Hey hey hey!! Your patch looks like it took care of the issues I was having! Thank you soo much – my apology if I offended anyone with my frustration. Thank you!
Thanks,
The prior user/pass is now active again for you. I also edited all my events back to July 11 start date (there are 4 of them) they all have end dates later this month so should be showing under “Upcoming” & “today” after you do your patch/ Thanks!HELP!!!!! I realize now that this Event update 2.0.0.11 actually went in and CHANGED definitions of what is “Upcoming”, “Past”, “Today” and maybe more. I now have to go in EVERYDAY and change the start date of every single event that is running now! This is frustrating! I am trying hard to be nice here but before this update all these functions were working properly but now your Events Add-on is a complete pain and pretty much worthless. Whoever put together this update either made terrible errors or does NOT understand the concept of Starting Dates and End Dates. Geodirectory needs to release an update TODAY that reverses this last update and then you need quit making these HUGE changes to the platform! Please let me know when this issue is going to be fixed! Thank you!
Good morning, I appreciate you flagging it but I think you need a different color flag on this. With a new set of updates just today the same exact thing happened to all the events I have on my site. Most have end dates a few weeks from now but after running the update they again do not appear on the front end under “Upcoming” – they do not even appear under “today”. I think this is a pretty simple fix with a couple of if statements relating to Start Date and End Date. I look forward to hearing when this issue will be resolved.
Thanks! DanHi Alex – I changed the events to today start dates and they now show up but I don’t want to do this manual process in the future. I was wrong in earlier post suggesting to use “Expire Date” to turn off and Event – geodirectory should be using “End Date” rather than Start Date to turn an Event off. In my case I sell a package that someone can use multiple times in the 90 day period where they change Start Dates and End Dates maybe 2 or 3 times a month if they want to. That way it’s almost like a membership – which I know geodirectory doesn’t want to get into memberships. Anyhow if one of my customers is running a weeklong sale (Mon thru Sat) and we have an update on Wednesday – that sale will no longer appear on my site. Hope you guys consider reviewing! Thanks!
I would think that geodirectory would use the “Expire Date” for the function of turning off an event rather than using “Start Date”. Using Start Date pretty much causes problems for all multi-day events if an update comes while an event is in progress,
I do need the start date. If someone buys a package today on 7/10 for a Sale they are having this weekend 7/13(Start Date) & 7/14(End Date) I want the Sale to appear on my site today so people can see that upcoming sale. Any suggestions for a work-around? Thanks!
I looked at one of the Events that do not show up – it was built on 6/27 and has an “Expire Date” of 9/22. It shows as “Published” on the backend but does not show on the Frontend unless you choose the “Past” Events. Based on what you said it sounds like this event should be “on” since the expire date is set for 2 months away.
Alex – In the Event Packages I have the “Package Lifetime” set to the 30/60 or 90 day – Is that different than “Expire”? If yes how can I have a package someone buys expire in the 30/60 or 90 window?
Thanks Alex,
I thought that is how I set the Event Packages up to automatically expire after the 30/60/90 days. I will take a closer look.

Thanks!
Ok – I rewrote my CSS to fix the issue in List View but when I go to any of the grid views the duplicate pic is back again – it is behind the text info making it nearly impossible to read. I would rather just limit users views to just LIST VIEW. I have been looking at GeoDir Settings and cannot find where I can limit users choice of views. Is there a place that I can make this adjustment?
Thanks!Well, I thought I had it. Was working last night when I tested adding new items but this morning it is not. The only way my fix works is to go into each individual posting and create a new CSS entry. Here are the details from Archive Item Template:
[gd_archive_item_section type=’open’ position=’left’]
[gd_post_badge key=’featured’ condition=’is_not_empty’ badge=’FEATURED’ bg_color=’#fd4700′ txt_color=’#ffffff’ css_class=’gd-ab-left-angle gd-badge-shadow’]
[gd_post_images type=’image’ ajax_load=’true’ link_to=’post’ show_logo=’true’]
[gd_archive_item_section type=’close’ position=’left’]
[gd_archive_item_section type=’open’ position=’right’]
[gd_post_title tag=’h2′]
[gd_author_actions author_page_only=’1′]
[gd_post_distance]
[gd_post_rating alignment=’left’ list_hide_secondary=’2′]
[gd_post_fav show=” alignment=’right’ list_hide_secondary=’2′]
[gd_post_meta key=’business_hours’ location=’listing’ list_hide_secondary=’2′]
[gd_output_location location=’listing’]
[gd_post_content key=’post_content’ limit=’60’ max_height=’120′]
[gd_archive_item_section type=’close’ position=’right’]
