As a follow-up to custom dynamic list ranges, you can now filter dynamic lists using a start date of “Today,” (i.e., the day a person views them).
This lets you create dynamic lists and pages that update automatically over time. So, you could create lists of events for “today” or “next week,” or highlight your top blog posts from “last year.”
Even better, if you filter by automatic fields like “created on,” your dynamic list will update automatically as your clients add and change items. This works as you’d expect with dynamic list ranges and pagination.
Let us know if you have questions, comments, or bug reports!
Note: CMS-driven websites are cached for 12-hour periods, so date-sensitive content will update twice in one day.
Whoa. This is kind of weird. I’m on the forums 20 minutes ago talking about a native events calendar, and it looks like this is the feature I thought was missing that I needed.
However, @Adrian ,
With this feature I will be able to create a Happening Today event. But for my past events and upcoming events, it will always include the current one, as the “From” field is set to Today and seems like it cannot be changed to Tomorrow and yesterday for example
Plus, Let’s say I have an exhibition from Date A to Date B. How can I create a dynamic list of 1 item displaying the Current exhibition?
@thesergie : Sorry for bringing this up again, but I have to ask.
Im making events that have a start date and a stop date. Is i possible to make the event disappear automatically after the stop date with the filtering options? I cant seem to get my head around it.
I guess that’s what @Hywel was asking?
@Hywel@krubens Actually it should work fine if you set up the filter correctly. I just created two fields - Start Date and End Date. Here I have a list of events and filter by End Date is 6 months in the future. If i don’t want to include a date that can be in progress I can use “Start Date is 6 months in the future” filter instead.
This is what’s set for the top event. So it’s showing up on the list while the event “End Date” has not been reached. (I’m comparing it to today which is 2/16/2016)
Note: If you really want you can even add a label and add condition visibility so that it only appears when an event is currently LIVE in this Upcoming Events list. You can just have it be visible if the start date is in the past.
Is there any way to use this to create a https://mixitup.kunkalabs.com type functionality? I have a bunch of items in a collection that I’d like to be able to sort and have them show/hide ones that match.
Hi @thesergie
I don’t think this helps. I am dealing live events which should not show after the event date. There is no relationship between the date the item was set up and the event date - could be a day or a month, so how do I stop the item being published when today is greater than the event date?
I think I need help on a similar thing.
I have a site I am working on that displays 6 new shows each week, then has a section below showing the previous weeks 6 picks. I cannot work it out… currently just have an active/inactive switch to populate the previous week but want to have a way to tell CMS to 'display only shows added between 10th & 16th September"…
Does that make any sense? displaying content based on specific date ranges…
Hey Dave, did you get anywhere with this? If seems to be coming up time and time again; a radio station also needs it for upcoming events. It’d be great to incorporate this feature
