Did you ever get this working? I am looking to figure out how to display a list of records using the summarize posts widget – I am also trying to figure out how to do some custom date formatting as well.
I had to figure it out on my own, but did get it to work.
Here’s a link to the info that explained custom date formatting using the widget:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/formatting-date-using-summarize-posts-widget
But in the end I wrote PHP and inserted it with the “PHP Code Widget”..
Never heard back if that’s a preferred solution..
<?php
/* GET ARRAY OF UPCOMING SHOWS */
$Q = new GetPostsQuery();
$args = array();
$args['post_type'] = 'shows';
$args['date_column'] = 'show_date';
$args['date_min']['>'] = date('Y-m-d');
$args['orderby'] = 'show_date';
$args['order'] = 'ASC';
$args['limit'] = 5;
$results = $Q->get_posts($args);
// print $Q->debug();
?>
<ul class="list-shows">
<?php
foreach ($results as $Q) {
$show_date = strtotime($Q['show_date']);
$show_date_formatted = date("F jS, Y", $show_date);
print '<li><a href="'. $Q['permalink'] . '">'. $Q['post_title'] .'</a><br/>';
print $show_date_formatted . '</li>';
}
?>
</ul>
<a href="/upcoming-shows">more .. </a>
I will give that a whirl and see how it goes. Thanks for posting that.
I also figured out through some digging that I can use this shortcode with an output filter and get the date formatted the way that I wanted it.
[+post_date:datef==n/j/Y g:i a+]
My only problem now is that it displays like this:
8/31/2015 5
everything after the g is missing.. I have determined it has something to do with the :. If I remove the colon it displays correct with the exception of it is missing the colon. I have shut off all plugins except cctm and I have switched themes. In all cases it does not like that colon in there. So just to get by for now I am forced to use a semicolon.
[+post_date:datef==n/j/Y g:i a+]
8/31/2015 5;22 pm
Weird.
