Using Low Search and Low Events together to get a list of future events filtered by a relationship field

Joe Beaver 31 Jan 2016 22:39 question, complete

So I have used Low Search to filter via a relationship field before in this way:

{exp:low_search:results channel="news" dynamic="no" limit="5" child:related-artists="{segment_3}" orderby="entry_date" sort="desc"}

This works perfectly, however I now need to do the same task but for future Low Events. I saw something on the website that says Low Events works together with Low Search, but when I try this:

{exp:low_search:results channel="calendar" limit="10" child:cal-artist="{segment_3}" low_events:show_passed="no" show_future_entries="yes"}

I get the error "Unable to load the requested file: helpers/low_events_helper.php". Am I doing something wrong here or is what I want to do not possible?

* Low Events v1.5.1
* Low Search v4.4.2
* ExpressionEngine v2.9.3

Hope you can help!

Thanks

   Can't seem to be able to replicate...
   
   I'll need to take a look myself. Please send SuperAdmin and FTP login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com if you can.

   Hold on, try opening low_events/filters/low_events/lsf.low_events.php and look op line #108 which reads
   
   

   $Events = new Low_events();

   
   
   Change that to...
   
   

   ee()->load->add_package_path(PATH_THIRD.LOW_EVENTS_PACKAGE); 
    $Events = new Low_events(); 
    ee()->load->remove_package_path(PATH_THIRD.LOW_EVENTS_PACKAGE);

   
   
   Does that help?

   Hi,
   I've been trying something similar to the above and am getting the same error message
   
   Unable to load the requested file: helpers/low_events_helper.php
   
   However, when I try to update the core file as suggested I'm getting the following error
   
   Use of undefined constant LOW_EVENTS_PACKAGE - assumed 'LOW_EVENTS_PACKAGE' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)
   user/addons/low_events/filters/low_events/lsf.low_events.php, line 109
   
   Thanks

   Looks like you're using a newer version of LE, which doesn't set those constants.
   Try using this instead:
   
   

   ee()->load->add_package_path(PATH_THIRD.'low_events');

   Great thanks for that!
