How do I get the year to show after the month and day on listings?

[Sarah Kerr]

Is there a simple way for a non-techie to get the year to show on listings?

I’ve attached two screen shots, one of my page without the year, and the other of a page I found through TEC gallery that shows the year.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Cheers,
Sarah

The site that I like is https://www.milkwood.net/courses/

My site is still under construction.

Thanks,

Hey Sarah,

Thanks for reaching out!

That can be done with a simple setting. Go to Events > Settings > Display tab > Date Format Settings section > Date without year and enter the format in there.

If you want like: September 30, 2016, then use this: F j, Y

If you want like: September 30th, 2015, then use this: F jS, Y

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
Andras

Perfect, thanks!

Ok, another question:

How do I get the location to show in the same way as they do on the other site?

Thanks

Hey Sarah,

I took the assumption that you want to add the venue info to photo view.

Further assumption based on the other site is that you want to show the city and the venue name separated by a comma. To achieve this, paste this snippet in your theme’s functions.php file:

https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/533ec767245651d024782f4df95e8189

If you want to display different venue info, then it should be pretty easy to further customize. On this page you can find further functions that get you information about your venue:

https://theeventscalendar.com/?s=tribe_get_venue&submit=Search&post_type%5B%5D=wp-parser-function&post_type%5B%5D=wp-parser-hook

 

Hope this helps, let me know how it works out.

Thanks so much for this Andras.

Actually, I just want the city, without venue to show in photo view (and ideally in widgets as well). I should have been more clear. Could you send the code for that?

Thanks,
Sarah

Hey Sarah,

I updated the code to show only the city. Here it is again.

As for the widgets, do you want to show the city in both the Events Calendar widget and the Events List widget?

Thanks and cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras,
Thank you for the code to make the city show up on our event listings. I’ve added it but it’s showing up below the meta data (date), is it possible to make it meta data so it shows up beside the date?

[Andras]

Hey Sarah,

Do you maybe have a link where I could take a look at this live? A dev site or something?

Also it would be helpful if you could share your system information with me. Here’s a guide for that to help:

Thanks,

Hi Andras,

Here is the events page. You can see that the city is showing up below the meta data and not within it.

That would require a template override.

Remove the snippet I shared with you before.

Create a file in your child theme’s directory like wp-content/{your-theme}/tribe-events/pro/photo/single-event.php

and copy this code in that file. (Or download the file and copy it into that directory.)

https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/2b73216592074ae3a59f428da55aa417

If you need you can add further html elements like < span > around the tribe_get_city() part on line 44 to allow you for some formatting.

This is about as much as I can provide on this. Let me know how that works out.

Cheers,

Andras

[Sarah Kerr]

That did it! Thank you for your help!

[Andras]

Hi Sarah,

Woohoooo!!!! I’m glad it helped!

I am going to go ahead and close this ticket, but if you need help on this or something else, don’t hesitate to open a new topic.

Good luck with your project!

Cheers,
Andras
