Give category a timecode meta
-
I’m currently creating a site for my student radio station and I need to find a way to add a day & time as meta to each programme category so that it’ll be possible to:
1) Order categories by the day & time.
2) Display the day & time by recalling the meta.
3) Use a function to recognise which programme is currently on air and display all the data attached to it.An example of my current category loop is such (using category description as a way to add an image):
<?php $args=array( 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'ASC' ); $categories=get_categories('child_of=4'); foreach($categories as $category) { echo ' <div class="showboxtitle" style="background:url('. $category->description . ') no-repeat;"> <a href="' . get_category_link( $category->term_id ) . '" class="nct" title="' . sprintf( __( "View all posts in %s" ), $category->name ) . '" ' . '>' . $category->name.'</a> </div>'; } ?>
I’ve checked out the category meta plugin and tried to use the get_terms_meta, but I can’t seem to get even basic text meta to work, let alone specific timecode meta.
Any help or pointers would be fantastic!
Cheers in advance,
Will
