SOLVED: Date Formatting Typographically correct for German

[museumelmhorn]

Hi at Tri.be,
I´ve been searching all over the lugin but an´t find the solution: I need to fix the way Dates are shown as well in den Event list on the page as well as in the widget. To be typographically correct I need a – long dash ( —) between the time without any space plus added “Uhr”. I do want to get rid of the @ in front of the Time.

NOW State
3. November 2013 @ 11.00 – 13.00

NEED to BE State:
3. November 2013 von 11.00–13.00 Uhr

thanks for your help

kind regards

Steph

Hi Steph,

So you have a few options here. To try and catch this in both the list view and widget though you might use the tribe_events_event_schedule_details filter hook.

Here’s a slightly rough and ready example of a snippet you could use – it could definitely be polished up a little but might provide a starting point for you.

Thanks!

Hi Barry,
o.k. will start there but where in which file to apply this hook? (Never worked with any hooks before – more a Designer)
and where in the files? beginning? or a specific line?

Aaaaah just found the first file: views/list/content.php in the Events Calendar Basic
and found some others as well it works for the first event but then says:
I pasted it before the first php brackets
atal error: Cannot redeclare customize_tribe_schedule_format() (previously declared in /www/htdocs/w01087b6/elmshorn/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/list/single-event.php:15) in /www/htdocs/w01087b6/elmshorn/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/list/single-event.php on line 19

what means redeclare?

thanks

Steph

Hi Steph, apologies for not being clearer: the theme’s functions.php file, or else the functions.php in a child theme (if appropriate in your case), are acceptable homes for this code.

what means redeclare?

It means you’ve added the same function (a piece of code) twice. Generally speaking you should add it only once.

Does that help?

Hi Barry,
thanks that works great.
It problably was obvious to put it in the functions.php no worth mentioning…
Now the only problem left is in the single-event the Details box where the date with beginning and end are shown. There needs to go an “Uhr” after the time as well

Beginn: 14. November 2013 17.00 Uhr
Ende: 14. November 2013 19.00 Uhr

Have you got a fix for that as well?

thanks so much

Steph
