I think this is not possible with the API functions provided by ACF. I would try to save the values to a temporary array first and then sort the values inside the array with php (using krsort() for example). Something like this (just to give an idea): while(has_sub_field(‘in_the_news’)) { $date = get_sub_field(‘published_date’); // $date = … Read more
There’s no need for the custom meta SQL filter – the beauty of storing dates in the format Ymd is that you can treat them numerically, and MySQL will still be able to find events in a given “range” and sort them ascending/descending. I’ve done this recently on another site using ACF for start/end date: … Read more
You are using this flatpickr, right? So I don’t use Elementor and therefore, I haven’t tested this with Elementor or an Elementor form. However, from what I could see, all you need to do to make both the minDate and dateFormat work, is add this: if ( self.settings.dateFormat ) { pickerSettings.dateFormat = self.settings.dateFormat; } above … Read more
It depends on the datepicker plugin you are using. Mostly all datepickers will have a default value you can play with. Usualy it is set within the input text type that hosts the datepicker. <input type=”text” class=”datepicker” default-value=”2013/07/25″> And in wordpress’ php you can do : <input type=”text” class=”datepicker” default-value=”<?php echo date(“Y/m/d”); ?>”>
maybe you include your scripts ui-core and picker too early. Use wp_enqueue script() to include on the right hook. You must not include ui-core, only datepicker! example: wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery-ui-datetimepicker’, \ $this->get_plugins_url( ‘js/ui.datetimepicker.js’, __FILE__ ), \ array(‘jquery-ui-core’) , 0.1, TRUE );` any tutorials: http://wpengineer.com/415/use-javascript-libraries-in-and-of-wordpress/ http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script http://wpengineer.com/2028/small-tips-using-wordpress-and-jquery/ I use the datepicker on different plugins and works fine, … Read more
In many cases, in backend you may use: jQuery(‘#something’) instead of $(‘#something’)
When you query the posts with orderby argument as a event_date (it could be any field with date format) the posts are ordered by date, desc or asc. So the only thing you have to do afterwards is to group them by year and month. So: <?php $posts = get_posts(array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘meta_key’ => … Read more
The Codex lists all of the comparison options on the WP_Query page. If you want events with a start date BETWEEN a range of dates, OR events with an end date BETWEEN a range of dates, something like this should work – ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘key’ => ‘event_start_date’, ‘value’ => array( $beginning_of_range, $end_of_range ), … Read more
Firstly you’ll need to stop storing the dates in D d.m format, the queries aren’t going to be able to sort based on that data. As wyrfel pointed out, you’ll need to use the alternate field option to have two fields, one that shows the pretty(or your chosen) date format, and another that holds the … Read more
You can try this. add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘wpcustom_enqueue_script’ ); function wpcustom_enqueue_script() { wp_enqueue_style( ‘datepicker-style’, ‘https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css’ ); wp_enqueue_script( ‘js-datepicker’, ‘https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js’, array(‘jquery’), null, true); } Readmore: http://jqueryui.com/datepicker/
