Create additional filter option to filter by year

[Allen Cox]

Additional filter option to filter by year for filter shortcode or archive page.

[Rocky Swartz]

Eventually! We have over 350 sermons to filter through. Would be great if we can filter by year or even a from and to date field.

[John Millist]

Agree with this

[Rocky Swartz]

Is there any development on this?

[Allen Cox]

Currently the developer doesn't feel that adding a new "by year" filter is a useful enhancement. Much better filtering of this sort can be accomplished using dynamic AJAX code instead of the native WordPress method which is the method Sermon Manager is sticking to exclusively.

If you disagree with this assessment please provide scenarios where your believe it would needed, helpful and not feasible with AJAX alternatives. Thanks

Thank you for the feedback. Not being a programmer, I am not quite sure what "Ajax" or "native WordPress" involves. I think having a date period filter on a page other than the "Sermon Archive" page will not make sense. When you are trying to find a specific sermon out of 350 sermons, even you you do sub-filters on pastors, is still difficult.

I have noted some php code in your knowledge base = Template Tags":

wpfc_sermon_date( $args, $before = '', $after = '' ) You can use any valid date format. For example:wpfc_sermon_date('l, F j, Y')

I haven't any idea where to use this and what results this will give me. It looked the closest code to querying dates.

Thank you for your assistance
