Can't display expired entries

Niall Thompson 7 Feb 2013 17:23 problem, complete

I can't seem to get my expired entries to display.

Any thoughts?

Here is the code I am using:

{exp:low_events:entries channel="events" limit="1" disable="member_data|trackbacks|category_fields|pagination" show_future_entries="yes" show_expired="yes" unit="day"}
{title}
{events:start_date format="%j"} {events:start_date format="%F"} {events:start_date format="%Y"}, {events:start_time format="%g:%i %a"}
{event_title}
{event_summary}

{/exp:low_events:entries}

   Don't confuse the native show_future_entries="" and show_expired="" parameters with Low Event's parameters show_upcoming="" and show_passed="".
   
   The former deal with the native entry date, the latter deal with the start/end dates set in the Low Events field.

   Thanks. I have corrected the code to the following and it still doesn't show past results:
   
   {exp:low_events:entries channel="events" limit="1" disable="member_data|trackbacks|category_fields|pagination" show_upcoming="yes" show_passed="yes" unit="day"}
   {title}
   {events:start_date format="%j"} {events:start_date format="%F"} {events:start_date format="%Y"}, {events:start_time format="%g:%i %a"}
   {event_title}
   {event_summary}
   
   {/exp:low_events:entries}

   You're setting unit="day" and limit="1" and you're not defining the date="" param, which means you're only showing a single event that happens today.
   
   What kind of list are you trying to generate with the tag?

   I see. Sounds like i'm getting it very wrong.
   
   I have a channel (events) and I wish to list the latest event (one entry) always whether it has passed or whether it is upcoming. Is that confusing matters?

   These parameters are giving me the results I need.
   
   {exp:low_events:entries channel="events" unit="custom" date_from="-1 year" date_to="+1 year" show_passed="yes" limit="1" orderby="low_events:end"}
   
   Thanks
