Low Events not displaying anything used with Structure.

Jake Chapman 27 Nov 2013 21:05 problem, rejected

I can't get any events to show up at all.. copied and pasted straight from the docs. Everything is linked correctly with structure..

1. Channel of Events with Low Events field attached.
2. Linked up Events in structure to be of type "Listing" and attached to template Events/single-event.html
3. Created Structure Page called Events that is attached to template Events/Index.html and attached the Events Listings to this page.
4. go to the Events Page, with nothing showing up.

no idea why I can't get anything to show anything. All I need is to list all events, then click through to individual event pages. No crazy filtering by dates or anything. Just all events for all dates, click through to single event.

    Here is the template debugging output.

    I have a feeling I'm just doing something stupid.

    Your template code has a native channel:entries tag, not a low_events:entries tag, which leads me to think it's an issue outside Low Events.

    What are your Low Events settings? If you have "Overwrite entry and expiration dates" set to Yes, then don't forget to add show_future_entries="yes" (and maybe show_expired="yes") to the Entries tag.

    You can also try and enable Template Debugging to see what is going on. What does that tell you (look up the lines that mention Low Events).

    Sorry I had just switched that out to try it.. It was the low_events:entries tag. It is the same blank page.

    In that case, my suggestions still apply. Can you verify the options I mentioned?

    {exp:low_events:entries channel="events" show_future_entries="yes"}
    worked. The single event I have shows up.. when I click through to /events/event-title-name, the event details don't show up unless I leave the show_future_entries="yes" on. Does that seem right?

    Does that seem right?


    Well, that's the effect of having "Overwrite entry and expiration dates" set to Yes in the fieldtype's settings.

    If you want the entry and expiration dates to be left alone (ie. use for publishing purposes only), set it to No.
