change the Events Pro widget display date

[flyingarts]

Hi Folks – I’m using the Calendar Pro events widget in the sidebar and in other widget areas.
Currently the widget thumbnail date on the left shows the day of the week and then the date underneath.
See the bottom widget in my sidebar here

Is there anyway to set it as is shows the Month and the day and date underneath?
See my mockup here

This would make far more sense in the list view

cheers

Hi Stephen!

Sure, that is quite possible. Here’s how to change the widget from showing the day of the week to showing the abbreviated month instead:

• Make a copy of the widget template. It is located in /plugins/the-events-calendar/widgets/modules/single-event.php
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Make a new folder in that one called widgets
• Make a new folder in that one called modules
• Drop the copied template in that last folder

Now that the template is in your theme, it can be customized to suit your needs. In this case, change this line:

[php]
<span
class="list-dayname"><?php echo apply_filters( ‘tribe-mini_helper_tribe_events_ajax_list_dayname’, date_i18n( ‘D’, $postDate ), $postDate, $mini_cal_event_atts[‘class’] ); ?></span>
[/php]

…to this:

[php]
<span
class="list-dayname"><?php echo apply_filters( ‘tribe-mini_helper_tribe_events_ajax_list_dayname’, date_i18n( ‘M’, $postDate ), $postDate, $mini_cal_event_atts[‘class’] ); ?></span>
[/php]

Does this work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

awesome thanks Geoff – will check it out and see

Also Geoff, another quick question – using your logic above , is it possible to show the featured image thumbnail instead of the date?

[Geoff]

Absolutely! You can modify the template to suit any of your needs now that it is in your theme directory. Plus, this way, your customizations will stay in tact, even after an update to the plugin. 🙂

Keep me posted and let me know if the date format worked out for you.
