Integrating an Islamic (lunar) calendar

[rali]

Hello,

I’m trying to integrate an islamic calendar into the events calendar pro.

Basically, I am trying to achieve something similar to the calendar on this site: http://www.jaffari.org

I.e. for every month, I need to output the corresponding islamic month, and for every date, I need to output the corresponding islamic date.

I dont want to have to manually detect the date/month under each view and override the template. I was hoping there’s a date filter I can use to achieve this, but I’m not sure which filter to target.

Any help is appreciated!

rali,
Thanks for getting in touch! To my knowledge, there isn’t a global filter that will replace all day numbers like this. You’ll need to tackle this on a ‘per view’ basis. A couple of filters that might help are:

• ‘tribe_events_get_current_month_day’ – for returning the day number in month view
• ‘tribe_event_format_date’ – Global utility function that formats date strings

A couple of other good places to look are our themer’s guide and our developer docs.

Hopefully that points you in the right direction as you start in on this customization. Thanks and good luck! 🙂

I just wanted to follow up and see if you’re all set here or if you still have further questions. Just let me know if you have further questions or if I should go ahead and close out this thread. Thanks! 🙂

Hi Casey,

Sorry about the delayed reply. My issue has been resolved. I had to manually spit out the lunar date for each view. Not the best solutions, but it works.

Nonetheless, thanks for your help!

Great! Thanks for confirming that this got you sorted. Since it looks like you’re all set, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you’d write a few words for us here: http://m.tri.be/lo

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Cheers,
Casey
