IMG Custom Post Types: Retreiving custom post types and ordering by a date field

gistfile1.aw

// This will get all posts whose 'event_date' is today or later ordered by closest date

$custom_posts = get_posts(array(
  'meta_compare'  => '>',
  'meta_key'  => 'event_date_strtotime', // <- this is your custom field (see notes below)
  'meta_value'  => strtotime('-1 day'),
  'numberposts'  => 4,
  'order'  => 'ASC',
  'orderby'  => 'meta_value',
  'post_type'  => 'event' // <- this is the name of your custom post type
));


/*
Notes:
! This custom field you will have called 'event_date'. The plugin automatically creates another custom meta field called
your_custom_field_strtotime which stores a timestamp of the date value. You don't need to worry about it
