Using custom_field to order the dates instead of post date

  • Basically i’m using a theme that has an events custom post, but it has a load of custom fields for the start date and end date called _risen_event_start_date and _risen_event_end_date respectively.

    Could someone help me sort the order this sorts by to be this information instead of the post date itself? I have tried amending this area below but it does nothing:

    $args = array ('scope'=>array(date("Y-m-d", $_REQUEST['start']), date("Y-m-d", $_REQUEST['end'])), 'owner'=>false, 'status'=>1, 'order'=>'ASC', 'orderby'=>'post_date');

    Is there something i’ve missed at all? Any help would be great ??

    Thanks in advance.

    Chris

  • You should work on the query itself.

    There is a Time Filter (wpfc_temp_filter_where) used for the events Loop.
    So you can modify it to customize the query with your own dates from your custom fields (beware of Dates Formatting).

    The scope in $args is used to display the events into the calendar requested dated (e.g December 1st to December 31).
