Calendar Widget – change month format

[Anderson]

Greetings — Currently my calendar widget displays month as “M” format – June is “Jun”. I would like month names to be in “F” format as “June”. I have copied “table-mini.php” into my theme’s “events” directory but when I go to line 24 and change the ‘M’ to ‘F’ in monthsShort[date('M',$date)]; echo date(' Y',$date); ?> the month name disappears entirely. How can I change this?

Also, a recent topic discussed the issue of navigating between months. It was mentioned that this would be addressed in an upcoming release. Will this capability be available this summer? Thanks

Hello Krysia, I have asked Jonah to look at this for you. However, another user had the same question, and he was able to get it working, would this help? https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/using-full-month-name-for-title-on-table-mini-php/

Yes, that topic had the answer, which is that not only do you have to change ‘M’ to ‘F’ but you also have to change ‘monthsShort’ to ‘monthsFull’. Below is the complete code (line 24 in “table.mini.php”, copied from the original into your theme “events” directory.

monthsFull[date('F',$date)]; echo date(' Y',$date); ?>

Hi Krysia, this is out of my range of expertise, but let’s see what Jonah has to say about it. Sorry you’re having this issue.

Hi Krysia,

Try changing this to:

echo $tribe_ecp->monthsFull[date('F',$date)];

…in your modified copy of table-mini.php

I hope that helps,
– Jonah
