@edumusa my apologies for not responding all that time ago 🙁 Perhaps this will help you as well (though, I doubt you still need it)
@fuberator – here is my code, using Custom Post Type “event”. It’s my original post code combined with Elliot’s answer (with a few changes, I think…it’s been awhile). I hope it helps:
<?php
$currentdate = date("Y-m-d",mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")-1,date("Y")));
/* Order Posts based on Date Picker value */
$posts = get_posts(array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'event', // name of custom post type
'meta_key' => 'event_enddate', // name of custom field
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC',
'meta_query'=> array(
array(
'key' => 'event_enddate',
'compare' => '<',
'value' => $currentdate,
'type' => 'DATE',
))
));
$years = array();
if( $posts )
{
foreach( $posts as $post )
{
setup_postdata( $post );
// get date
$date = date_create( get_field('event_enddate') );
// get year
$year = date_format($date,'Y');
// create new year if not already exists
if( !isset( $years[ $year ]) )
{
$years[ $year ] = array(
'title' => $year,
'posts' => array()
);
}
// add post to year
$years[ $year ]['posts'][] = $post;
}
wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly
}
if( $years )
{
foreach( $years as $year )
{
echo '<h2>' . $year['title'] . '</h2>';
echo '<ul>';
if( $year['posts'] )
{
foreach( $year['posts'] as $post )
{
setup_postdata( $post );
// get date
$date = date_create( get_field('event_enddate') );
echo '<li><a href="';
the_permalink();
echo '">';
the_title();
echo '</a><br>';
echo date_format($date,'F d, Y');
echo '</li>';
}
}
echo '</ul>';
}
wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly
}
?>
