filter for Event date?

Anonymous

#215498

Hi,
I’m setting up a filter for a list of Events. I want to have a radio button or drop-down with options: “All”, “Past”, or “Upcoming” to limit the results to Events in the past or future based on start date, which is a meta value. Is there a way to set up a filter parameter to perform this logic?

If the above isn’t possible, would you consider this workaround: I tried including a link after the search form to “Show Past Events”. It adds a var to the querystring and reloads the page and I can manually skip future Events if I find this var. As soon as you adjust one of the other filters, however, the ajax call clobbers this querystring var and so it shows all Events again. Is there any way to preserve my querystring var within the ajax call performed by the filters?

Thanks and great plugin BTW 🙂

At this time, that issue will remain. It is something we plan to improve in V3.

Ok. Do you have a release date you’re shooting for for v3?

I do not, sorry. We are working on it as time permits, but our main focus is to ensure we support the current version.

Ok, no worries. I’ll find a workaround. Thanks.

If it assists you, we do have Ajax hooks you might use. Some for when auto Count runs, and some for when Ajax fires on the results:

<script>(function ( $ ) {
  "use strict";
  $(document).on("sf:ajaxfinish", ".searchandfilter", function(){
// so load your scripts/function here again
  });
}(jQuery));</script>

If you have Auto Count enabled, this might refresh the form, and so the above code would change to use sf:ajaxformfinish

Hi Trevor,
Are there any updates on when the next version will be available? We are still wanting to filter results by whether a meta date value is in the past or future.
Thanks,
Chris

I am sorry, I have no ETA on that.
