I'd like to use a widget or put something in my template to display the next 5 events (and their date). I've found widgets that display future posts, but they all work based on the future posts being unpublished and don't include links to the posts since they are just meant to be teasers. Does anyone know of a widget that cooperates with the Future is Now plugin to display upcoming events (posts?), even if they are published and not just scheduled? Alternately, can anyone give me some PHP to put in my template?

I'm trying to use Event Calendar 3 and display the next future event on <a href="http://test.jackiekeiser.com">my website</a>. Right now I'm using <code>query_posts('showposts=1&amp;cat=3&amp;post_status=future&amp;order=ASC');</code> to display the next event in the event category. The problem with this however is that Event Calendar 3 won't display unpublished events. I decided to install The Future is Now to solve my problem but `query_posts('showposts=1&cat=3&post_status=future&order=ASC');' no longer works because there are no more future posts. How can I publish a post AND display the next upcoming event? iclapton on "Future Posts on a page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/181245#post-981221 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 08:19:52 +0000 iclapton 981221@http://wordpress.org/support/ Is happening the same with Tades... iclapton on "Future Posts on a page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/181245#post-980939 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 23:56:05 +0000 iclapton 980939@http://wordpress.org/support/ The code, a little bi modified, to get little improvement of the filter: <pre><code><?php query_posts($query_string .

The problem is that the post navigation got confused... i underestand what is happening, but I can´t realize how to solve it, any help would be great! ( I hope I can explaint it well, my english is poor! ;) The problem: I have like 12 posts to be showed after de "future date" filter. My setup it to show 10 posts on the homepage, but it just show one on the first page, but give you the choice to "navigate" to the second page, where there is 10 posts... What I think is happening: I think the problem is that the "check date" is after the "check post", so the loop recognize the old posts, and althought they aren´t showed, the system considers it. I really have 9 old posts! I tryed to change the "check date" place, but I couln´t get it working! Any help???

First check if there is a post. If so, check the date. Then do the html. I did some reshuffling in your code.

Instead of blog posts, I'll be doing events with blurbs. Obviously, the event (post) dates would be in the future, so they would need to be able to display. Make sense? Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated!

That's I was looking for. disbas on "Future Posts on a page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/181245#post-855170 Wed, 17 Sep 2008 08:08:58 +0000 disbas 855170@http://wordpress.org/support/ I took a different approach to get a list of upcoming events (using the future is now-plugin). <pre><code><?php query_posts('cat=5&posts_per_page=5&orderby=date&order=ASC'); ?> <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post() ?>  <?php //check the dates $post_date = mysql2date("Ymd", $post->post_date_gmt); $currentdate = date("Ymd", strtotime('-1 day')); $expirationdate = $post_date; if ( $expirationdate > $currentdate ) { ?>  <?php } //end date check ?> <?php endwhile ?></code></pre> The code returns a list of the next 5 events in category 5 (i.e. events). Todays events are listed as well because of the strtotime. No need to change any of the core files. Just put this code in your sidebar to get upcoming events. sk8n4s8n on "Future Posts on a page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/181245#post-848131 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 15:25:50 +0000 sk8n4s8n 848131@http://wordpress.org/support/ Looks like musik's solution is what I'm in need of, but I cannot overwrite general-template.php on my server, I've changed the files permissions too.. any suggestions? parthatel on "[Plugin: The Future Is Now] The Future is Now plugin only works when logged in as Admin!" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/196825#post-830644 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 17:04:51 +0000 parthatel 830644@http://wordpress.org/support/ bump parthatel on "[Plugin: The Future Is Now] The Future is Now plugin only works when logged in as Admin!" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/196825#post-829473 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 23:39:41 +0000 parthatel 829473@http://wordpress.org/support/ I've been stumped over and over again when trying to render future posts and showing them. They sometimes dont appear at all and other times they appear. I first though this was a browser problem. It'll work on FF and then I'll work on IE the next day. Actually, it only appears when you're logged in as admin. I tried logging in as a user and it doesn't work for them either. So, this means there is a bug in the plugin, or it actually worked on another version of Wordpress. But on the plugin home page, it says that the plugin doesn't change the Wordpress backend. Please fix this. I would really appreciate it. jzo on "Future Posts on a page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/181245#post-828357 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 18:01:30 +0000 jzo 828357@http://wordpress.org/support/ Many thanks Anonymous on "[Plugin: The Future Is Now] Event-Date and posting date" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/194705#post-822506 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 07:13:58 +0000 Anonymous 822506@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hi, I'm really impressed by this plugin, many thanks for the author. I've a suggestion. It'd be nice if we have a facility to record the vent-date along with the posting-date. Currently I used the default publishing date as the event-date and decided to add a "custom-filed' named "Posted on" with every posts. Can I set this setup as default with my system?

