This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I have a CPT that include 2 dates, one start date, one end-date.
Displaying the output is pretty simple and easy, but I would love to do this :
IF month from start_date is different month from end_date, do something
IF month from start_date is equal month from end_date, do something else
So i think I first need to get the data out of the date fields to be able to compare the month and that is where I am stuck
Solution:
You can use Types shortcode to output the month value of custom date field by setting the "format" attribute, for example:
[types field="start_date" format="m"][/types]
[types field="end_date" format="m"][/types]
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#date
format:
any valid WordPress date format
Then you can use them in the Views shortcode [wpv-conditional] to check if the month values are equal, for example:
[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field="start_date" format="m"][/types]' eq '[types field="end_date" format="m"][/types]' )"] do something [/wpv-conditional] [wpv-conditional if="( '[types field="start_date" format="m"][/types]' eq '[types field="end_date" format="m"][/types]' )" evaluate="false"] do something else [/wpv-conditional]
