inactive, and I don’t choose a month, it will show me events up to the beginning of February 2013. To see anything in the past year, I have to know the month. So, sometimes I have to open month after month, guessing, until I finally find what I want.
At this moment, I’m looking for a current event (coming up on February 8). I closed it a few days ago by changing the registration date. But, instead of simply being closed, it’s been deleted. Is there any way of getting it back?

Hi John,

To see anything in the past year, I have to know the month. So, sometimes I have to open month after month, guessing, until I finally find what I want.
When you select the ‘all active/inactive’ filter, are you also selecting to pull ‘ALL’ rows from the database? If not then you will need to do this to pull all the events from the database (otherwise it will pull in the amount in that field)
When you filter by month it does this automatically which is why it works that way.
it’s been deleted. Is there any way of getting it back?
When you delete an event within Event Espresso it is ‘soft’ deleted, meaning marked as deleted and ignored. So if you change the status filter to ‘Deleted’ and then filter the events you should find the deleted event displayed within the Event Overview.
Hope that helps.

Hi, Tony. Thanks for your response.
I’m not sure if you understood what I was trying to say. When I choose all active/inactive, shouldn’t I get all active and inactive events, not just those events up to a year ago? What I want to see is all, not a limited number, as it’s showing me now when I don’t select a timeframe. Is there a third filter that I’m not seeing?
That’s great to know that deleted events are soft deleted. So, if I ever make a mistake, I now know where to look. But, as I suspected, there were no deleted events in there for this month, as I didn’t delete any. It’s simply missing. That’s so curious, because I clearly remember just changing the close date, and that’s it. At least I have the auto-responses from EE, so I have a list of attendees anyway.

This relates to both questions.
If you look at this image http://d.pr/i/FYIR I’ve highlighted the 2 areas that are worth noting.
The Status filter (right side) determines which events will be displayed in the overview.
The DB Retrieval field (left side) tells Event Espresso how many rows from the database to pull. Now, this can be confusing, as you may have 20 active events, with 70 inactive/not_open/expired etc which may effect the count.
Basically the DB retrieval says Pull X amount of Rows from the Database at a time, then the filters allow you to filter through that data to display which events you like. So lets say its set to 50. EE pulls in the first 50 rows from the database and the filters allow you to display certain types of events (active, inactive, deleted etc). Then you can pull the next 50 rows from the database and repeat using the ‘Next X Rows’ button http://d.pr/i/YWU0
If you don’t want to do that (it was introduced to stop timeouts on shared hosting) set that to ALL and pull all the events at once.
Does that make sense?

There we go. Now I have a much clearer view. And, voila, the missing class has now been found. Thanks for your help, Tony.

I’m still hoping that the default will be changed back to all in 4.0. Or, at least for those of us who want to see it that way, that we can set it and leave it that way (while still limiting how many events/attendees we want to see per page).

Glad I could help John 🙂
I’ve added you vote to allow the defaults to be specified to our internal feature request list for EE4.
