[Adam]

Hi,
Currently on my homepage I’m pulling in events into a carousel and am displaying the event time and date using the following:
Many thanks,

How can I post php code on this forum?

[Adam]

Can anyone help here please?
I need to know how to add php code so I can ask my question properly.

Hi Adam, sorry about the confusion! Please use a service like Pastebin or Gist to share your code. We’re aware this is a pain and a change is in the works to improve things, but for the time being Pastebin/Gist/similar services offer the best way to do this.

Thanks Barry, my code is here:

Would love to know how I could add a hyphen between the date & time like so:
January 23, 2013 – 1:45 pm

The date format follows the same conventions as used by PHP’s date() function so the current pattern you are using Y-m-d-h:i:s probably needs to change to F j, Y – h:i a … does that help here?

[Adam]

Thanks Barry, I’ve tried this: ‘M j, Y – h:i a’, but it spits out the following:
Jan 23, 2013 – 01:45 pm 1:45 pm

Do you know why the time would be displaying twice at all?

[Adam]

A-ha, I’ve managed to get what I want with the following:
echo tribe_get_start_date( $post->ID, false, ‘M j, Y – g:i a’);

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! I really need to start learning php… 🙂

[Barry]

Yes, if the second parameter is something other than false (or a value that evaluates as false, such as zero) then the time will be appended.

tribe_get_start_date(null, false, 'M j, Y - h:i a');

The above works for me and doesn’t show the time twice. Can you confirm if this is the same as your code?

[Barry]

OK, posted at the same time there! But yep sounds like you’re on track, so I will close this thread now.
