Add custom recurring events to The Events Calendar
-
We have events that are recurring (either daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly). We’ve made our own plugin that calls filters contained in The Events Calendar plugin.
For example:
add_filter('tribe_events_get_current_month_day', 'getRecurringEventsForMonthDay');
In that function, we do a query for events that are recurring. After the query we will do some logic to see if the event is recurring on the date requested. Here’s the query:
SELECT posts.*, metaStartDate.meta_value as EventStartDate, meta.meta_value as EventRepeats, metaTimeSpans.meta_value as EventTimeRanges FROM $wpdb->posts posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta meta ON (posts.ID = meta.post_id AND meta.meta_key = '_EventRepeats') LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta metaStartDate ON (posts.ID = metaStartDate.post_id AND metaStartDate.meta_key = '_EventStartDate') LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta metaRepeatsUntil ON (posts.ID = metaRepeatsUntil.post_id AND metaRepeatsUntil.meta_key = '_EventRepeatsUntil') LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta metaTimeSpans ON (posts.ID = metaTimeSpans.post_id AND metaTimeSpans.meta_key = '_EventTimeRanges') WHERE posts.post_type = 'tribe_events' AND posts.post_status = 'publish' AND meta.meta_value != 'once' AND '$queryDate 00:00:00' BETWEEN metaStartDate.meta_value AND metaRepeatsUntil.meta_value
Is there a way to rewrite that so it can be added to the WP_Query object The Events Calendar plugin is using? Simply adding posts to the array doesn’t work because things like
have_posts()
andthe_post()
just don’t work.Any thoughts of how to do this without touching The Events Calendar source?
