Not work the get_field

Hi Loukas,

This plugin has no feature to display anything on the front-end. Furthermore, the code you provided just stores the content of the field in a $rrule variable so it would not display anything anyway.

I see you’re naming your field start_date so I’m assuming you want to show a single date. In that case this plugin would not make sense and you should use a single date field. Maybe with a bit more context I could try to help you?

Cheers,
Marc

Hi,

Ok I just wanted to make sure you were on the right track. If you want to create recurring events then this plugin should be what you need but keep in mind that this plugin just provides the field to store the RRULE string in database and retrieve the individual dates. It does not display anything.

If you want to show every single date then you will have to loop through the dates like this (assuming your field is named start_date):

<?php $rrule = get_field('start_date'); ?>

<ul>
    <?php foreach ($rrule['dates_collection'] as $date) : ?>
        <li><?= $date->format('Y-m-d') ?></li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

For more information about the attributes that are returned by the RRule field you can check the readme from the GitHub repository.

What do you mean the entire date? If you want to show the first and last occurrences you can use the first_date and last_date attributes.

<?php 
$rrule = get_field('start_date'); 

if ($rrule['last_date']) {
    $string = "From {$rrule['first_date']} to {$rrule['last_date']}";
} else {
    $string = "From {$rrule['first_date']}";
}
?>

You can also use the text attribute that retrieves a human-readable representation of the recurrence like “Every monday starting July 1st”.

There is no built-in function to do what you want but it is definitely something you can implement yourself.

I wrote an “advanced usage” guide to show an example of how you can create an agenda view here.
