custom field help

Hi @aaron19888,
You will find the meta key of your field in the field editor. Please take this meta key and use get_post_meta(EVENT_ID,'_KEY_FROM_FIELD_EDITOR',true);

I hope this helps.
Thank you

Hi,

Thanks, do i need to change the EVENT_ID ? to anything?

As this is how i have it inside my single file.

<div class="wpem-event-date-time" >
	            <span class="wpem-event-date-time-text" itemprop="startDate" content="<?php echo $start_date;?>"><?php display_event_start_date();?> <?php if(get_event_start_time()){ display_date_time_separator(); ?> <?php display_event_start_time(); }?></span>
	            <br/>
	            <span class="wpem-event-date-time-text" itemprop="endDate" content="<?php echo $end_date;?>">
	            <?php if( get_event_start_date() != get_event_end_date() ) {  display_event_end_date(); } ?>
	            <?php if(get_event_end_time()){ display_date_time_separator() ?> <?php display_event_end_time(); } ?>
<?php get_post_meta(EVENT_ID,'_start_event_date',true); ?>
	            </span>
            </div>

Is what my field is but it does not seem to be showing when added i went into an event and added it as and the field is a Date field?

Hi @aaron19888,

Please replace the EVENT_ID with get_the_ID().

<div class="wpem-event-date-time" >
	            <span class="wpem-event-date-time-text" itemprop="startDate" content="<?php echo $start_date;?>"><?php display_event_start_date();?> <?php if(get_event_start_time()){ display_date_time_separator(); ?> <?php display_event_start_time(); }?></span>
	            <br/>
	            <span class="wpem-event-date-time-text" itemprop="endDate" content="<?php echo $end_date;?>">
	            <?php if( get_event_start_date() != get_event_end_date() ) {  display_event_end_date(); } ?>
	            <?php if(get_event_end_time()){ display_date_time_separator() ?> <?php display_event_end_time(); } ?>
<?php get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'_start_event_date',true); ?>
	            </span>
            </div>

I am not sure if there is already an event start date and event end date in the template file why you want to add again?

Make sure that you are adding the correct value.
Thank you

Hi,

Basically have an event ?? but we 2 dates so:

9th May 10:00 – 18:00
10th May 10:00 – 18:00

So same event but finishes a different time on 10th so only way i could see this working was adding an extra date and time field, then add to the template file.

to show this. Also for some reason the field is still not showing ??

           <div class="wpem-event-date-time" >
	            <span class="wpem-event-date-time-text" itemprop="startDate" content="<?php echo $start_date;?>"><?php display_event_start_date();?> <?php if(get_event_start_time()){ display_date_time_separator(); ?> <?php display_event_start_time(); }?></span>
	            <br/>
	            <span class="wpem-event-date-time-text" itemprop="endDate" content="<?php echo $end_date;?>">
	            <?php if( get_event_start_date() != get_event_end_date() ) {  display_event_end_date(); } ?>
	            <?php if(get_event_end_time()){ display_date_time_separator() ?> <?php display_event_end_time(); } ?>
				
				<?php get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'_start',true); ?>
				
	            </span>
            </div>

Just checked the event and it does have the start date i changed the field name just incase was conflicting tried different browsers also.

Thanks

Hi @aaron19888,

Please create a support ticket here

Thank you

Hi @aaron19888,

You just need to update the one line in above code
<?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(),'_start',true); ?>

This will print the value without echo it won’t print anything.

Thank you

Oops i feel such a plonky now lol ??

If i do _start can i use this same code:

<span class="wpem-event-date-time-text" itemprop="endDate" content="<?php echo $_date;?>">
	            <?php if( get_event_start_date() != get_event_end_date() ) {  display_event_end_date(); } ?>
	            <?php if(get_event_end_time()){ display_date_time_separator() ?> <?php display_event_end_time(); } ?>
	            </span>

but change to use _start etc? so it displays like:

Saturday, May 9, 2020 ?

Thanks

Also another thing how come the original code is displaying like this: Saturday, May 9, 2020 @ 10:00
@ 18:00 instead of : Saturday, May 9, 2020 @ 10:00 – 18:00 ?

Thanks
