Hi, I'm working on a website with WooCommerce and YITH Tickets plugins. I'm building custom single product page and shop page with Toolset.

YITH Tickets adds some custom field to WooCommerce like event "start date", "start time" and "Address" conencted to Google Map. I can display some of theme in my view by this shortcodes:

[wpv-post-field name='_start_date_picker']
[wpv-post-field name='_start_time_picker']

I would like to add also some filters based on this fields on my custom search, but Toolset doesn't display them on the Non-Types fields and I also cannot select them when I try to Add a filter or a query filter.

How can I register them on Toolset?

If it is not possible, is it a solution to copy those fields on product_save to some Toolset custom field? How can I do it?

thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - what if you try to check with the Hidden custom fields section?

More info:

Does the above section help you to locate the missing fields you are searching for?

Yes! This solved the main problem, they are there and now I can manage those fields.

I still have some issue.

I can display _start_date_picker filed by this shortcode:

[wpv-post-field name='_start_date_picker']

But it seems I cannot change the date format as I can do with a Toolset Date field. How can I manage it?

I also tested the date filter, I can set it up, I also set date_format to Y-m-d (the current data format of _start_date_picker), but the search result is "No items found". I also try setting the Query filter to "like", but it still doesn't get any result.

Any suggestion?
