Hi EE guys and gals,

I’ve helping a friend get their EE site up and running.

The website a list of events, which have custom channel fields for the start date of the event.

I can already sort the entries in the channel by the custom start date - nice - which gives:

Event 1
Event 2
Event 3
Event 4.

The goal is to output the list of events so they are wrapped by the month from the custom start date.

January

Event 1
Event 2

Feb

Event 3
Event 4
Event 5

Can anyone help point me in the write direction?

I remember from using EE years ago that there was a script that used to output the entries in yearly/monthly groups for the archives - so it must be possible somehow?

Basically you need a custom query.  The add-on you remember was doing that in the background.

Hey there hexica,

Thanks for posting your question.

Mike is right - custom query is going to get this done for you.

I could not find that Add-On, do you recall where you saw it?

Cheers,

Cheers guys, sorry the last time I used EE would of been 5 years ago - if not more. Lots changed since then!

So rather than doing this in EE tags etc I need to create a custom PHP code to find, group and then output the content?

I think I understand. Cheers

Yep, looks like this situation is going to need a custom add-on. Do you happen to recall the name of the add-on you used at the time?
