Custom Views based on Additional Fields?

[mnussbaum]

Is it possible to create views based on additional fields? We’ve created fields called “On Sale Date” and “On Sale Time” for events that the tickets are not yet on sale for. Is it possible to show a list view of all events whose “On Sale Date” are the current date and all dates in the future?

Hi @mnussbaum,

Creating custom views like is indeed possible, but only with extensive custom coding.

We cannot help with custom coding at all, unfortunately.

So to implement the features you describe, you would have to write that custom code on your own, or hire a professional developer to write the code for you. We have a list of great developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and have no affiliation with any of these folks–they’re simple some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

Sorry to disappoint!

Let me know if there’s anything else I can try to help with.

Sincerely,
George

I figured it would require custom coding, which is fine. Is there anything in the forums or knowledgebase that relates to accessing and manipulating the Additional Fields that you can point me toward to aid in creating the custom code?

Hey @mnussbaum,

Thank you for your understanding of our policies and such. I’m still happy to try and helpful resources, of course, so I will try to do that here.

We don’t have much information that is specifically about additional fields, but one resource that is always worth starting at when making custom code for The Events Calendar or its add-ons is our Themer’s Guide → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

That’s a handy resource for figuring out where and how to add your customizations within context of The Events Calendar specifically.

To learn more about custom fields directly, and learn all of the API functions used for adding them, removing them, updating them, etc., I would recommend checking out this “parent” page on the WordPress Codex and then checking out all of the “sub” pages it links to throughout its content → https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields

These are the best resources I can think of—I hope they are helpful and I wish you the best of luck with your customizations.

Cheers!
George
