How to show only the daynumber of an event

[ite]

Hi, Trying to create a calendar-icon where the month is specified first (M) and then a span with the number of the day the event takes place.

I used the following code for the month:
<?php echo apply_filters( ‘tribe-mini_helper_tribe_events_ajax_list_dayname’, date_i18n( ‘M’, $postDate ), $postDate, $class ); ?>
And it worked at first but is no longer working.
Are there an easier way for this?

Hi ite — can you provide a little more context? Where is that code running, for example – is it within a template override for the calendar widget?

Hi, I´m trying to use this in a template override for the activity list widget for example.
But also in an template override for single event.

OK – and is it not working in either context? What is the actual problem – is it simply showing nothing at all?

To get the day number itself, though, you would use some code like this (assuming $postDate is set to a valid value):

date_i18n( 'd', $postDate )

Thanks, but by using this it shows 01 (for ‘d’) and Jan (‘M’)…
Both in single-event.php and list-widget.php…

Isn’t the number of the day what you want here? To be clear, you wouldn’t replace the existing date_i18n() call – rather you would add this one to the same piece of code.

If you don’t wish to have leading zeroes you can use j instead of d – please see the following for more details:

• codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time
• php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

However, though I wish we could help further, I’m afraid it’s very much a customization task and something you’ll need to move forward with by yourself or – if you need further assistance – it may be worth seeking the help of a suitable WP/PHP dev.

Sorry we can’t do more on this occasion but I hope this at least has given you a few ideas. Thanks again 🙂
