Dynamic Countdown with ACF and Elementor

This is a simple plugin that fixes one of the main issues with the Elementor Countdown Widget; the inability to dynamically set the due date with an ACF Field. The plugin takes an ACF datetime field and makes it the due date for the Elementor Countdown Widget. How to use: Create a Date Time Picker field in ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) Make sure the output of the datetime field is set to: Y-m-d H:i:s (it’s the last option before “Custom”) Copy the Field Name of the field you just created. Paste the Field Name of the field you just created into the input in the DCEA Settings Page. Click on “Save Changes”. Add an Elementor Countdown Widget to your page. The due date is now set from the ACF Field instead of the option in the Elementor Builder interface. Note: This plugin only affects the rendering of the countdown widget on the front end. It does not add dynamic date support to the countdown widget in the Elementor builder interface.

Pilo'Press

Pilo’Press is a framework plugin for WordPress. Based on ACF and ACF Extended, it allows you to create layouts among other things and use the Flexible Content field as a page builder. Pilo’Press uses Tailwind CSS for style templating which can be setup and build directly from the back-office. Please note that Tailwind CSS is not mandatory, you can choose to use it or not. Requirements This plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields PRO and Advanced Custom Fields: Extended plugins in order to work correctly. Getting started Activate Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin Activate ACF Extended plugin Activate Pilo’Press plugin In your theme, create a pilopress folder Within the pilopress folder, create layouts subfolder Within the pilopress folder, create assets subfolder In the index.php file, add the following code: Styles, when you click on “Update & Compile”, TailwindCSS will be compiled remotely using TailwindAPI. Minified CSS files are then created under /pilopress/assets/styles.min.css and /pilopress/assets/styles-admin.min.css. You can manually enqueue those files in your theme for the front-end & the back-end, but we recommend to use automatic enqueue code above. It is possible to manually retrieve the Tailwind PostCSS & JS fields of the administration if you want to build TailwindCSS locally. To do so, you can use the following code: $tailwind_css = get_field( 'pip_tailwind_style', 'pip_styles_tailwind' ); $tailwind_config = get_field( 'pip_tailwind_config', 'pip_styles_tailwind' ); For more details, see Tailwind CSS Documentation. Customizing style To customize default Tailwind CSS styles, go to Pilo'Press > Styles from left navigation menu or top bar menu. For more details about customization, see Github Page. Add new layout In the admin menu Pilo'Press > Layouts, add a new layout Configure the layouts fields Create PHP, CSS and JS files in your theme layout folder /your-theme/pilopress/layouts/your-layout You have to name those files the same way you did in back-office settings Note: only PHP template file is require. Templating To display the content of your post, you have to use the following function: // Pilo'Press content (doesn't need 'echo') the_pip_content(); // Pilo'Press content (needs 'echo') echo get_pip_content(); Components See GitHub Page for complete example. Hooks Available hooks are list and describe in GitHub Page
