Date Range

#26009

Hey Kostas

I added in the functionality to compare between 2 date fields for start/end – however I overlooked this kind of setup – I had another user I was working with on this mention it too, that she requires the same functionality you describe – so I’m looking to add it in soon.

Most of the hard work has been done by allowing a second meta key to be used for the end date – its now getting this query just right.

Thanks

Ok, thanks Ross, I’m waiting for this feature.

I’m also looking for this feature but with ‘date range’ or ‘individual days’. I have made a lot of pages with this feature. For performances, classes, theater… many times are date range (all days) but other times are certain days.

Then I have ACF with:

– Date range: ‘start date’ and ‘end date’
– Individual days: repeater with ‘days’

And a radio button to select between ‘date range’ or ‘individual days’.

And I’m using this SQL query:

....
     (
        ( $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'date_start' AND CAST($wpdb->postmeta.meta_value AS DATE) BETWEEN '".$date_start."' AND '".$date_end."' ) 
        OR ( $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'date_end' AND CAST($wpdb->postmeta.meta_value AS DATE) BETWEEN '".$date_start."' AND '".$date_end."' ) 
     )           
     OR ( 
        ( $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'date_start' AND CAST($wpdb->postmeta.meta_value AS DATE) <= '".$date_start."' ) 
          AND 
        ( mt1.meta_key = 'date_start' AND CAST(mt1.meta_value AS DATE) >= '".$date_end."' ) 
     )
     OR ( $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key LIKE 'individual_days_%_day' AND CAST($wpdb->postmeta.meta_value AS DATE) BETWEEN '".$date_start."' AND '".$date_end."' ) 
     )";

Hey Kostas

Please try the update I just sent 🙂

There is a new compare option for your range fields.

Let me know if it makes sense, or you have any suggestions as to the wording of this new option (I think its a little confusing).

Thanks
