Modifying Display of Date and Time

[Jeff]

Hello,
I am being a nitwit and apologize for the silly questions that follow,

I am trying and failing to modify how and where dates display on this page: http://www.brooklyngreenway.org/greenpr/events/

I want the date in the blue bubble to just be the three letter month abbreviation and the day, or ‘M j’.
On the event information bar that appears below the description, I want to remove the date altogether and just show the time.

I’ve poked about with list.php and the date template tags and come up short. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hey Jeff,

It would help to see some samples of code you’re working with trying to modify these things. http://pastebin.com is a good place to paste code and share a link here.

Hi,
I am really just moving bits of existing code about for now. This is the line I want to modify: http://pastebin.com/MUnHxwUr

I did try modifying the line with the template tag I saw on the FAQs but that didn’t work for me, though I strongly suspect I did something silly.

echo ”.date(‘M j’,strtotime($e->EventStartDate)).”;

Thank you for any clues!
Jeff

Hey Jeff,

Usually when I work with putting dates into bubble like this I like to separate out each date chunk so I can style each piece individually. Maybe this will help:

Then you can style each chunk by targeting the class selectors for each piece. You’ll need to adapt this to fit your needs but this should help.

Let me try that again:

Great, this makes total sense. Thank you so much, Jonah.
