I’ve created an account with “Editor” privileges.
Thanks for letting me know if you get it ok.

Ok, I am using the “dots” version now, since this is the correct code. We’ll take it from there.

One thing that I should add is that I actually used Custom Meta Boxes to define Custom Fields withni the Post Type “Agenda”.

I noticed that in the even thought Custom Fields are in the Meta Box, they do not appear on the “Custom Fields Panel” itself. Is this the way this should normally work? Or there’s a hint in that?

Yeah, I’m sure the code with the dots is the good one.

But than, why do I get exactly what I want with the one without dots?
(Meaning custom post types showing by “custom field date”).

When I use the one WITH the dots, I don’t get anything from the query. And I am preatty sure the dates are correctly coded in the custom field, otherwise I shouldn’t get the it right when using the code WITHOUT dots.

I hope I’m not confusing you too much with this.
??

So what else is worthing trying?

By Google-ing my case, I found this:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/3542/custom-taxonomy-template-post-list-with-sort-order

Which is the very exact problem I am having.
I guess he solved it, but the code they are using in there looks much more complicated to get posts ordered by “custom filed date”.

Any thought on that?

Thanks for the interest, vtxizzy!

I used the code from this tutorial here:
https://www.problogdesign.com/wordpress/how-to-make-a-wordpress-events-list/

Now, whne I tried this:

<?php
$todaysDate = date('d/m/Y');// Get today's date in the right format
$agendaloop = new WP_Query('post_type=agenda&posts_per_page=10&meta_key=_date&meta_compare=>=&meta_value=' . $todaysDate . '&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC');
?>

… no post are showing!
If don’t use the dot before the $todaysDate at least the posts shows in the index page and get listed as intended.
If that is what you meant.

If I delete the “orderby” I get the same result: all posts shows instead of just the one with the taxonomy term.

I wouldn’t know another method how to sort posts by date (custom field) instead than default “publish date”.

Mmm…

Thanks, Scribu!
That was it! jQuery version. I was linking to 1.3.2. Updated now to 1.4.2.

It works fine now. Great plugin, very helpful!
Cheers to you.

Hi Scribu, thanks for the interest.

I get this error:

Error:f.proxy is not a function

Line 1 of the editor.js file

Any hint?

I deactivated all plugins and it’s not working.
Yes, I got the wp_footer hook in the footer.php

Tested on Safari and FF.
Nothing.

Ipstenu, I am afraid I wasn’t clear enough.

I have a Featured panel and a News panel, on the same page (homepage).

The News loop is set to display 4 last news (shoposts=4).

In the admin I can select a post to be the Featured article (with custom fields).

Now, if I select the a post that is in the News as “featured” I get 3 News in the panel and not 4 anymore. Like if the News loop counts 3 posts + the one in the Futured query.

I know how to exclude posts from a category. It just doesn’t help me here.

The category (News) may be the same for the two loops. So I can’t exclude it, right?

If I select a post from the Blog category as featured, of course, I get 4 News in the News panel. If instead I select a post from the News category as featured, then the News panel displays 3 news. The News query count the News in the Featured panel, even if in a different query.

That is not logical to me. Or am I missing something?

I can’t believe nobody can figure this out.

Yeah, something went wrong with the paragraph right under the code, but you get the meaning, right?

Hi!

Since I’ve been very sensible to the auto formatting problem (I couldn’t believe that one huge problem with WP could be about what is primarly meant for: writing), here is one thing I am going to try:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/ps-disable-auto-formatting/

This plugin shoul ddisable the annoying auto fromatting.

I say “should”, because I just gave it a look, and it seems to do the job.

I was actually running the Dean’s FCKEditor plugin as well, but it bothers me because of the different look whith the rest of the interface (oh, these designers!!!).

Anyway, let me know what you think about the plugin. it could really be the missing option that WP doesn’t seem to give us.
