Assign default value to DATE field?

Hi,

We can use the field setting std to add the default value for the date field. Please add this sample code to the file functions.php in the theme folder or use Code Snippets.

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function() {
        $date = new DateTime('+1 day'); // here
        $meta_boxes[] = array(
            'title'      => 'Meta Box Title',
            'post_types' => ['post', 'page'],
            'id' => 'meta-box-id',
            'fields' => array(
                array(
                    'name'       => 'Date picker',
                    'id'         => 'field_id',
                    'type'       => 'date',

                    // Date picker options. See here http://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker
                    'js_options' => array(
                        'dateFormat'      => 'yy-mm-dd',
                        'showButtonPanel' => false,
                    ),

                    // Display inline?
                    'inline' => false,

                    // Save value as timestamp?
                    'timestamp' => false,
                    'std' => $date->format('yy-m-d'), // // use the date format as js_options
                ),
            ),
        );
    
    return $meta_boxes;
} );

Hi,

To run a PHP function in View, please use the proxy mb. The code should be:

mb.strtotime('-1 day')

Hi,

Two curly brackets {{ display a value on the frontend }} is to display a value on the frontend. Please remove it {% if post.date > mb.strtotime('-1 day') %}.

Hi,

As I said in this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/how-to-show-all-posts-for-specific-taxonomy/page/2/#post-21633.

With the custom query, we have to use the variable of the WP_Post object. To get the post date, use post.post_date. For more information, please follow the documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_post/.
