When active, the Timeline Express – Date – Time Add-On will hide the default announcement date field, and generate a date and time field for you to use.
Multiple announcements that have the same date & time will fallback to use the published date to dictate order on the timeline.
Developers
Filters: timeline_express_date_time_formats – Add your own date formats to the announcement.
Example:
/** * Assign a custom date format to the announcements. * * @param array $date_formats The original date formats array. */ function timeline_express_demo_custom_date_format( $date_formats ) { $date_formats['custom'] = 'Y-m-d'; // eg: 2018-10-02 } add_filter( 'timeline_express_date_time_formats', 'timeline_express_demo_custom_date_format' );timeline_express_date_time_query_args – Filter the query run for the date time add-on.
Example:
/** * Filter the announcement date time add-on query. * Fall back to post titles instead of published date when announcements contain the same date-time values. * * @param array $query_args The original date time add-on query arguments. */ function timeline_express_demo_filter_query_args( $query_args ) { unset( $query_args['orderby'] ); $query_args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num title'; return $query_args; } add_filter( 'timeline_express_date_time_query_args', 'timeline_express_demo_filter_query_args' );
