I got it working.

So this usage is UTC which is 6 hours ahead of central time. If I want this to work off the WordPress time setting, I have to be using the test_datetime_timestamp_timezone and have php 5.3 or above correct? Otherwise I have to set the date/time picker 6 hours ahead?

I can get it to display based on start date/time, but when I set the end date/time it still displays. I know I am doing something wrong. Thought I would post my code.

Almost, here is my code for displaying multiple meta boxes – http://pastebin.com/HDwafuiq. When it loads on the page, the dates are defaulting to the date specified from “test_metabox”. That is the first one in my functions file which controls something else I am using. I thought by having a different meta_box ‘id’, that it wouldn’t conflict.

EDIT – Just change the ‘id’ after the $prefix correct?

Ok, I removed the code I pulled from github. Installed the plugin through ww.wp.xz.cn. Added the necessary code to my functions file – http://pastebin.com/G842fGt4

Then my args, and query are this – http://pastebin.com/3h50X0Pj

I tested a page with the date of today and set at 6:00pm and it displayed. I changed the time to this morning, and it displayed the next event. So its working so far at the minimal usage.

Do you see anything that I should change? In the meta_query array is “type” used correctly or even necessary? I removed it and it worked. I was getting help from another person and between them and I, I have tried so many combinations of code to make this work correctly.

One other usage I would like to use your custom meta on the same pages would be to display a string of text with a link (in my header) based off a date and time period from say sat jan 3rd 7:00am to sunday jan 4th 6:00pm. Is that possible using your meta plugin having specific parameters like that? So you can understand exact reasoning its because we have a live audio broadcast during the days of the event. And a link would automatically appear when those date and times hit. And its just a cool little bonus to have automated. People come to my site looking for the “live broadcast”. And I would have it right in their face. See image (look at top left of header). http://imgur.com/uqfBpv0

Here is a link to all the code in my template for displaying the title of the Page using the meta. http://pastebin.com/9kqwdNTD

Here is the code in my functions file for the meta type.

When I changed the code to this (changed the compare to greater than equal to)

<?php
                $args = array(
		    'post_type' => array( 'page' ),
		    'order' => 'DESC',
		    'orderby' => 'meta_value_num', 'time()', // Numeric sort.
		    'posts_per_page' => 1,
		    'meta_query' => array(
		        array(
		            'key' => '_cmb_test_textdate_timestamp',
		            'compare' => '>=',
		            'value' => time(), // Current timestamp.

		        ),
		    ),
		);

                $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
                ?>

It stops showing the current event when its already on the date vs the end of the day. And it wont show the next date unless its 48 hours roughly from the current date. So if you had events back to back days it wont show the next event, it would skip right over.

Seems to be theme related to Underscore _s theme.
