Change of Widget Display Format

[woodraf]

Hi!
I want to change default display format of events in sidebar widget (PRO version).

I’m interesting in this kind of format:
Event Name – DD-MM-YYYY (City)

DD-MM-YYYY – is the date of start of event, without start hour (everything in the single line)

What should I fix to make widget visible in this kind of format?

Do you wish to strictly limit this change to the widget, or is this the general format you want to use?

Just widget nothing more.

OK, so if you take a look at our Themer’s Guide you will find instructions on overriding and customizing our templates. In this case, you are probably going to be interested in adapting the widgets/list-widget.php template.

The line responsible for generating the ‘schedule details’ is:

<?php echo tribe_events_event_schedule_details(); ?>

It’s output can be filtered; but since the same function is used from other templates it may be better in this case to simply remove it from widgets/list-widget.php and drop in a replacement function of your own.

Hope that helps!

Where can I found this function and how can I clone it?

[Barry]

The original function definition (if you want to use it as a reference for your own) can be found in public/template-tags/general.php. Hope that helps – and I’ll go ahead and close out this thread. Cheers!
