Hello,
I use this code to display a carousel of events sorted by month / year on the basis of an ACF “DatePicker” field, it works very well.
I would just like to solve 2 problems:
1. Show my French months in no English
2. View the recorded day for the event
Below my code.
Thanks for your help
<?php
$group_posts = array();
if( $posts ) {
global $post;
foreach( $posts as $post ) {
$date = get_field('date_de_levenement', $post->ID, false);
$date = new DateTime($date);
$year = $date->format('Y');
$month = $date->format('F');
$group_posts[$year][$month][] = array($post, $date);
}
} ?>
<?php
foreach ($group_posts as $yearKey => $years) {
foreach ($years as $monthKey => $months) { ?>
<?php echo '<h4 class="blanc">' . $monthKey . ' ' . $yearKey . '</h4>';
foreach ($months as $postKey => $posts) {
setup_postdata($post); ?>
<a href='<?php echo get_the_permalink($post->ID) ?>'>
<?php ///// HERE DISPLAY DAY OF THE EVENT ////// ?>
<span class="blanc"><?php echo get_the_title(); ?></span>
</a>
<?php
} ?>
<?php }
} wp_reset_postdata();
?>
Hi Eric,
Your first issue : write month in French it’s not an ACF issue but a PHP one because you use ‘DateTime()‘ an ‘format‘ and this only works in English. If you want to get the month in French you can :
- Create an array to traduce the month yourself
- Convert your ‘DateTime()‘ into ‘Timestamp‘ to use ‘strftime‘ and a ‘setlocale()‘
For the first solution, the exemple :
Traduce_Month = array (
"January" => 'Janvier',
"February" => 'Fevrier',
...
)
echo '<h4 class="blanc">' .Traduce_Month[$monthKey]. ' ' . $yearKey . '</h4>';
For the second one you can find all the documentation needed in PHP codex by searching ‘strftime‘ and ‘DateTime::createFromFormat‘ (to convert you date).
For your second issue (still a PHP issue), to write the event date you just have to get the $date value you saved in your array ‘$group_posts[$year][$month][]‘ and echo it by using ‘$date->format‘ as you already done.
Hope it’s help
It’s perfect.
Thank you very much for your help!
