How to change Widget List View to show events by days of the current week?

[Orlando]

Hi Guys, I am currently trying to customise the list-widget.php (don’t worry its in my theme folder!)
to look like this the layout below,

Monday
• Event Title – 1pm – 3pm
• Event Title – 4pm – 5:30pm
• Event Title – 6pm – 8pm

Tuesday
• Event Title – 1pm – 3pm
• Event Title – 4pm – 5:30pm
• Event Title – 6pm – 8pm

Wednesday
• Event Title – 1pm – 3pm
• Event Title – 4pm – 5:30pm
• Event Title – 6pm – 8pm

Thursday
• Event Title – 1pm – 3pm
• Event Title – 4pm – 5:30pm
• Event Title – 6pm – 8pm

Friday
• Event Title – 1pm – 3pm
• Event Title – 4pm – 5:30pm
• Event Title – 6pm – 8pm

Saturday
• Event Title – 1pm – 3pm
• Event Title – 4pm – 5:30pm
• Event Title – 6pm – 8pm

Sunday
• Event Title – 1pm – 3pm
• Event Title – 4pm – 5:30pm
• Event Title – 6pm – 8pm

Here is a manual example of what I have done…

So far I have been able to change the code to do this

<h5 class="entry-title summary">
					<a href="<?php echo esc_url( tribe_get_event_link() ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>, <span class="event-duration">
					<?php echo tribe_get_start_time(); ?> - <?php echo tribe_get_end_time(); ?>
				</span>
				</h5>

But I need it to loop through each day of the week, and produce it in the format above, and this I am little stumped on.

Thanks for any tips of possible!

Hi Orlando,

What if you do something like this:

• For the first event, figure out which day it’s taking place on and print the “header” for that day
• For each subsequent iteration, and check to see what the day is and if it has changed, print a fresh “header”
• Continue until the loop is done

In terms of actually figuring out if the day has changed, you could do something like this:

tribe_get_start_date( null, false, 'Y-m-d' )

That would provide you with the current event’s start date and you could compare it to that of the preceding event and print out the day header or not, as appropriate.
