I have some code to help filter posted events based on location name, which is defined with a sub category under the main category 'location' (id 35). The location name in the drop box will only display if the end date is the same or less than todays date. The end date is defined in the 'custom field' area when posting via worpress 3.x as the variable 'endDate' looking like 2010/10/08 (October 8, 2010)
All location names (Langley, Coquitlam, etc)are parented to the category 'location'.
The issue is that two 'locations' (Langley and Salt Spring Island) for events are showing up in the list which have come and gone. And one (Rocky Mountains) is not showing up at all.
My code is below. Please help me out.
Cheers,
Michael
