Thread

I’ve searched through the forum and tried to solve this issue, but I’ve not had any luck.

I’m trying to simply display a list of the current month’s events on a page. When posting events, I give each event an entry date and expiration date.

If I use the following code, the page displays the first month with an event of the entire year only:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="calendar" show_future_entries="yes" show_expired="yes" sort="asc"  dynamic_parameters="weblog" display_by="month" limit="1" orderby="date"}  
            {date_heading display="monthly"}
            <h2>{entry_date format="%F"} Events</h2>
<p>            {/date_heading}             </p>

<p>            </p><h3><a href="http://{title_permalink=calendar/details">{title}</a></h3>
<p>            {entry_date format='%D - %F %j,%Y'}<br />
            <div class="dotLine"></div><br />
        {/exp:weblog:entries}

How can I alter this to display only the current month? Thanks for any help.

Hey, how r you?

I would guess, currently, when you load the page with this tag you’re actually getting information for the first month you have information for?

I just went thru this exact process. Try appending your URL with /2007/06, June being the current month. If this works for you, you just need to provide EE a little direction.

In your template that calls the template with this tag you will add this:

<!-- lets tell EE what the current month is -->
<?php
global $LOC;
$current_time = $LOC->decode_date('%Y/%m/', $LOC->now);
?> 

<!-- here's your menu that will call the events page -->

<div id="Main_nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="/pathToMenuItme1/">menu item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="/pathToMenuItme2/">menu item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="/pathToEventsPage/&lt?php">Events</a></li>
//notice the appended URL with the current time
</div>

I’m by no means a expert…but I just had this exact same issue…If I can help out, I’m glad to.

Thanks for the quick response! This was exactly what I was looking for. 😊
