  • Thanks, @airesvsg, I got everything working.

  • @airesvsg What about editing repeater fields? I’m not sure how to target a repeater field.

  • @arjen_m Are you using a field named “start_date” in ACF? For my code, the argument looks in that field to see if the date falls between today’s date and 12 months from now. If it is not called “start_date” you will need to change the following to whatever your field is called.

    ‘meta_key’ => ‘start_date’,

  • Hi eike,

    You need to set up args that filter the date. I actually have this set and running on my site.

    I set the timezone to my timezone and then set 2 variables, one is set to todays date and the other is set to a year from now.

    <?php 
	//Set server timezone to central
	date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago'); 
	//Today's date
	$date_1 = date('Ymd', strtotime("now")); 
	//Future date - the arg will look between today's date and this future date to see if the post fall within the 2 dates.
	$date_2 = date('Ymd', strtotime("+12 months"));
?>

    Then I set a variable to determine if the post is in the future:

    //arg to determine if the post is an upcoming event.
	$upcoming_args = array(
		'post_type'		=> 'event',
		'posts_per_page'	=> -1,
		'meta_key' => 'start_date',
		'meta_compare' => 'BETWEEN',
		'meta_type' => 'numeric',
		'meta_value' => array($date_1, $date_2),
		'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
		'order' => 'ASC'
	); 
?>

    Set up a new upcoming event query:

    <?php 
	// the upcoming events query
	$upcoming_query = new WP_Query( $upcoming_args ); 
?>

    Then the loop:

    <?php if ( $upcoming_query->have_posts() ) : ?>					
  <!-- the loop -->
  <?php while ( $upcoming_query->have_posts() ) : $upcoming_query->the_post(); ?>
  
  	<!--Your Content-->
  								    
  <?php endwhile; ?>
  <!-- end of the loop -->

  <?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php else:  ?>
  <p><?php _e( 'There are currently no upcoming events, please check back soon.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

    Hope that helps.

  • Ok, I got this to work. My code was actually working, I just was not able to pull in the parameter the way I originally wanted (or thought that I could). What I did was pass the Post ID parameter through the URL and then pull that parameter into my style template. Here is what I did in case it helps anyone in the future:

    I passed the Post ID into the url (I.E. http://www.mysite.com/processform/?postid=1234).

    I added this to my style template:

    <?php 
	$url = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]" ;
	$parts = parse_url($url);
	parse_str($parts['query'], $query);
	$mypostid = $query['postid'];
?>

    and this is how my repeater fields looked:

     <?php if(get_field('choice_menu', $mypostid)): $i = 0;?>
   <?php while(has_sub_field('choice_menu', $mypostid)): $i++;?>     
     <p><?php the_sub_field('choice_name'); ?> : $check<?php echo $i; ?></p>  
   <?php endwhile; ?>	 
 <?php endif; ?>

  • Thanks, Elliot.

    My issue is that I am wanting to create multiple forms but use only one template to style the form, so what I want to do is pass the post id from multiple forms to the one template.

    So lets say I have 5 different forms, when the user hits submit, I need to send the post id of that specific form over the one style template page (I am trying to avoid creating multiple style templates).

    I can easily pull over the post id to the style template but I am not sure how (or if it is possible) to substitute the post id:

    If I have this in the form:
    <input name="Name" type="text" value="<?php the_sub_field('name'); ?>" />
    I then pull in this field in the style template by using:
    $Name

    I can do something similar with the post ID and naming it $post_id, I’m just not sure how (or if) I can then us that in the repeater below to pull in the specific post ID

    <?php if(get_field('choice_menu', '$post_id'));?>
     <?php while(has_sub_field('choice_menu', '$post_id'));?>

    Is it possible? Does that make sense in what I am trying to do?
