Custom single event page for past events

[Catherine Lepper]

Hi,
great plugin, I’ve used it before, and now I’m using the pro version in a bespoke project:

http://islingtonproms.com

my query is can I get past events only to use a different custom single-event page than a standard one? (I want to exclude the booking info from the past events single pages).
Is it possible to direct the loop to a custom page in the theme functions.php file? Or would that have to be part of the plugin?

I tried using a function hook and if statement within the single-event.php page to vary the output, but couldn’t figure that out.. Is this a better option, and is it possible?
Please help or let me know who can, any clue would be of assistance!

Thanks,

Catherine

Hi Catherine,

In the template, where you’ve added the details to the template you can wrap it in the following if statement

$now = new DateTime( 'now', eo_get_blog_timezone() );
if( $now <= eo_get_schedule_last( DATETIMEOBJ ) ){
      //Add link
 }

eo_get_schedule_last() returns the (start) date of the last occurrence for the event . (If the event is non-recurring then this is the start date of the event). The above ifstatement displays the link only when that date is after ‘now’.

If you’re using the booking feature in Pro, then that should automatically suppress the booking form when the event has finished.

Hi Stephen,

thanks so much, this works perfectly, I knew there had to be a solution but couldn’t work it out,
thanks a million!
I did contact you via contact form also to say I would pay for your time, however I didn’t realise you had already answered the question here in the forum, as I didn’t get notification of your reply, although I ticked the box at the bottom of the form..
Let me know if I can make a donation and how!
