Some things with sorting and conditions with ACF posts

Support
#1

Hi,

I set a CPT and fields with ACF to generate a calender and news items from the same posts. When added a featured image and text it is also a news item, without it is only a comming event in the calender.

I can filter the data for latest news items and upcomming events perfectly with those Query strings in the Looper provider:
Latest 3 news items:
post_type=event&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=datum_van&order=dsc&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bkey%5D=datum_van&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D={{dc:global:date format=“Ymd”}}&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bcompare%5D=%3C%3D

and
Upcomming events:
post_type=event&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=datum_van&order=asc&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bkey%5D=datum_van&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D={{dc:global:date format=“Ymd”}}&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bcompare%5D=%3E%3D

As seen here: https://lapauline.nl/wp/
(Laatste nieuws and Volgende events)

In the calender here: https://lapauline.nl/wp/events/
Only the Events in the past or featured image set or content field (verslag-van-event) in ACF, has to link to the single post, others no link.

On the news page, all items are perfect sorted on today and in the past also with
post_type=event&orderby=meta_value&meta_key=datum_van&order=dsc&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bkey%5D=datum_van&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D={{dc:global:date format=“Ymd”}}&meta_query%5B0%5D%5Bcompare%5D=%3C%3D

But when on a single post item, the next and previous post navigation is going thru all posts and the posts in the future or featured image is not set or content field is empty (verslag-van-event) should not be shown with navigating with the next and previous post navigation.

How can I filter on one (or more) of those rules?

And the single posts should be sorted on an ACF date field (datum_tot) and not on publish date.

Can you help me with this please?

THX, Carel
