Adding additional event time information

[Stuart’s]

Hi there. I tried searching the forum for something similar but can’t seem to find any so I’m opening a new discussion.

Our events calendar is used to share upcoming performances at our venue. We typically advertise the time that the venue doors open and the time the show actually starts. (Ex: Doors @ 7:00pm | Show @ 8:00pm )and I would like to be able to have it display that way wherever the date/times are displayed for events.

Is there a way to do this? Since the default field entries on the back end only include a spot for event start and end time, does that mean I will have to add it as a custom additional field? If so, how can I make sure it displays where I want it to and not just under the “Other” section.

Thanks

Hi there Stuart,

Thanks for getting in touch with us on this! I can help you here 🙂

Basically there’s no easy way of doing this, and the support we can provide for custom development is fairly low. That said I can point you in the right direction here 🙂

First of all you’ll need to add a custom field (it can be a default WordPress custom field, a PRO additional field or any other type of field) to store the information. Once that’s done you’ll need to show the extra information alongside the default one. To show the schedule of an event (in various place if not all) the calendar relies on this function: tribe_events_event_schedule_details. Hopefully the output of the function is filterable via ‘tribe_events_event_schedule_details_inner’ (and ‘tribe_events_event_schedule_details’ as well), this basically gives you the possibility of altering the function output.

Please let me know if this helps,
Best,
Nico

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
