Archive by year

[Colin Frangos]

Is there a way to create an archive by year? A client would like to keep track of their past events in the sidebar, organized by year. Other than adding a category for each year I couldn’t see a way to do it.

Hi Colin,

There are already yearly archives (.e.g see http://wp-event-organiser.com/demo/events/event/on/2014/). Note that the demo runs an older version of Event Organiser, in later versions the ‘year’ page will show past events (when viewing past/current year).

There will probably be a widget for year/month/day events link in a future update, though for the time being you can create a link to a day/month/year archive with eo_get_event_archive_link() (see codex). So you would need to determine how many years ‘to go back’ and then in a custom widget / shortcode use the following

$years = array( 2012, 2013, 2014 );
echo '<ul>';
foreach( $years as $year ){
     printf( '<li> <a href="%s">%s</a> </li>', eo_get_event_archive_link( $year ), $year );
}
echo '</ul>';
