Show past events for a given year

hi,

you can just try this shortcode

[events_list scope="future" limit="10" pagination=1 category="10"]
 #_EVENTLINK<br /> #_EVENTDATES #_LOCATIONTOWN<br /><br />
[/events_list]

Hi Angelo,

Sorry I am afraid that does not work for the purpose I am looking for.

The code above gives me a paginated list of future events.

I am looking for a list of past events within a given category within 2015.

I see now, you’ve wanted to list past events within 2015 only filtered by category but at the moment you can only use the year search attribute and/or using scope search attribute you can use date ranges (eg. 2015-01-01,2015-01-23) or create new scope using this tutorial – https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/create-your-own-event-scope/

As for where to paste this : https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/how-to-safely-add-php-code-to-wordpress/

Hi Angelo,

Sorry for my delay in reply. I managed to get this working with your instructions. Thank you!

For reference; the code I used was…

<?php
add_filter( 'em_events_build_sql_conditions', 'my_em_scope_conditions',1,2);
function my_em_scope_conditions($conditions, $args){
	if( !empty($args['scope']) && $args['scope']=='this-year' ){
		$start_date = date('Y-m-d',strtotime("First day of January", current_time('timestamp')));
		$end_date = date('Y-m-d',current_time('timestamp'));
		$conditions['scope'] = " (event_start_date BETWEEN CAST('$start_date' AS DATE) AND CAST('$end_date' AS DATE)) OR (event_end_date BETWEEN CAST('$end_date' AS DATE) AND CAST('$start_date' AS DATE))";
	}
	return $conditions;
}

add_filter( 'em_get_scopes','my_em_scopes',1,1);
function my_em_scopes($scopes){
	$my_scopes = array(
		'this-year' => 'Events this year'
	);
	return $scopes + $my_scopes;
}
?>

i do exactly search for a result of that question.
i can set this in functions.php of my childtheme – and then?
how is the shortcode for your instance?

ok i got it the new scope in your code here is “this-year”
and means past events but only this year –
great – thanks
