Filterbar: Time of day customization

[Bruce]

By default, time of the day filter is restricted to the following categories:
All Day, Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night.
I would like to, instead, use a different categorization.
1:00-2:00, 2:00-3:00, 3:00-4:00, etc.

I see that the function is in Time_of_Day.php, but it’s probably not recommended to customize this?
Do you have any tips and suggestions?

Thank you very much.

Howdy Nokuko,

I would love to help you with this.

Your definitely right, it’s not a great idea to customize that file. However you can basically copy/paste its contents into a separate file like your theme’s functions.php. Then rename the class to add your own custom version of that filter. Or you could just copy this:

That does what you’re looking for from the sound of it.

Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!

Thank you so much for your help!

I copied your code into my theme function.php.
Instead of your

		$time_of_day_array = array(
			'allday' => __( 'All Day', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'13-14' => __( '1:00-2:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'14-15' => __( '2:00-3:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'15-16' => __( '3:00-4:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'16-17' => __( '3:00-5:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'17-18' => __( '3:00-6:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'18-19' => __( '3:00-7:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'19-20' => __( '3:00-8:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'20-21' => __( '8:00-9:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'21-22' => __( '9:00-10:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'22-23' => __( '10:00-11:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'23-24' => __( '11:00-12:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
		);

I did

		$time_of_day_array = array(
                        'allday' => __( 'All Day', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'13-14' => __( '1:00-2:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'14-15' => __( '2:00-3:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'15-16' => __( '3:00-4:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'16-17' => __( '4:00-5:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
			'17-18' => __( '5:00-6:00 pm', 'tribe-events-filter-view' ),
		);

Because I made changes to your suggested code, are any other modifications needed within your code?

I am asking because it is not finding some of the events. (so far, I cannot figure out why it works for some and why it doesn’t work for others)

Thanks!

[Brook]

Hello again,

Those looks like some solid modifications, you even corrected my labeling errors! I do not see anything in your code that should be causing it to break, but in the interest of being forthright I  have not tested your code or mine extensively.

Do you have some example of events you can’t find using those filters that should show up? Is it possible to get a link to your site, perhaps in a private reply? I can not guarantee a lot of help here because we can only do so much with modifications, but I would definitely like to look into this a bit more. 🙂
