    Hi,
    I have created an event (FESTIVAL A). This event begins on October 23 and ends on November 1.
    So, in the page URL/events (in the zone below of the map) it will be shown 10 times (there are 10 record or boxes, one for each day).
    So there is on box with date: October 23, other box with date October 24, end so on to November 1
    But this is the same event (it is a festival).
    So, my question is the following:
    Is there a way in order to show below of the map only one “RECORD” or “BOX, and into this record/box to show the following date: from October 23 to November 1. ?
    Thank`sfor your support.

    Hi,

    did you create it as a recurring event?

    Would be great if you could provide a link and admin credentials so that we can see what you mean.

    Let us know,

    Hi, yes the problem is “recurring event”. There is an error in MULTISITE WEBS.
    Following I will explain you.
    I have a web with MULTISITE. If I create an event in multisite web, in the DATA FORM I only can select the date (there is no the option “Recurring event? No/Yes”). So if I select in the calendar 10 days, the page URL/events show 10 RECORDS.
    Now, I have gone in other of my webs where there is no MULTISITE. If I create an event, in the web without MULTISITE, in the DATA FORM (before the calendar) I can select “Recurring event? No/Yes”.
    If I select NO, in the page URL/events only will be shown one RECORD (so all run well).
    So, the problem is only in MULTISITE WEB, (where there is no the option “Recurring event No/Yes”).
    After our conversation about Geodirectory App, I have decided remove MULTISITE from my web. So I can not give you admin credencial. In the case you want investigate this error in MULTISITE WEBS, I can not help you…
    For me the problem have been resolved because the problem only appear in MULTISITE webs, and just now I don’t have any MULTISITE WEB.
    Only I want to indicate a little error. In the RECORD, showed in the page URL/events (below the map), say the following: Date: October 23 (but it must say October 23 / November 1).
    However if I do click in the Title of the RECORD, and I go into the event, in the right sidebar will be shown Date: October 23 / November 1.
    So the information about the date of the EVENTS is correct when I go into the events (it is shown in the right sidebar).
    But the information about the date of the events is NO CORRECT in the page URL/events.
    Do you understand me? If no, tell me that you don’t have understood and I will send a picture with more details.
    Let me know.
    Thank’s for your support.

    Hi,
    I have created an event with title “EcoSí. Feria de la Sostenibilidad”.
    This event is from October 23 to November 1.

    1. In the page http://www.soysostenible.website/events the RECORD show the following:
    Date: 23 Octubre 2015 (I think it must show DATE: From 23 Octubre 2015 to 1 Novembre 2015)
    I add the picture:
    http://soysostenible.website/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Error-in-the-date.jpg

    2. If I go into the event doing click in the title of the event,
    http://soysostenible.website/events/spain/cataluna/gerona/alimentacion-y-agricultura-ecologica-1/spain/cataluna/gerona/alimentacion-y-agricultura-ecologica-1/ecosi-feria-de-la-sostenibilidad/
    in the right sidebar will be shown the following:
    Date: From 23 Octubre 2015 to 1 Noviembre 2015 (so in this case the date is correct)
    I add the picture:
    http://soysostenible.website/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/No-Error-in-the-data.jpg

    I think that in http://www.soysostenible.website/events there is an error. Do you think so?
    I hope your answer
    Thanks for your support

    Hi. Thanks very much for resolve the problem about the error in the date.
    I am testing EVENTS ADDON, and I have seen one thing that I think you must change.
    Following I explain you.
    I have created the following event:
    http://soysostenible.website/events/spain/islas-baleares/palma-de-mallorca/alimentacion-y-agricultura-ecologica-1/spain/islas-baleares/palma-de-mallorca/alimentacion-y-agricultura-ecologica-1/test-recurreing-event-yes
    It is an example of weekly market. It start on october 29 2015 and finish on october 29 2016 (during one year)
    The setting of my LISTING PAGE is the following:
    SHOW EVENTS UPCOMING
    With this setting the LISTING PAGE will show at the users the following:
    http://soysostenible.website/events/
    You can see that this events in this page will be shown more of 50 times (one BOX RECORD for each week). I think it is no very very good to show.
    In order to resolve that, I suggest 2 SOLUTION:

    SOLUTION 1
    I think the LISTING PAGE must show only “one BOX RECORD”, and show in the DATA FIELD the date of the next event (for example: if we are on november 3 the date must be “november 5”. If we are on november 6 the date must be “november 12”. You also can add after the date the word WEEKLY, so the user can understand that this event is repeatED each week).
    With this design, the LISTING PAGE will be more clean, no very large and simple to understand.

