Mini Calendar Widget – How do you change month to not be abbreviated?

[Robert]

Currently the widget abbreviates the month in the “cal-header.” So that it is “Apr 2012.” How do you change it to be “April 2012”?

I can see in the table-mini.php file that it calls:

monthsShort[date(‘M’,$date)

Is there a “monthsLong” variable to call to show the full month instead of the abbreviated one?

Thanks for the help!

Hey Robert. Thanks for the note here. I believe this is doable, but am not positive…I’ve asked our dev Jonah (more knowledgeable at such issues than myself) to chime in directly when he hits the forums today. Stay tuned.

Change the ‘M’ to ‘F’

Henry,

Thanks for the response. For some reason, it did not work. My full code is below:

monthsShort[date(‘F’,$date)]; echo date(‘ Y’,$date); ?>

You can view the site and what the widget does on it here: http://www.lynchvegas.com

The widget is in the footer of the page. Whenever I change it back to ‘M’ it works, but ‘F’ and other formats just delete the month completely like shown.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Robert,

Try monthsFull

Looking at the-events-calendar.class.php I think this should display the full month name.

Hey Robert, this should do it:

echo date('F',$date); echo date(' Y',$date);


Just get rid of the monthsShort function…

[Henry]

You could probably just do this:

echo date(‘F Y’,$date);
