Show "events" for the next X days

I have a class called "event" with two date attributes - "event_start" and "event_stop".

How can I show all the "events" for the next X days, including events already started (under progress).

Anyone done this before, and willing to share the template - or lead me into the right direction?

I have been looking around in the forum for ideas/solutions, but with no luck.

Any help would be deeply appreciated..

I think this should work:

{let timestamp=maketime()
     current=gettime(timestamp)
     x=5
     start = maketime( 0, 0, 0, $current.month, $current.day, $current.year
     end = maketime( 23, 59, 59, $current.month, $current.day|sum( $x ), $current.year )
     events = fetch ( 'content', 'list',
         hash(
               'parent_node_id', $node.node_id,
               'attribute_filter', array
                   (
                       'or',
                       array( 'event_start', 'between', array( $start, $end ) ),
                       array( 'event_end', 'between', array( $start, $end ) )
                    )
              )
            )
}

Thank you. But I have another possible stupid question (I quite a newbie!):

How do I make this result show nodes line-view?

{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$:item}

or something?

{foreach $events as $event}
    {node_view_gui view='line' content_node=$event}
{/foreach}

Thanks for your patient with me.

But I am afraid I dont understand this code, and where to put what.

This is the code I am trying to use as an "view/full" overide:

{*?template charset=utf-8?*}
{let timestamp=maketime()
     current=gettime(timestamp)
     x=5
     start = maketime( 0, 0, 0, $current.month, $current.day, $current.year
     end = maketime( 23, 59, 59, $current.month, $current.day|sum( $x ), $current.year )
     events = fetch ( 'content', 'list',
         hash(
               'parent_node_id', $node.node_id,
               'attribute_filter', array
                   (
                       'or',
                       array( 'event_start', 'between', array( $start, $end ) ),
                       array( 'event_end', 'between', array( $start, $end ) )
                    )
              )
            )
{foreach $events as $event}
    {node_view_gui view='line' content_node=$event}
{/foreach}

{/let}

Forever grateful if you can help me.... ;)

I made a little mistake in the attribute filter, I forgot to prepend the class identifiers.

{*?template charset=utf-8?*}
{let timestamp=maketime()
     current=gettime(timestamp)
     x=5
     start = maketime( 0, 0, 0, $current.month, $current.day, $current.year
     end = maketime( 23, 59, 59, $current.month, $current.day|sum( $x ), $current.year )
     events = fetch ( 'content', 'list',
         hash(
               'parent_node_id', $node.node_id,
               'attribute_filter', array
                   (
                       'or',
                       array( 'event/event_start', 'between', array( $start, $end ) ),
                       array( 'event/event_end', 'between', array( $start, $end ) )
                    )
              )
            )
{foreach $events as $event}
    {node_view_gui view='line' content_node=$event}
{/foreach}
{/let}

I just get a blue document icon showing, when using this code:

{let timestamp=maketime()
     current=gettime(timestamp)
     x=5
     start = maketime( 0, 0, 0, $current.month, $current.day, $current.year
     end = maketime( 23, 59, 59, $current.month, $current.day|sum( $x ), $current.year )
     events = fetch ( 'content', 'list',
         hash(
               'parent_node_id', $node.node_id,
               'attribute_filter', array
                   (
                       'or',
                       array( 'event/event_start', 'between', array( $start, $end ) ),
                       array( 'event/event_end', 'between', array( $start, $end ) )
                    )
              )
            )
{foreach $events as $event}
    {node_view_gui view='line' content_node=$event}
{/foreach}
{/let}

Can you place this before the <b>foreach</b> loop:

{$events|count}

What do you get now?

The blue icon is gone, and nothing shows.

Some fixes in the code, this time I've tested it myself:

{let timestamp=maketime()
     current=gettime($timestamp)
     x=5
     start = maketime( 0, 0, 0, $current.month, $current.day, $current.year )
     end = maketime( 23, 59, 59, $current.month, $current.day|sum( $x ), $current.year )
     events = fetch( 'content', 'list',
         hash(
               'parent_node_id', $node.node_id,
               'attribute_filter', array(
                       'or',
                       array( 'event/event_start', 'between', array( $start, $end ) ),
                       array( 'event/event_end', 'between', array( $start, $end ) )
                    )
              )
            )
}
{foreach $events as $event}
    {node_view_gui view='line' content_node=$event}
{/foreach}
{/let}

Okay, all previous debug error is gone.

One warning: "Attribute filter returned false"

Nothing shows....

Replace event_end with event_stop.
