Adding the event start/end time under the title in the monthly view

[gracesupplies]

Hi, I hope you can help me.

I would like to show the start time and end time e.g. 0800 to 1430, under the text on the monthly calendar, is this possible, what code would I need to put in to make this work, I can then style it to fit etc..

Many thanks.

Hi gracesupplies,

There’s a great guide to getting started with customizations in the form of our Themer’s Guide and, in this case, you are probably going to want to customize month/single-event.php.

Perhaps you could repurpose some of the code from the event tooltip section (in that same template) such as tribe_events_event_schedule_details()?

Hope that helps!

Hi Barry,
Thanks for getting back to me, I did indeed do some more digging and found tribe_events_event_schedule_details(), this did indeed work and was implimented into the single-even.php file, but it unfortunately shows the date as well as the time, I did look deeper into the function of this on line 729 in public/template-tags/general.php, but unfortunately my level of skills stop there and wouldn’t be comfy changing anything to get it to work, by looking in general.php, could I create another fuction which will easily grab the time for the event so it can be shown?

Assuming you’re within the loop (you should be here) you can grab the time only by doing something like:

$time = tribe_get_start_date(null, true, ' ');

Or outwith a loop context you could pass in an explicit post ID (for the event you are interested in):

$time = tribe_get_start_date($post_id, true, ' ');

Noting that the single space string in both the above examples is intentional (and will consequently provide the time according to your WordPress time format setting).

Hope that helps!

Hi,
I’ve had a go with that, but I believe I may be doing something wrong as nothing is showing up, I’ve found a tutorial about this but still no luck. Below is where I am putting the code, could you advise?

if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) ) { die(‘-1’); } ?>

ID}-{$day[‘daynum’]}”;
$start = tribe_get_start_date( $post, FALSE, ‘U’ );
$end = tribe_get_end_date( $post, FALSE, ‘U’ );

?>

<div id="tribe-events-event-” class=””>
<a href="” class=”url”>

<div id="tribe-events-tooltip-” class=”tribe-events-tooltip”>

TIME HERE

That’s not posted right at all, it’s the single-event.php which i’m trying to place it just under the title in time-time

Sharing code directly in the forum is, sadly, doomed to failure until we can implement some changes 🙂 … please share code by linking to it via a service like Pastebin or Gist instead!

I wish to have the date been shown under the title tag of that event.

[Barry]

OK – but you’d need to obtain the start (and end times) using something like the code I provided earlier in the thread and then echo or print it, which you could do with something like:

<?php echo $time ?>

(Assuming you’ve populated $time using something like I suggested above, of course.)

If you’re unfamiliar with PHP and customizing/theming WordPress in general I’d definitely recommend doing some background research on this first of all, as we are unable to implement customizations for you and can really only offer a nudge in the right direction.

Thanks – and good luck!
