Change month format in widget

[Joseph]

I’m using the template code to display the mini calendar on a page. I’ve got the CSS just the way I want, but I’d like to change the month format from short form (Mar, Apr) to standard (March, April). Is that possible – if so, how?

Thanks – I’m really digging the calendar and looking forward to using it in more sites.

Best – Joe

Hey Joe. Thanks for the words! This should be doable but I’m not sure how; assume you’ve tried changing the overall WP settings to see if they have any impact? I’ve also asked our dev Jonah – a man more knowledgeable on these issues than I – to comment as well.

I figured it out. First, I copied the files from the plugin Views folder to an Events folder in my theme. Then, I opened the table-mini.php file and changed line 24 from:

monthsShort[date(‘M’,$date)]; echo date(‘ Y’,$date); ?>

to

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

Took a little experimenting, but I’m glad to have sussed it out.

Thanks for the response – I’m sure there will be more later.

Best – Joe

Bingo Joe, glad you figured it out!