    SOLUTION 2:
    If you can`t do this changes, there is another solution:
    At this time, there are the actuals following OPTIONS
    OPTION 1: SHOW ALL EVENT
    OPTION 2: SHOW PAST EVENTS
    OPTION 3: SHOW TODAY EVENTS
    OPTION 4: SHOW UPCOMING EVENTS
    You can add the following options:
    OPTION 5: SHOW EVENTS IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS
    OPTION 6: SHOW EVENTS IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS
    So the RECORD BOX of the “weekly events” only will be shown one time if the LISTING PAGE are setting with OPTION 5, and no more of 4 times if the LISTING PAGE are setting with OPTION 6.

    Let me know:
    1. If you think just like me, (for weekly (and monthly) events a lot of BOX RECORD are shown in LISTING PAGE).
    2. If you think resolve this problem using SOLUTION 1, SOLUTION 2 or both solution (1 and 2).
    I think that independent of the RECURRING EVENT, it will be very interesting introduce:
    OPTION 5: SHOW EVENTS IN THE NEXT 7 DAYS
    OPTION 6: SHOW EVENTS IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS
    because they are two option that let at the users filter the events based in a more interesting date range (UPCOMING EVENTS will show events that will be celebrate in the next 6 month o one year, so they are very distant date).

    I hope your answer in order to understand if you think to do some changes for solve the problem I have detected.
    Thanks very much for your support.

    Hi Giuseppe,

    at the moment it doesn’t look right because you only have 1 event, however this is how the plugin has been designed. 1 event showing for each reoccurance.

    Once you will have more than one recurring events, the events for future dates will go paginated and the issue will disappear.

    Thanks

    Hi Paolo, I understand. Your are right but only at 50%
    You are right in the events general page
    http://www.infocity.website/events
    In this page all events are ordered using “DATE”, so the LISTING of the recurrent events are mixed with the other events.
    But you no are right in the event search page
    If I write in the NEAR FIELD the city GIRONA, BOX EVENTS will be ordered using “DISTANCE”, so the BOX RECURRENT EVENTS will be showed “one after another”, and it is no very very good to show…
    You can see that following this link:
    http://infocity.website/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_event&s=+&snear=girona&sgeo_lat=41.9794005&sgeo_lon=2.821426400000064
    Do you understand me?
    Let me know what do you think about that.
    I Hope your answer.
    Thanks for your support

    Hi,

    events search can be filtered by date too with advance search filters.

    If you search for events near a certain place, without filtering dates, the behaviour is correct.

    Thanks

    Hi, I am investigating how works SEARCH ADDON. I have seen that user can select a date. It is a good feature, but I need other feature.
    I`d like reduce clicks of the users, and to show at the users like default the events in the next 30 days.
    So, I`d like setting from administration panel the following:
    SHOW EVENTS IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS LIKE DEFAULT
    With SEARCH ADDON I have understood that this is no possible.
    So my question are:
    1. If I pay, does “GeoDirectory Tecnical Support” offer a PERSONALIZABLE CUSTOMIZE SERVICE and let my web “SHOW EVENTS IN THE NEXT 30 DAYS LIKE DEFAULT”?
    2. Can I show the following page ordering (sorting out) the BOX RECORDS with DATE and NO with DISTANCE?
    http://infocity.website/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_event&s=+&snear=girona&sgeo_lat=41.9794005&sgeo_lon=2.821426400000064

    Thanks very much for your answer.

    1) we don’t provide customization services

    2) no, if a location is entered like that in the near field, it will always sort by distance. If instead if you 1st switch location to Girona, then search by date, it will order the events by date.

    Thanks

    Hi,
    1. OK
    2. I dont understand very well… What it mean the following:
    “1st switch location to Girona, then search by date”
    Do you want say the following:
    http://infocity.website/events/spain/catalunya/girona/
    Now filter that by date
    I think you dont want say that…

    Or do you want say the following?:
    First, write in the NEAR FIELD the word GIRONA and click in SEARCH BOTTON.
    I will be redirected to the following page:
    http://infocity.website/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_event&s=+&snear=girona&sgeo_lat=41.9794005&sgeo_lon=2.821426400000064
    Now filter that by date
    If you want say that, Id like to do that but with my web I cant because I dont have SEARCH ADDON.
    I have look all the web you are in the DEMO SECTION in WPGEODIRECTORY.COM
    The web most complete in order to do that is http://www.love-weymouth.co.uk
    So, I have introduced weymouth in the NEAR FIELD. I have had redirected to the following page:
    http://www.love-weymouth.co.uk/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_event&s=+&snear=weymouth&event_start=&event_end=&sgeo_lat=50.6144279&sgeo_lon=-2.4576210000000174
    But now there is no the SEARCH BAR in order to filter events by date…
    If you want say that, please tell me a web where I can complete the process you told me.

    If I have had a no correct interpretation of your previous answer, please give me more details, so I will understand what you say.

    Thank very much for your support.
