What am i doing incorrectly? Repeating events list start date of initial event

[barak kassar]

Hi. Please take a look at http://calvarypresbyterian.org/events-3/
Please browse to February and look at any of the events called
Interfaith Winter Shelter Volunteer Opportunity
These are recurring events starting 2 Feb thru 8 Feb
If you click on any event (say 3 Feb, 4, Feb, etc.) the date of the event is always 2 Feb.
Is this how it is supposed to be.. or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you

I’m also working with reoccurring events and had a similar question. It seems that EO always shows the date of the initial event and not of the clicked reoccurrent event. I found a workaround over a uid attached to the event link that containes the missing information for later extraction. But this one works with a shortcode but not the calendar.

See the topic:

http://wp-event-organiser.com/forums/topic/reoccurring-events-jump-into-a-specific-event/

Working example:

@Barak, Yes that is intended behaviour. The event page is one page for the entire event (regardless of how many dates it occurs on) and is effectively occurrence agnostic. The fact that there is only one page was a very early design choice based on SEO considerations, performance implications (and that an event can be to a certain degree equated to a ‘post’, regardless of dates) and a degree of personal preference ;).

There are some technical reasons while occurrence links point to the event as a whole rather than a specific date to do with the use of get_permalink(). In some cases (such as the calendar), it’s possible to work-around this and change the link to include a reference to the occurrence which you then use on the event page (as linked by Adrian). But the default behaviour is intended to be as you describe.

Thank you Adrian and Stephen
Adrian.. have you found a way to auto-add that uid to a list of events in the shortcode.
And Stephen, if Adrian’s solution is for shortcode, and you mention there is also a work-around for calendar, can u please share that.
Then both scenarios are covered which is great!

You can do it by editing the shortcode templates (and any other template), and replace any instance of get_permalink() with

global $post;
add_query_arg( 'oid', $post->occurrence_id, get_permalink( $post->ID ) );

(assuming your following the topic that Adrian linked to above).

Calendars are different, they have filters:

• http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/hook-eventorganiser_widget_calendar_date_link.html
  • http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/hook-eventorganiser_calendar_event_link.html

The fullCalendar (event link) filter passes the event ID (or post ID) and occurrence ID, which you can use to generate the desired link:

add_filter('eventorganiser_calendar_event_link','barak_fullcalendar_link_to_occurrence',10,3);
function barak_fullcalendar_link_to_occurrence( $link, $event_id, $occurrence_id ){
     return add_query_arg( 'oid', $occurrence_id, get_permalink( $event_id ) );
}
