You need get_the_time, not the_time to get the date (the latter echo‘s the value). You also need to re-evaluate how you’re trying to calculate the end date – you can’t just “add” the number of days. What if the event length was 3 but the start date was the 31st? if ( $event_length ) { … Read more
Here is the solution I came up with! In my plugin functions: <?php function ficma_inline_script() { $datedata = explode(“-“, $_POST[‘date’]); $year = $datedata[0]; $month = $datedata[1]; $day = $datedata[2]; $newdate = date(“M d, Y”, mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year)); ?> <script type=”text/javascript”> document.getElementById(“mm”).value = “<?=$month ?>”; document.getElementById(“cur_mm”).value = “<?=$month ?>”; document.getElementById(“hidden_mm”).value = “<?=$month ?>”; … Read more
What you can do is create a meta field under a post and store birth date in that field. Now you need meta_query in you post to retrieve the current date posts. <?php $currentDate = current_time( ‘Y-m-d’ ); $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘my_custom_post_type’, ‘meta_key’ => ‘birth_date’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ … Read more
Unfortunately as describes it is far from trivial to display just the date in localized format. The function for localized date output in WP is date_i18n(). But it doesn’t have a concept of output in arbitrary locale. It always takes locale to use from global $wp_locale context. You would have to pretty much rebuild this … Read more
$current_date is a timestamp and $compare_date is a formatted date, so you’re comparing different things. As you’re already using DateTime and as of PHP 5.2.2 DateTime objects can be compared using comparison operators, you can compare instead $expired_date (DateTime object) with today’s date as a DateTime object: $current_date = new DateTime(); $expired = new DateTime(); … Read more
This answer may help someone who really wants to customize their filters. With PhpStorm and breakpoints I could walk through how the meta_query is constructed before posts are fetched. There are no hook points in the flow that let developers accomplish this; I’ve used a SQL-injection trick to achieve the filter. // Do advanced SQL … Read more
I figured it out afterwards. Ended up using a different approach, I’m posting it in case someone has the same issue <?php date_default_timezone_set(‘America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires’); $posts_by_date_field = new WP_Query(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => -1, ‘meta_key’ => ‘fecha’, ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ‘meta_type’ => ‘DATE’ )); if ($posts_by_date_field->have_posts()) : while ($posts_by_date_field->have_posts()) : $posts_by_date_field->the_post(); // LOOP … Read more
You can use this inside the WordPress loop: if (get_post_type() == ‘post’) { // do something }
