I am having problems adding dates to my admin columns
I’ve got it added but the date always shows as “10212016” instead of October 21, 2016.
I have my event_date field set to display and return as “October 21, 2016”
this is my code:
/*
* Add columns to forum post list
*/
function add_acf_columns ( $columns ) {
return array_merge ( $columns, array (
'event_date' => __ ( 'date of event' ),
'event_location' => __ ( 'location' )
) );
}
//add_filter ( 'manage_edit-cr3ativconference_columns', 'add_acf_columns' );
/*
* Add content to forum post list column
*/
function forum_custom_column ( $column, $post_id ) {
switch ( $column ) {
case 'event_date':
echo get_post_meta ( $post_id, 'event_date', true );
break;
case 'event_location':
echo get_post_meta ( $post_id, 'event_location', true );
break;
}
}
add_action ( 'manage_cr3ativconference_posts_custom_column', 'forum_custom_column', 10, 2 );
Hi @rudtek
That’s because you were using the get_post_meta() function instead of the get_field() function. This page should give you more idea about it: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/displaying-custom-field-values-in-your-theme/. So, you should be able to do it like this:
function forum_custom_column ( $column, $post_id ) {
switch ( $column ) {
case 'event_date':
echo get_field( 'event_date', $post_id );
break;
case 'event_location':
echo get_field( 'event_location', $post_id );
break;
}
}
add_action ( 'manage_cr3ativconference_posts_custom_column', 'forum_custom_column', 10, 2 );
I hope this helps 🙂
is there any way to do with with repeater fields, so i could say load all the speakers who are on that forum post?
Hi @rudtek
For the repeater field, kindly check the documentation here: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/repeater/.
Thanks 🙂
