Default start/end times for community events

[anywherefest]

I am using the snippet provided by Nico to change the start/end times for community events but it isn’t working- can you help?

add_action( ‘tribe_community_events_form_start_time_selector’, ‘comm_default_start_time’, 10, 2 );
function comm_default_start_time( $output, $event_id ) {

if ( !$event_id ) {

$new_time = strtotime( ‘7:30pm’ );

$start_date = tribe_event_format_date( $new_time, true, Tribe__Events__Date_Utils::DBDATETIMEFORMAT );

$start_minutes = Tribe__Events__View_Helpers::getMinuteOptions( $start_date, true );
$start_hours = Tribe__Events__View_Helpers::getHourOptions( $is_all_day == ‘yes’ ? null : $start_date, true );
$start_meridian = Tribe__Events__View_Helpers::getMeridianOptions( $start_date, true );

$output = ”;
$output .= sprintf( ‘<select name=”EventStartHour”>%s</select>’, $start_hours );
$output .= sprintf( ‘<select name=”EventStartMinute”>%s</select>’, $start_minutes );
if ( ! tribe_community_events_use_24hr_format() ) {
$output .= sprintf( ‘<select name=”EventStartMeridian”>%s</select>’, $start_meridian );
}
}

return $output;
}

add_action( ‘tribe_community_events_form_end_time_selector’, ‘comm_default_end_time’, 10, 2 );
function comm_default_end_time( $output, $event_id ) {

if ( !$event_id ) {

$new_time = strtotime( ‘8:30pm’ );

$start_date = tribe_event_format_date( $new_time, true, Tribe__Events__Date_Utils::DBDATETIMEFORMAT );

$start_minutes = Tribe__Events__View_Helpers::getMinuteOptions( $start_date, true );
$start_hours = Tribe__Events__View_Helpers::getHourOptions( $is_all_day == ‘yes’ ? null : $start_date, true );
$start_meridian = Tribe__Events__View_Helpers::getMeridianOptions( $start_date, true );

$output = ”;
$output .= sprintf( ‘<select name=”EventStartHour”>%s</select>’, $start_hours );
$output .= sprintf( ‘<select name=”EventStartMinute”>%s</select>’, $start_minutes );
if ( ! tribe_community_events_use_24hr_format() ) {
$output .= sprintf( ‘<select name=”EventStartMeridian”>%s</select>’, $start_meridian );
}
}

return $output;
}

Hey Alex,

Thanks for contacting us.

This snippet you are trying to implement was written in 2015 and our code base has changed since then. We will review this snippet and get back to you as soon as we have further information!

Let us know if you need anything else in the mean time and have a great weekend!

Hey Alex,

Please add this snippet to your functions.php file:

https://gist.github.com/nefeline/aceabe1f914a0583340396d25c0b2308

This code will update the default time for both The Events Calendar and  Community Events.

Let me know if this works for you or if you need anything else and I’ll be happy to assist!

Regards,

Patricia

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
