Hi
I’m in a serious pinch here. I’m using ACF with the repeater field.
In the repeater field, there is a field named “date” and a field named “lieu” (location in french)
I want to get the last three items from date based on a specific location (it’s a number).
The first part works as I added a posts_where filter to accept “LIKE” statements for those fields:
function my_posts_where( $where )
{
$where = str_replace("meta_key = 'lieu_et_date_%_date'", "meta_key LIKE 'lieu_et_date_%_date'", $where);
$where = str_replace("meta_key = 'lieu_et_date_%_lieu'", "meta_key LIKE 'lieu_et_date_%_lieu'", $where);
return $where;
}
add_filter('posts_where', 'my_posts_where');
But to get the last 3 items, I would need to sort by date based on the meta key matching the “WHERE” statement. What I need is to know the wildcard’s “%” value.
Here is my code:
$args = array(
'post-type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'lieu_et_date_%_date',
'value' => time(),
'compare' => '>'
),
'AND',
array(
'key' => 'lieu_et_date_%_lieu',
'value' => $loc,
'compare' => '='
)
),
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'meta_key' => 'lieu_et_date_0_date',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
$query = new WP_Query($args);
Notice the “0” in “meta_key” used for sorting. THAT’s my problem.
It will sort using the first field (0) but it doesn’t always correspond to the “$loc” value.
Any ideas?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
