How are you currently getting the event list? If you are doing a DB query, you could add the condition that event_begin is in the future. Another option is to use the “upcoming_events” function which produces an HTML UL list of the upcoming events, then apply some string manipulation to convert it to a SELECT list.
The event list is being dynamically populated from all of our events. We added the following code to the themes functions.php file. But we can’t figure out how to get it to just pull the upcoming events and not all events. Can you help us with that?
add_filter( ‘gform_pre_render_4’, ‘populate_posts’ );
add_filter( ‘gform_pre_validation_4’, ‘populate_posts’ );
add_filter( ‘gform_pre_submission_filter_4’, ‘populate_posts’ );
add_filter( ‘gform_admin_pre_render_4’, ‘populate_posts’ );
function populate_posts( $form ) {
foreach ( $form[‘fields’] as &$field ) {
if ( $field->type != ‘select’ || strpos( $field->cssClass, ‘populate-posts’ ) === false ) {
continue;
}
// you can add additional parameters here to alter the posts that are retrieved
// more info: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts
$posts = get_posts( ‘post_type=event&numberposts=-1&post_status=published’ );
$choices = array();
foreach ( $posts as $post ) {
$choices[] = array( ‘text’ => $post->post_title, ‘value’ => $post->post_title );
}
// update ‘Select a Post’ to whatever you’d like the instructive option to be
$field->placeholder = ‘Select an Event’;
$field->choices = $choices;
}
return $form;
}
Looks like you are querying for events from The Events Calendar, not from my Spiffy Calendar plugin.
