How to add Start/End Date/Time to Monthly View Template

[Mike]

I am attempting to add in the start/end date & time to the Monthly view template. Here is the code I currently have in place:

<?php echo tribe_get_start_date( $event_id, true, 'D, M j, g:i' ); ?>-<?php echo tribe_get_end_time( $event_id, 'g:i' ); ?>

This works fine in the Photo view in pulling up a formatted date, but is returning a blank field for the request. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

And, on a related note, what is the code for available tickets? Here is the code I am using on the other template pages:

<?php echo tribe_events_count_available_tickets(); ?>

So far, it looks like only event featured image, title, venue, and URL are working. Ironically, custom fields were a snap to add. Is there a reason for this? Is the monthly view handled differently?

The total fields I need to pull:

Start Date
Start Time
End Time
Available Tickets

Thanks!

I am quite familiar with the Themer’s Guide, and how to call the various data sets in customized templates. Unfortunately, Start/End Date/Time function does not appear to be working in the Month views. See function call below:

<?php echo tribe_get_start_date( $event_id, true, 'D, M j, g:i' ); ?>-<?php echo tribe_get_end_time( $event_id, 'g:i' ); ?>

These come from the following function lists in your KB:
https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_get_start_date/
https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_get_end_date/

That snippet works in all the other templates EXCEPT for the Monthly view. Is there a reason for this? Is there a month specific code that I should be using? I understand you don’t help with customization, but I am asking for instruction on why your functions are NOT working, which should be a legitimate use of your support channels.

Hi Mike,

I cannot recreate any troubles with this in the month view.

Can you please copy and paste your FULL customized month view file (the one where these functions don’t work) into a Gist at http://gist.github.com, then share a link to that Gist here in your reply?

I will look at your complete file and try to see what’s going on…

Thanks,
George

That works, thanks!

For any future code modifiers, here is the proper code to display a modified start/end date on the Monthly view calendar:

<?php echo tribe_get_start_date( null, true, 'D, M j, g:i' ); ?>-<?php echo tribe_get_end_time( null, 'g:i' ); ?>

Use this reference to modify the date format as needed:

Thanks for sharing, Mike, and for your patience here.

Best of luck with your customizations!
