I did mine by hand, but I had to edit a file in the plugin to get the custom post type to support custom fields. Then I added a custom field called video_url

You can see it in action and look at the source code here

Yeah. I am having a really hard time figuring this out. The shortcode mentioned in th OP is now on this page
There has got to be some way of getting the show times for each day’s productions, but I am really stuck.

Thanks, but I’m a bit confused. The {{dates}} placeholder displays the dates. I already have everything grouped by date. A production can have multiple show times in a single day. The times are what I need access to.

Looking for alternatives.

That would be great if Gutenberg is supported in the next update. Thanks.

Problem went away as mysteriously as it appeared. Oh well.

I can see that the events are loaded with the productions with preload_productions_with_events() and if I put {{events}} into my shortcode template, it will display “Array.” I just can’t figure out how to get into that array.

Maybe I am seriously missing something, but I’m getting ready to write versions of your private methods that will accomplish what we need. Seriously though, I’m feeling like a dork because there has got to be a simpler way.

Oooo! That looks cool. And possibly more “correct,” but I have tried to run “do_shortcode” in a template and it doesn’t seem to work.

Right now I just stuck my above code into the sidebar and it looks pretty good.

Well this works just fine!

function usfrida_wpt_production_events( $post_ID ) {
  $post_type = get_post_type( $post_ID );

  if( $post_type != 'wp_theatre_prod' ) return;

  global $wp_theatre;
  $events = $wp_theatre->events;
  $args = array(
    'production' => $post_ID,
    'start' => 'now',
    'groupby' => 'day',
    'template' => "{{datetime|date('g:i a')}} {{tickets}}"
  );

  $out = '<h3 class="widget-title">SHOWTIMES</h3>';  
  $out .= $events->get_html( $args );
  echo $out;
}

The problem with simply adding “‘show_in_rest’ => true,” to the args for the post type is that the block editor works just fine, but the AJAX for adding the dates gets screwed up and you can’t add events.

Ok, got the code

global $wp_theatre;
$events = $wp_theatre->events;
$args = array( 'groupby' => 'day' );
$out = $events->get_html( $args );

Right?

The date format for the headings, with the leading zeros for day, looks awful. Is there a way to filter that?

… or a way to do the same thing in PHP? I’ve been trying this approach as well, but can’t figure out how to access a production’s dates.

Yes. Gutenberg. They’re calling it the Block Editor as well.
