Recurring Events and Event Widget

Hi there,

I’ve just checked with our developer and a workaround for this would be to add the filter below to your functions.php file. However, this will limit all recurring events to display only a single event. I’d suggest that you give it a try and see if it’s what you’re looking for. Let us know how it goes.

function geodir_event_single_recurring( $groupby, $post_type ) {
    if ( $post_type == 'gd_event' ) {
        global $wpdb;
        $groupby = " GROUP BY $wpdb->posts.ID ";
    }
    
    return $groupby;
}
add_filter('geodir_filter_widget_listings_groupby', 'geodir_event_single_recurring', 100, 2 );

you can also do the same for search results with this snippet:

/**
 * Group the recurring events in search results.
 */
function gd_custom_group_recurring_events( $groupby, $wp_query ) {
    global $wpdb;
    
    if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['stype'] ) && $_REQUEST['stype'] == 'gd_event' && $wp_query->is_main_query() && geodir_is_page( 'search' ) ) {
        $groupby = $wpdb->posts . ".ID";
    }
    
    return $groupby;
}
add_filter( 'posts_groupby', 'gd_custom_group_recurring_events', 100, 2 );

that’s not possible… you can only group them all.

Thanks

Hi there,

I checked the snippet code provided by Kor Chung and it working fine.
Please provide us site FTP access so we can help you to put that code at right place.

Hi,

I have added function in file wp-content/themes/GDF_child/functions.php.
Now seems it working fine, the recurring event “Burning Man” displayed as a single in home page “Upcoming Events” widget.

Let us know.
Thanks

Hi,
The function will work for all recurring events.
If you want to turn back original events displaying & want to remove displaying single event instead of all recurring events then you can do it by two ways.

Either by using PHP comment for the code from line no. 23 – 33
OR
By removing code from line no. 23 – 33

The code will be found in the file wp-content/themes/GDF_child/functions.php

Thanks for letting us know.
