    Hi,

    Actually I am using this plugin as Place + Event and I have added a custom field for event date and I am sorting posts according to event date that are current or upcoming. I have created custom query for that and that is working fine. I want to integrate that meta query for the search result as well as the search widget on top works on all post generally which I want to change and I want to search from the posts that are yet to come according to my custom field.

    How can I add that extra query for search widget, please help.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey Paolo, thanks for the reply.
    I installed an add-on but that is for importing snazzymap designs.

    I want to add a meta query with the default search query of GD Search widget. So can you please let me know the responsible file for GD Search widhet ?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,

    I am not sure why you added a custom field for event date when events addon has this already? I am also not sure if you mean you added a GD custom field or a meta value? We use the standard WP queries and hook into and edit them. If i understood more what you are trying to do i might be able to help more ??

    Thanks,

    Hey Stiofan,

    My client doesn’t want to spend $45 on an add on and we have purchase snazzy map add on already.

    Well, we just have to sort posts from gd_place post type on the custom field of date (added through ACF plugin). So the posts suppose to be sorted on that custom date and not on published date.

    I have created meta query for this already but I do not know where to add this so I can get sorted day. It will work in a way like, today is 29th April so the search will not consider posts which have custom date older than 29th April.

    I hope this will give you a better idea.

    Thank you.

    this may help you to understand…

    I just have to implement this login in search query. So the search widget of the plugin will have to search on limited posts only.

    This goes beyond the scope of support, this is custom development which we don’t do. I would suggest if you want to do things this way that you use our hooks to disable all our query edits for that post type and then figure out how to do it with ACF and your meta info.

    Thanks,

    Stiofan
