Future Events type

kyl3 — Wed, 13 Jan 2021 00:11:06 GMT

Does HS have anything like a WordPress custom post type? I know of blogs but I need a post type like events that would be in the future and queried and parsed as such based on time/date. Seems like this is really needed.

Hi @kyl3!

I am gathering you want to show future dated events is that correct?

HubDB might be an option here.

@Bryantworks , @alyssamwilie how would you all solves this?

Thanks for the tag @dennisedson! Yes, I believe HubDB would be the best case here. I've worked with a few other companies in helping them structure a queriable database where they can sort events by location, time, and more. So I feel like this is likely a good case here.

Unfortunately, HubDB can be a bit complex in setting it up from but a developer who has worked in HubSpot before should be able to assist.

@Bryantworks Thanks, I thought was an option but hadn't dug into HubDB yet. Can you share your code so I could get a jumpstart on our build out?
