Change date format in events list widget

[Andrew]

Hi,

I’d like to shorten the date format in the events list widget, as it’s currently too long for the footer column in the site design I’m working with. Can you please explain how I do this, as I see no place to do it in the events-list-load-widget-display.php file (copied to my theme folder).

Thanks, Ab

Sure thing Andrew. That’s a bit outside my area of expertise too, but I’ve got our developer taking a look at this and should be able to get you a response shortly. Stay tuned.

Looking for this function as well.. it used to be clear how to override it.. but now it appears to use the default date format under general settings.

Hey guys, I talked to the developer about this today. Looks like you can pass a date format to tribe_get_start_date to make this happen.

Any chance of a code sample?

[Rob]

Sure, I can see what the dev suggests. Give me a day or so to get a response from him on this.

Hey Wes, sure. Here’s an example:

tribe_get_start_date( get_the_ID(), false, ‘d/m/y’)

This is obviously a very generic example and most likely will need to be changed depending on what exactly you’re aiming to do, but that’s the direction to take.
