Editing time/date values

[Kelly]

Is there a way that I can edit <?php echo tribe_events_event_schedule_details(); ?> in list-widget.php to output: <span>Tues</span> <span>Jan</span> <span>14</span>

I’m hoping to customize its styling, but can’t quite figure out how to apply the docs. Thanks 🙂

Howdy dotwongdotcom,

You are looking in the right place! That last paragraph in the docs is what you want in this case. You would want to add a filter to tribe_events_event_schedule_details, and then you can return whatever styling you want.

Not though the sheer amount of logic associated with tribe_events_event_schedule_details(). There are a lot of possibilities for how a date should be displayed. In your overriding function you might want to account for all the same possibilities. I leave it to you to decide. Within the tribe_events_event_schedule_details() you will see how you can pull the current posts date using functions like tribe_get_start_date(), and then you can format it however you please in your overriding filter.

Does that help? I hope you are able to get it working. Please let me know. Thanks!

Would you be able to start me off? Do I add something like this to the top of list-widget.php so that it doesn’t change the settings site wide?

<?php function tribe_events_event_schedule_details( $event = null ) {
if ( is_numeric( $event ) )
$event = get_post( $event );

$settings = array(
‘same_year_format’ => ‘M j’,
);

}
} return apply_filters( ‘tribe_events_event_schedule_details’, $schedule ); ?>

Like I said in my last comment on the other post, I’m doing my best to do this using common sense. Thanks for your help.

I figured out a way to do it. Unless you have a suggestion for a more efficient way to go about things, this will do the trick 🙂

<?php echo tribe_get_start_date($post->ID, false, “D”); ?>
<?php echo tribe_get_start_date($post->ID, false, “M”); ?>
<?php echo tribe_get_start_date($post->ID, false, “j”); ?>

I will then wrap spans around each one and style them accordingly.

That is a great idea. Since it sounds like you found the proper place to insert or filter those additions, then you are set!
