Yes Snails, that is possible. It would require rewriting some of the query, particularly replacing the parts that use post_date to use whatever custom field you create.

Hi Tony
I’ve been looking for something similar to this. Would it be possible to use a custom field to store the date of an event, and then use something similar to show future posts but using the date that is stored in the custom field??
So in other words, query a custom field (or multiple fields) instead of ‘future posts’.
Thanks

James, You’re welcome.

I always try to add bits of code that I find useful.

Shoot , the code disappeared (as a suspected it might).

I left out the php tags, but here’s how you query future posts:

query_posts(‘post_status=future&showposts=-1&order=ASC’);

(Using “-1″ shows all posts.)

James,
It’s pretty simple. You just start the loop with a future post query:

Ahh I did not see you can set the publish date into the future when editing a post. So if it’s an event you just set the post to the date of the event. Very sneaky :p And now I see in the database the post-status field is ‘future’

So the post will not show up in the blog till that date. Any idea on how to get the best of both worlds? So the post can be set as future AND show up in the blog prior to the event. Guessing there would need to be a custom solution similar to the SQL statements you created. Thanks for this great post!!

Great post!! Excellent addition to wp!

Can you please detail how to added ‘Future’ as a Publish status option when creating / editing a post in wp-admin? Thanks!
