Great! Simple Events plugin ads no tables to your Wordpress blog database.If the plugin detects that there is a custom post type registered with a particular name (either 'event' or '*_event'), it steps in and does a number of useful additional things:
- For front-end queries fetching events, returned posts are sorted chronologically, the oldest first.
- For front-end queries fetching events, by default only future events are returned. This can be overridden by setting the custom parameter
slt_all_eventsin your posts query totrue. Alternatively, useslt_past_events(set totrue) to get only past events. - By default the current time is used to compare dates for selecting past or future events. To change the time used for the cut-off, use the filter
slt_se_listing_time_offset. It defaults to0(no change from the current time). To set the cut-off to 24 hours ahead of the current time, hook a function to this filter that returns that value in seconds, i.e.60 * 60 * 24. - By default events are ordered chronologically. To reverse the order, set
slt_reverse_eventstotrue. - In the admin listing page for events, an 'Event date' column is added.
- For particular queries, all actions performed by this plugin can be disabled by setting the custom parameter
disable_simple_eventsin your posts query totrue.
IMPORTANT: The automatic event filtering only kicks in with front-end queries done using WP_Query. Use this rather than get_posts.
In addition, this function is provided for convenience. If an event date exists for the post in question, it returns that; if not, it returns the standard post date.
<?php slt_se_get_date( $the_post = null ) ?>- $the_post (object) (optional) (default: global $post object)
NOTE: An Event Date custom field will be added to the event edit screen automatically if my Custom Fields plugin is active. Otherwise, make sure your event post type supports custom-fields (see [register_post_type](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type), and add dates to events with the format YYYY/MM/DD, e.g. 2011/12/21 - this format is required to allow sorting by this field.
NOTE: The filtering performed by this plugin currently doesn't work well with get_posts - for now, create custom loops with WP_Query.
