How to show all entries?

louisk 14 Sep 2012 11:41 question, complete

I would like to use the entries tag to show a list of ALL entries, sorted by its event date. At the moment I have to enter a date="".
How could I do this? Can I add multiple years in the date field?
Thanks

   If you don't need to take advantage of the extra parameters the low_events:entries tag gives you, you can also just use the native channel:entries tag and sort by the Low Events field, eg. {exp:channel:entries channel="events" orderby="event_dates"}

   Okay, thanks. I just did that and it works great.
   
   Just for the information; how would I do it if I would want to use extra param's?

   The extra params take care of viewing a selection of the events, eg, a given year, month, week or day; all upcoming or all passed events. If you're just showing all events (so, no calculation needed for the event dates to come to a selection), you don't need the extra params, and thus the low_events:entries tag doesn't cater for that.

   hm... but what if I would want to list all passed events in chronological order. I need to take advantage of the low params and I need to be able to sort by the start_date.
   
   Trying to do that I get the following, pretty useless sortorder

   Use low_events:entries unit="passed" to get a list of passed events (sorted by start_date).

   Ah yes!
   I thoght I tried that but I littered the tag various combinations of orderby, sort, unit and show_passed etc.
   
   Thanks!

   Hi Low, thanks.
   When I use:
   
   
{exp:channel:entries channel="events" show_future_entries="yes" orderby="event-date-low" sort="desc"}
{if event-date-low:passed}
ACTIVE
{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}

   
   Its not showing anything. Also "current" doesn't show anything.
   Only "upcoming" shows some entries.
   
   What could be wrong?
