Show events that happen today

The CMS Questions
1

Hi again!
I have a list of events that are ordered by the date.
I would like to show only the events that happen today.

I guess I need to use an if statement but I can’t figure out how to fetch the event before the ‘foreach’. this is my code now:

<?php
        $events = page()->children()->template('event');
        $sortedEvents = $events->sortBy(function ($page) {
        return $page->date()->toDate();
        });

        foreach($sortedEvents as $event): ?>
            <?php snippet('event', ['event'=>$event])?>
<?php endforeach ?>

Would appreciate any help :pray:

You want to filter your events by date before you go into the loop: Filtering compendium | Kirby CMS

Thanks!
I almost succeeded.
I managed to filter future events. but for some reason it shows none when I try to show the events that happen today:

    <?php   
            $today = date('Y-m-d');
            $events = page()->children()->template('event')->filterBy('date', 'date >', $today);

            $sortedEvents = $events->sortBy(function ($page) {
            return $page->date()->toDate();
            });

            foreach($sortedEvents as $event): ?>
                <?php snippet('event', ['event'=>$event])?>
            
    <?php endforeach ?>

this one works - it shows only future events (and remove current events)

but when I changes the sign ‘>’ to ‘===’ (or ‘==’, ‘=’) it shows nothing.
and I have events that their date is today.
I even printed the $today and the $event->date() to see if it’s the same and it is

Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you!

$events = page()->children()->template('event')->filter(fn ($p) => $p->date()->toDate('Y-m-d') === $today);

It works now!
I’m not sure I understand what exactly that you did.
is it the same as this tutorial?

$year     = date('Y');
$articles = page('blog')
  ->children()
  ->filter(function ($page) use ($year) {
    return $page->date()->toDate('Y') === $year;
  });

Anyway - thank you so much :pray:

Yes, only with Y-m-d instead of year only

Only difference apart from that is the shorter callback syntax.

yeah I understand now! the shorter syntax got me confused
Thanks a lot again!
