i’m trying to display a list of future calendar events using the following code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="calendar" orderby="date" start_on="{current_time format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%i'}" show_future_entries="yes" dynamic="no"}        
    <div class="newsItem">
        <a href="/calendar/details/{url_title}"><h2>{title}</h2><p></a><br />
        <em>{entry_date format="%F %d, %Y"}</em><br />
        {calendar_description}<br />
    </div><br />
{/exp:channel:entries}

the issue that i’m having is that some of the entries that currently exist and who’s status is open are not being displayed. i’ve included a screen of the list on the site and the actual entries within edit tab of the cp.

i’m running ee 2.1.1 on engine hosting.

have since updated to the most recent version of ee yet the issue persists.

Are the entries expired, perhaps?

i’ll be damned, looks like that was indeed the issue. i could have sworn i double checked those. however, now i have an issue where i can’t get the entries to sort correctly by date.  ideally i would like them to be listed from the most recent on, but right now they seem rather random. i’ve played with several permutations of the following code to no avail.

{exp:channel:entries channel="calendar" orderby="date" sort="asc" start_on="{current_time format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%i'}" show_future_entries="yes" dynamic="no"}

RWS, when you say random, what do you mean? Was this a new install, or an upgrade from an earlier version of EE?

by random i mean there doesn’t seem to have a clearly discernible pattern to the order that these entires are being displayed (such as desc or asc). i’ve played with several options related to both the orderby and sort tags, but nothing seems do much to alter the order. iv’e included another screen shot to show how it’s showing up now…

this has always been an ee 2 installed site that was just recently upgraded from v2.1.1 to v.2.1.3 just after i noticed this particular issue.

Just to make sure, none of the entries are sticky, are they?

no, there doesn’t appear to be any stickiness going on.

If you take out the start_on and sort asc, does that work?

no.

just to be clear, does anyone know if the code that i initially have above flawed in some way? can what i’m asking be done? i feel like i’m really close but i need to get some resolution on this today or i may need to move on to something like solspace’s calendar module.

I’m thinking it has to do with how the content was added. What I’d like to have you try is to delete one of the problematic entries and put in a new one with the same values. Does *that* work?

that seemed to be the issue sue. thanks, you’re a life saver.

Hi running with scissors,

So, you’re good with this now? Can I close this thread?

Cheers

Greg
