Hello,
I created an EVENT custom post type, and use ACF for date fields.
Do you think i can use revolution slider to display my post sorted by ACF date fields ?
I need to display the next event to come from today date…
thnaks
anyone knows revolution slider ??
thnaks
revolution slider had this function : getPostsByCategory.
with this query arg :
$query = array(
‘order’=>$direction,
‘posts_per_page’=>$numPosts,
‘showposts’=>$numPosts,
‘post_type’=>$postTypes,
);
my post has a ACF date repeater field (thedates) and i need to sort with first date of each one .
i tried to add this :
‘meta_key’ =>’thedates_0_thedate’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’,
but how could i filter to not display past post ? only if post >= today date ?
To display the date on slide i use the meta tag Revolution slider %meta:thedates_0_thedate% but the format is YYYYMMDD, i need to change it.
And %meta:mycustomtaxonomy% return and display the ID but not the name…
THANKS !!!
@pipoulito That is the format ACF stores dates. You should contact the developer of Revolution Slider to figure out how to use ACF fields with their plugin. I can tell you what’s ACF stores for a field but cannot help you use it in the other plugin.
Date fields should be sorted either as numbers or text, but not as dates.
@ryanacarty yes, Rev Slider is a commercial plugin that requires a license to update. Some themes package it and include it but not of them include a license for this plugin.
