'If' statement for past events

[Aaron Robb]

I’m trying to add in a way for people to submit photos to a past event. I’m using a plugin that lets them upload images to a cpt, and the only part I can’t figure out is how to make it so that the uploader doesn’t show until after the event takes place.

I’m assuming I can use eo_get_the_end(‘jS M YY’); within an if statement, but i’m not sure how to set that up to compare it to the current date. Or is there another code I should be using instead of the get_the_end?

Found a solution!
Of course, it happens after i post this question. Here’s how it works:

    <?php
 $date = eo_get_the_end('Ymd');  // event end date
    $today = current_time('Ymd');// getm today's date
    if ( $date <= $today ) {
    ....do stuff...
    } else {
} ?>

That will work (but I prefer to use DateTime objects)

Please note that if this a recurring event you will want to use eo_get_schedule_last() – http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_get_schedule_last.html – this will give you the start date of the last occurrence.
