Custom loop

Resolved

(@charafweb)

Hi,

I have this filter on my theme functions.php . As you can see, this loops through posts and displays only posts that have a custom field called calendar_date filled with a date >= today date. So that, we display only upcoming events.

How can we do the same thing with Swift theme ?

function my_events_ie($query) {

  if (!is_admin() && is_singular() && $query->is_main_query()) {

    $query->set('posts_per_page', -1);
    $query->set('no_found_rows', true);
    $query->set( 'meta_key', 'calendar_date' );
    $query->set( 'order', 'ASC');
    $query->set( 'meta_query', array(
        array(
            'key'     => 'calendar_date',
            'compare' => '>=',
            'value'   => current_time('Y-m-d'),
            'type'    => 'DATE',
        )
    ) );
 }

  //return $query;

}

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'my_events_ie');

okay, where exactly do you want the loop output to be displayed?

I want the loop output to be displayed into homepage.

I did a mistake here :

if (!is_admin() && is_singular() && $query->is_main_query())

I think it should be :

if (!is_admin() && is_home() && $query->is_main_query())

Thanks you very much

When I said “Where”, I mean where in the frontend.

You can use the amp_loop for it: https://ampforwp.com/tutorials/article/loop/

Hi @ahmedkaludi

I know you are so busy, so thank you for giving me some of your time to help on this.

I read the tuto (https://ampforwp.com/tutorials/article/loop/), but I can’t figure what & how to do it ! How to pass custom $args to the loop for instance ? Or how to set new values ($query->set) ?

Would you please elaborate on how and what to add to the functions.php ?

Is it possible to make a full example, so it can be as reference to other people looking to achieve the same thing ? Let’s say we want to create a widget that will display only upcoming events based on a date stored into a meta field. How to achieve this? I did google about this but I can’t found anything.

Thank you again

I want to give you solution, but before I do that, I have one doubt which needs to be cleared.

Where exactly do you want the loop output to be displayed?, “When I said “Where”, I mean where in the frontend.

Hi @ahmedkaludi ,

In homepage, between the header and footer, as main content, inside content-wrapper div 🙂

Thank you

Thanks for the detailed information. We have a filter ampforwp_query_args. From which you can modify the loop query on any pages.
And that is available in accelerated-mobile-pages/components/loop/loop.php line no: 222
https://github.com/ahmedkaludi/accelerated-mobile-pages/blob/master/components/loop/loop.php#L222

I think you can use this code to achieve the result you want:

add_filter(‘ampforwp_query_args’, ‘custom_function’);
function custom_function($q){

if ( function_exists(‘ampforwp_is_home’) && ampforwp_is_home() ) {
$q[‘meta_query’] = array(
array(
‘key’ => ‘calendar_date’,
‘compare’ => ‘>=’,
‘value’ => current_time(‘Y-m-d’),
‘type’ => ‘DATE’,
),
);
}

return $q;
}
