How can I include the abbreviated month in the Event List Shortcode view?

[Robert Hickling]

Hi there,
Thanks for the great plugins. I’d really like to include the 3-letter abbreviated month in the thumbnail calendar graphics to the left of each event in the event list in the shortcode view. Having just the day and date is a bit confusing from a user point of view. I’d even prefer to include the 3-letter month instead of the 3-letter day if that’s what’s possible. I’ve included some screenshots to help clarify my needs. Thanks for the support!

Hi Robert. Thanks for your question.

Please look in this file: /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php

You may use the tribe-mini_helper_tribe_events_ajax_list_dayname filter to change “D” to “D M” (reference: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php)

Or you may want to override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-child-theme]/tribe-events/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php, according to our Themer’s Guide.

I hope this information helps. Please let me know how it goes for you.

That works splendidly. Thanks so much! I’m able to get the month and the date. I’m curious how I would create the Month and the Day name with a line break as in the mock? Right now they sit side by side if I put “D M”.

If you give me a link, I may be able to help, but I’d imagine there’s some way to do it via CSS. This may help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4212909/can-css-force-a-line-break-after-each-word-in-an-element

Let me know.
