@codeview muchas gracias! i have my own thing going now and it works,
I am now at the next step where i need to add a condition from a group switch to the mix (group/solo). I have the code, I just don’t know how to merge it in. Perhaps you have some advice.
Most grateful in any case
This is where I am at:
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$today = date('Ymd');
$past_args = array(
'paged' => $paged,
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'post_type' => 'exhibition',
'meta_query' => array (
array (
'key' => 'ex_start',
'value' => $today,
'compare' => '<',
'type' => 'DATE'
)
),
'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
'order' => 'DESC'
);
query_posts( $past_args );
?>
<?php
echo '<div class="biotitle">' . 'Solo Exhibitions' . '</div>';
?>
<!-- PAST EXHIBITIONS -->
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php
$date = get_field('ex_start');
$gallery = get_field('ex_gallery_name');
$past_year = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', $date);
$year = $past_year->format('Y');
// get start date
$datum1 = get_field('ex_start', false, false);
// make start date object
$datum1 = new DateTime($datum1);
// get end date
$datum2= get_field('ex_end', false, false);
// make end date object
$datum2 = new DateTime($datum2);
if ($year !== $today) { ?>
<h2><?php echo $year; ?></h2><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>
<?php } ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="exhibit"><?php the_title(); ?> , <?php echo $gallery; ?> , <?php echo $datum1->format('j M Y'); ?> - <?php echo $datum2->format('j M Y'); ?></a>
<?php $today = $year; ?>
<?php
echo "<p><br /></p>";
?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
and this is my final argument, that i am to inexperienced to merge in:
<?php
$posts = get_posts(array(
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'ex_groupsolo', // name of custom field
'value' => 'solo',
)
)
));
if( $posts ) {
//...
}
?>
