I'm building a site using the greenshift plugin. It has a query builder with a meta getter block, which is similar to Toolset's view single field block. The meta getter block can also display Toolset custom fields, but I need to display a date and it can only display dates that are in YYYY-MM-DD format. I tried to use the shortcode, but that doesn't work.

Is there a way to edit the formatting of the custom field itself, like I can with ACF (besides changing the date format in WP settings)?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset stores the custom date field value to postmeta table and the value saved in form of Unix Timestamp.

I checked but I do not able to access the meta getter block as it seems its available with only Pro version.

Maybe you can check with meta getter block author and check with them if they offer any filter hook so you can able to override the block value before it gets rendered.

Hi Minesh,

Yes, meta getter is in a paid addon. I can send you a copy if you want?

Or maybe you guys can reach out to the Greenshift team and exchange licences for eachothers products, I'm sure Igor from Greenshift will be open to that. This way, both your users will benefit.

Yes - Can you please share the copy of that.

Also - can you please check with meta getter author that is there ant hook/filters available to inject the custom field value on fly - this information is important for us to know as if such hooks available we can add-in the custom field value using such hook.

Hi,

How can I sent a copy to you? Can't seem to upload it here?

I've asked Greenshift's support about hooks / filters, waiting for their response.

You can upload it to any file sharing service and send the link to download it like google drive or any other.

But please send me the copy once you get response from Greenshift's support about hooks / filters.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
