Filtering by start date with post-meta (Events Manager integration)

Hi Trevor,

Awhile ago I asked you about how to sort Events Manager events by date using post-meta. The problem was that EM saves their dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD, and not YYYYMMDD which Search & Filter requires. You recommended creating a dummy field and inputting the dates in the YYYYMMDD format. I have done this and the date range filtering with post-meta works.

Now my client would like to filter just by entering a start date — I cannot get this to work using the post-meta date as there seems to be only an “equal to” function and no “equal to or greater than” function.

Can you think of a way to get future dates to appear by just entering a start date?

Thanks in advance.

Jean

When hitting the reset button, does it use Ajax to refresh the page? If so, I can give you a script to get around that, like this:

<script>(function ( $ ) {
  "use strict";
  $(document).on("sf:ajaxfinish", ".searchandfilter", function(){
// so load your scripts/function here again
  });
}(jQuery));</script>
