Event Date

[Tim Parker]

I’m hoping there might be a way to do this without a bunch of custom coding. I’m using the plugin with Essential Grid. I was able to pull in _EventStartDate but the output isn’t user friendly. I would like July 1, 2016, for example. Is there a way to format the output of the meta?

Thanks

Hey Tim,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Would you mind showing the code used to bring in the event start date? We have functions that you can use that allow you to display it based on the settings you have within the Events Settings > Display tab.

However, depending on the functions used, you can format it in the same location where you’re calling the content. I can give you an exact replacement here to get what you’re looking for if I can see the existing approach.

Thanks!

Hey Josh

Thanks for the help. Here’s the dev page: http://events.mybayside.church/essential/

Essential Grid allows you to specify a custom meta and pull it in so I didn’t code anything.

Also, I included the settings below. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey Tim,

If that’s the case, it is most likely just grabbing the raw value. Unfortunately this makes it more difficult for us to modify the output if this is all managed via settings within their plugin.

You can try reaching out to the team at Essential Grid and see if they have any filters in place that would allow you to target the output of the meta that is pulled in. If so, we would be able to modify that value and format at using those filters.

Let me know what you find.

Thanks!
