{{meta_EventStartDate}}

[Honey Shelton]

We are setting up a SliderRevolution slideshow for events and have one issue.
We use the {{meta_EventStartDate}} from the database to get the event date but this also includes HH:MM:SS. The only thing we want to remove are the seconds. Can you think of a way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

Hi. Thanks for your question.

I’m not intimately familiar with SliderRevolution, but I’m guessing there isn’t a way to work around the slider’s limitation (if it can interpret date but not date+time) without custom coding.

If you do go the customization route to accomplish this, maybe you could customize SliderRevolution instead of our plugin’s code? Maybe you could ask their support if there’s such a workaround.

We do have a list of known customizers for reference, if you’re interested.

Please let me know how things turn out.

there’s a way to insert custom javascript so I was thinking maybe a slice.

var eventstart = document.getElementById("slide-7308-layer-4");
eventstart.innerHTML.slice(0,-4);

I realize it’s beyond the scope of your support though. I’ll continue playing with it.

Thanks for sharing and for your understanding.

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that we published a how-to for Slider Revolution and Essential Grid: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/integrating-events-calendar-slider-revolution-essential-grid/

We hope you find it useful! If you have follow-up questions about it, please create a new thread.

Thanks and have a great rest of your week!
