Displaying Recurrence Rule's start time

[John]

Hello,

We have changed several templates which are using tribe_get_start_time to get the start time of events. It seems that events that have a custom recurrence rule set don’t pull in the start time. Events without a recurrence rule set and a normal start time set (one day/one time event) have no issues.

Is there different code to pull the start time when there’s a recurrence rule?

Thanks!

Hi David,

Good question! Yes, you should be able to retrieve all of the start dates and times for a recurring events using tribe_get_recurrence_start_dates().

Let me know if that helps do the trick!

Cheers,
Geoff

Geoff,

That gets me part of the way there. I need to only pull the time for that specific occurrence though. I’m unsure how I could track that was the XXth occurrence and use that to get the correct time from the array.

Thanks!

Hey David,

In testing this a little further, it looks like tribe_get_start_time does work with recurring instances, at least right out of the box. You should be able to use that and grab the correct time by supplying the event ID.

Have you made some other customizations that might be interfering? I can’t guarantee I can fix it, but I’d be happy to take a look if you want to share a more complete sample of your code.

Thanks!
Geoff