'\''</code> Nice solution :) musik on "Future Posts on a page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/181245#post-789247 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 06:05:09 +0000 musik 789247@http://wordpress.org/support/ OK! I've solved my problem of future posts not showing up on the sidebar calendar and here is how. You will still need to install 'The Future Is Now' plugin. <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-future-is-now/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-future-is-now/</a> Activate it in your Plugin settings on your dashboard. Now open general-template.php which is found in the folder wp-includes Go to Line 639 or thereabouts... Or look for the following code; <pre><code>// Get days with posts $dayswithposts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT DISTINCT DAYOFMONTH(post_date) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE MONTH(post_date) = '$thismonth' AND YEAR(post_date) = '$thisyear' AND post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' AND post_date < '" . current_time('mysql') . '\'', ARRAY_N);</code></pre> Change it to; <pre><code>// Get days with posts $dayswithposts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT DISTINCT DAYOFMONTH(post_date) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE MONTH(post_date) = '$thismonth' AND YEAR(post_date) = '$thisyear' AND post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' " /*AND post_date < '" . current_time('mysql') . '\''*/, ARRAY_N);</code></pre> When you create your new future posts change the Publish Status to 'Published' and select the date your event/gig etc is on. Now your calendar will show future date posts. :) rforster on "Future Posts on a page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/181245#post-780078 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 06:35:57 +0000 rforster 780078@http://wordpress.org/support/ Here's the part to get a date one less than today: where post_date > NOW()+0 -1000000 or where post_date > NOW() The first gets the current date and time, converts it to a number and subracts and amount so the day is one less than today. This really gets you any event (Post) that was done yesterday at the current time. Example: Create a post for a car show in the events category with a start time of 8:00. Doesn't really matter what the end time is but in the content portion you could make note. The "where post_date > NOW()" will give you everything that hasn't happened yet. Example: The car show example above this would be a bad way to write this line as when someone visits the page at 8:30 the NOW() will be greater than post_date so it wouldn't show on you page. I'll figure out how to subtract everything from the current time back to midnight. Really just preference for the types of events you might have. Now how do we pull the "events" category..... rforster on "Future Posts on a page?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/181245#post-780053 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 06:01:39 +0000 rforster 780053@http://wordpress.org/support/ I'm writing a piece of code that will display a list of future events. Here's what I have done and want to do: I made a category called Events. I made a page called Events. Have php-exec plugin installed. Have cludged together the folowing: $query = "select * from wp_posts order by post_date desc limit 20"; This works with some other statements. So it is selecting all of the fields in records from the posts table. Nice. I need the "where" statement worked out: $query = select * from wp_posts Where post_date is greater than yesterday and category is equal to "Events" order by post_date asc limit 20"; I've tried a few where statements involving dates but they either fail or get 0 events. Also, I don't see where the "post_category" field does anything. I went into phpMyAdmin and this field has all zeros. Just dont know how this works. I'll post the code commented nicely when I get these statements worked out.

With the 'Future is Now' installed I can get the future posts to show in the sidebar under 'Archives' as a link under the month it falls into, but it refuses to show up in the calendar in the sidebar.
