Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

1. why doesnt it show the time? I used date and time in rfg field
==>
As you are using the Types PHP API function: types_render_field
- https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/#date

It supports the attribute format where you can set in what format you want to display the date and time. You can chose your desired format:

2. can i compare it to actual date and time -> if it in paste i would remove it
Yes - you can compare it with the PHP function time() and use if condition and convert your existing date value to timestamp and compare it manage it accordingly.

Hi,

the date i can set zu timestamp, but not the parts of array. Is the reason the german date format?

this is date/time right now as timestamp:
$today = date("j. F Y H:i");
$todaytimestamp = strtotime($today);

$one = strtotime($temp[0]);

here ist my funcion again 😉 - i would it only $one and $two as timestamps;

function myownfunc( $atts ) {
    $post_id = $atts['postidmy'];
    $fieldvalues = toolset_get_related_posts( get_the_ID(), "termine-veranst", array( 'query_by_role' => 'parent', 'return' => 'post_object'));
    $today = date("j. F Y H:i");
    $todaytimestamp = strtotime($today);
    $temp = array();
    foreach ($fieldvalues as $fieldvalue) {
    $partone = types_render_field('datum-und-uhrzeit', array('post_id' => $fieldvalue->ID));
    $temp[] = $partone;
    $one = strtotime($temp[0]);
    $two = strtotime($temp[1]);
        }
    return "".implode(" - ",$temp)."<br> --- " .$one." - " . $two . "<br>" . $todaytimestamp;
    }
    add_shortcode( 'datetime', 'myownfunc' );

thx - alex

I do not get what you are saying. Can you please share example whats wrong with the code you shared and whats your expected output?

Hi - sorry,

i mean i cant format the array $temp get formated in timestamp.

if i try to format e.g. $temp[0] to timestamp like: $one = strtotime($temp[0]);

i dont have some output.

Is it possible to format direct in array $temp all dates in timestamp ?

i hope thats clear enough.

thx - alex

[Minesh]

what if you try to use:

$temp[] = strtotime($partone);

Then all the values in array will be stored as timestamp.

this dont work - $temp[] = strtotime($partone);

its empty in:

return "".join(" - ",$temp) ;
