Hi,
I am displaying both past and future posts on our site and I’d like to add an extra class to the $post_class on line 443 of /config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/postslider/postslider.php if the date of the post is in the past.
$post_class = "post-entry post-entry-{$the_id} slide-entry-overview slide-loop-{$post_loop_count} slide-parity-{$parity} {$last}";I’ve tried pulling the date using this within the foreach ($this->entries->posts as $entry) {
$postdate = get_the_date( “Y-m-d”, $post_id );
echo “Post ID ” . $the_id . ” was posted on ” . $postdate . “<br>”;It shows the ID’s of the posts but the date is the always the first posts date.
Bit confused. Anyone had any luck with this?
Hey DigitalEssence,
You should be using the $the_id there too, not the $post_id, like this
$postdate = get_the_date( “Y-m-d”, $the_id ); echo “Post ID ” . $the_id . ” was posted on ” . $postdate . “<br>”;If you need further assistance please let us know.
Best regards,

Doh!
That’s perfect thanks. I can now change the look of past events in the post slider.
Please mark this as resolved and big thanks for your help.
For anyone else who is interested in how I have achieved this and/or can see a better way of doing it.
I’ve added the following to postslider.php
// Detect if post is in the past and if so add a custom Class "oldpost" if (strtotime(get_the_date( "Y-m-d", $the_id )) < strtotime(date("Y-m-d"))) { $post_class = "post-entry post-entry-{$the_id} oldpost slide-entry-overview slide-loop-{$post_loop_count} slide-parity-{$parity} {$last}"; } else { $post_class = "post-entry post-entry-{$the_id} slide-entry-overview slide-loop-{$post_loop_count} slide-parity-{$parity} {$last}"; }I then uploaded postslider.php to child-theme/shortcodes/ (thanks @Guenni007) and added the following to my functions.php file
// Enable shortcodes to be loaded from child theme - used for postslider.php edits add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1); function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths) { $template_url = get_stylesheet_directory(); array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/'); return $paths; }by the way – you don’t need to hold the tree structure after /shortcodes
so you can put in all edited ALB to the shortcodes folder itself – no need for subfolders.
