The Events Calendar: Patch for Private Events

private-events-patch.php

public function getEvents( $args = '' ) {
	$tribe_ecp = TribeEvents::instance();
	
	// Determine if user can read private events. If so, pass private events by default, otherwise hide them.
	global $current_user;
	if (user_can( $current_user->ID, 'read_private_tribe_events' )) {
		$defaults = array(
			'posts_per_page' => tribe_get_option( 'postsPerPage', 10 ),
			'post_type' => TribeEvents::POSTTYPE,
			'orderby' => 'event_date',
			'order' => 'ASC',
			'post_status' => array( 'publish', 'private' )
		);
	} else {
		$defaults = array(
			'posts_per_page' => tribe_get_option( 'postsPerPage', 10 ),
			'post_type' => TribeEvents::POSTTYPE,
			'orderby' => 'event_date',
		        'order' => 'ASC'
		);
	}
	
	$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults);
	return TribeEventsQuery::getEvents($args);
}

Modify getEvents() in /wp-content/plugins/events/lib/the-events-calendar.class.php on line 2348

So do I add this code to my functions.php file? or in tribe-community-events.class.php file?

You'll need to modify tribe-community-events.class.php and remember the next time you update the plugin, this hack will be wiped! So, you'll need to add it again.

I came to this site from this WP Support Topic: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-private-events-1

Is this not a patch for The Events Calendar? It appears it is for the Community Events plugin.

Ooops, you're right good catch, I had put the path to the community events class. It's corrected now.

Thanks! The patch works great!

You're welcome! Glad to hear it :)

No, this patch is for the base The Events Calendar plugin. You need to modify the core /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lib/the-events-calendar.class.php file on (currently) lines 2478 - 2489.

Does anybody have an updated patch for the latest version? I've tried inserting the old code, but it keeps spitting out errors. I'm very desperate to get this to work!
