Recurring events display

[Rob Vander Giessen-Reitsma]

I would like to slightly alter the way recurring events are displayed on my site’s homepage and single event pages; I haven’t been able to find a way to do this anywhere, but it seems like it wouldn’t be terribly difficult.

On the homepage (http://trriviera.com/new/), I would like recurring events to simply post a link that says ‘See all dates and times’ that would link to the event listing that shows all of that event’s instances (http://trriviera.com/new/event/the-ardennes/all/). At the moment, it is listing the events and there simply isn’t space for that in the design.

On the event page (http://trriviera.com/new/event/the-ardennes/2017-01-26/), I would like to simply list the instances of the recurring event. Under the recurring section on the left, it currently describes the recurrences. Instead, I would like to simply list all instances: January 22 @ 12:00pm, January 26 @ 3:00pm, etc.

If I can manage to make these small changes, the site will be complete and will be perfect for the theater using it. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Okay, so for the single event page, it appears that this is the relevant code that displays the recurring event data:

		<?php if ( function_exists( 'tribe_is_recurring_event' ) && function_exists( 'tribe_get_recurrence_text' ) && tribe_is_recurring_event( get_the_ID() ) ) : ?>

		<tr>
			<th> <?php _e( 'Recurring:', 'tokopress' ) ?> </th>
			<td>
				<?php echo tribe_get_recurrence_text( get_the_ID() ); ?>
				<?php if ( function_exists( 'tribe_all_occurences_link' ) ) : ?>
					<?php printf( '<br/><a href="%s">%s</a>', esc_url( tribe_all_occurences_link( get_the_ID(), false ) ), __( '(See All)', 'tokopress' ) ); ?>
				<?php endif ?>
			</td>
		</tr>
		<?php endif ?>

So, my question is this: how would I edit this to list the date and time for all instances (instead of describing the recurrence as is happening now)? Any ideas?

I’ve figured out how to resolve my issues on the homepage, which was the simpler of the two issues. But I still need the code to list all instances of a recurring event (ex. – January 22 @ 12:00pm, January 26 @ 3:00pm, etc.). Effectively, I need to overwrite or replace this function:

<?php echo tribe_get_recurrence_text( get_the_ID() ); ?>

Hello Rob,

Thanks for reaching out! That looks like a funky customization you wanna do there. It should be possible.

As a starter, here are 2 articles that should help you with theme overrides:

Themer’s Guide

Template Overview

And our list of functions should be helpful as well: https://theeventscalendar.com/functions

I think you will need these functions:

tribe_is_recurring_event

tribe_get_recurrence_start_dates

Let me know if this helps and if you have any more questions.

Cheers,
Andras
