All Day Event Problems

[Jason]

In your FAQ’s you describe how to check for “All Day Events” and change the display in the template accordingly

I use the following date format: $event_date = date(‘F j, Y, g:i a’,strtotime($e->EventStartDate));. But I want “All Day” events formatted in such a way that they don’t show as starting at 12 am. Is it possible to form an if statement to check for all day events?
It is. This code should allow you to check whether it’s an all-day event in the loop: if (get_post_meta($e->ID, 'EventAllDay', true) == 'yes') { // do something.

However that statement is wrong. The function returns a boolean value, so it will never evaluate to “yes”. Also, the function is broken. It returns bool(false) no matter which way the “All Day Event” box is checked in the event entry screen.

ID, 'EventAllDay', true)); ?> can be viewed in the left sidebar here :

Contact me directly at [email protected] and I can provide you with an administrative login to the wordpress installation so you can toggle the checkbox for yourself.

Thanks for noting this one, Jason – my guess is we wrote that before changing the code base and the FAQ never got updated. Let me double check with Jonah on this and we’ll update the FAQ entry accordingly from there. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Jason, you should be able to just use: tribe_get_all_day() which will return true if the event is an all day event. I will update the FAQ accordingly. Thanks for pointing this out.

this works, thanks!

Thanks for confirming, Jason. Glad to see we were able to get that taken care of. Let us know what else we can do.
