Displaying only events of previous months

[chspit]

Hi,
Can someone pls tell me how to display ONLY events of previous months in the List Mode of the Calendar.

Thanks in advance..

The List Mode shows events for the current month, or if displayed with the Normal or TOC Mode calendars, it shows events for the current displayed month.

If you can provide a link to your page where you want the List Mode, it would better help us understand the desired results and we can provide the code needed.

The link is http://purebrassquintet.com/charlene/calendar.php.

The code I used is:
<?php require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

<?php
$LIST=1;
$DF = "d M Y | D";
$template="monthly.php";
$listYear = 2008;
require ("calendar/calendar.php");
?>

I have used the $listYear = 2008; so that at least I can display events of the previous year. However I want to display the events of all the previous years (the previous 3 years will be enough in my case).

[Brian]

What year would you like to start with?

And you are wanting all of these event to appear below the Normal Code calendar?

[chspit]

I would like to start with the year 2005.

Yes it would be great if these events would appear below the Normal Code calendar.

Try changing this:

<?php
$LIST=1;
$DF = "d M Y | D";
$template="monthly.php";
$listYear = 2008;
require ("calendar/calendar.php");
?>

To this:

<?php
$mo=1;
$yr=2005;
$listWeeks=208;
$LIST=1;
$DF = "d M Y | D";
$template="monthly.php";
$listYear = 2008;
require ("calendar/calendar.php");
?>

Hi Brian,
thanks for your replies, however unfortunately it did not work out yet. when i changed the code, only the events for the year 2008 appeared. (see link). there should be other previous events for 2007 which do not appear.

Try removing the $listYear line.

[chspit]

When I remove the $listYear line, the future events are displayed.

Ok, now I changed the $listWeeks line to $listMonths and it worked. thanks for putting me on the right track..

This is the code:

<?php
$LIST=1;
$mo=1;
$yr=2005;
$listMonths=48;
$DF = "d M Y | D";
$template="monthly.php";
require ("calendar/calendar.php");
?>

However, with this solution I have to manually change the $listMonths value and increment it every month for the previous events to be shown correctly.

Is there another way that works from "today" backwards, rather than from 4 years ago to "today"?

I created a 'procedure' that could allow you to do that. Another client of mine had asked me to make the calendar into a "video archive".

Here's the result - http://www.ahmadiah-idrisiah.com/video-list.php [I have no affiliation with the content of the site]. He got a list that goes backwards, up to a date he specified.

If you'd be interested in the same solution, please contact me (link below).
