Hi,

first of all. Fantastic Plugin.

I try to realize a coupon section.

Im using the Date Picker with this code:

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat(‘Ymd’, get_field(‘gultigkeit’));
$datum = $date->format(‘d-m-Y’);
$heute = date(‘d-m-Y’);
if ($datum >= $heute): ?>

If $datum (get_field(‘gultigkeit’) is empty i have an php error.

Ive tried it with isset() and !emplty(). But it didnt work. Hope you have an idea.
Thx in advance

Hi @madmaxy

You should check for the get_field around everything instead. Since otherwise you attempt to create a datetime etc. with no second parameter so $datum wont be empty.

if( get_field('gultigkeit') ){
	$date = DateTime::createFromFormat(‘Ymd’, get_field(‘gultigkeit’));
	$datum = $date->format(‘d-m-Y’);
	$heute = date(‘d-m-Y’);	
	
}
