First post here 😊

Is there any way to only show the past entries while using {exp:channel:entries}?
I’ve tried to use stop_before={current_time format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%i'} as a parameter, but it still shows entries that have not expired yet.

I want to make a page with archived events only. This is what I have:

{exp:channel:entries 
                        channel="events" 
                        dynamic="no" 
                        show_expired="yes" 
                        show_future_entries="no" 
                        orderby="event_date" 
                        sort="asc" 
                        status="open" 
                        stop_before={current_time format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%i'}}

[...]
                    {/exp:channel:entries}

I also found this thread: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/102726/ but no solution there as I want working pagination.

Any suggestions?

Anyone?

Welcome to the Forums!

Entries have two keys dates, Entry date (ie publish date) and Expiration date (ie expires on). By default EE won’t display anything with an Entry date set in the future unless you specify that with the show_future_entries parameter.

Are you using the Entry date for the date of your events, or are you using Expiration dates?

Have you removed the stop_before parameter to see what happens?

I was using a custom field for the date of my events. I decided to use the entry date for that instead and now the tags do exactly what I want.

Thanks 😊

Cool - glad you got it sorted!
