Hi Kristiina,

Thanks so much for reaching out again!

I am trying to format the date for the following link so it will show for the following pages
September 26- November 27 @ 5:20 pm-6:20 pm not as it is now September 26 @ 5:20 pm – November 27 @ 6:20 pm

In order to reformat the date, you may want to set things up so that it is set up as a recurring event, rather than just one long event.  Setting this up as a recurring event may help you to achieve what you are looking for.

You can set up your event something like this:

In order to change the header, you can use a plugin called “Say What?” to change the strings to whatever you want them to be.  You may have to play around a little before getting the desired effect.  The text-domain is ‘tribe-events’.  https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/

Creating a button will require some customizations on your part, and this article can get you started: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/url-as-word-button/

I hope I have helped to answer some of your questions.  Please let me know how everything goes and if you need any additional assistance on these topics!

 

Thanks,

Hi Thank you for your help

I got 2 done from your help above… 1 to go still

There are going to be approx 400 events that will be uploaded seasonally via a csv file so doing the recurring event method manually for each is not the best.. do you have another solution. Can the date and time fields be reorganized somehow?

I did try following this thread to figure out how but I have no idea what to edit in the single-event.php file

“I would suggest overriding the wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\src\views\list\single-event.php template to make that happen. You can learn more about overriding calendar templates in our Themer’s Guide, but it basically boils down to this:

Make a copy of the <span class=”paragraph”>single-event.php</span> template.
Make a new folder in your theme called “tribe-events” (wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/tribe-events)
Drop your copied single-event.php file in that last folder

Now that the template is in your theme, you can modify it to suit your needs.”

Hi Kristiina,

I’m glad we were able to help you with some of your issues so far!  Let’s get the rest taken care of too!

There are going to be approx 400 events that will be uploaded seasonally via a csv file so doing the recurring event method manually for each is not the best.. do you have another solution.

One option you may want to consider is purchasing Event Aggregator (https://theeventscalendar.com/product/event-aggregator/).  With Event Aggregator, you can schedule imports automatically, along with a ton of other options.

September 26- November 27 @ 5:20 pm-6:20 pm not as it is now September 26 @ 5:20 pm – November 27 @ 6:20 pm

What you can do for this is to edit the way that events are displayed.  The following article can provide more details: https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_events_event_schedule_details/.

Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions on this topic!

 

Thanks,

Hi Kristiina,

Thanks for your feedback, I’m sorry that you haven’t gotten the results that you are looking for yet!

We are limited by our Support Policy (https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/what-support-is-provided-for-license-holders/) in terms of how much we can help you customize your code.

Here is a forum post where someone asked for a similar customization, and there is a snippet provided here as well: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/show-the-date-range-for-recurring-events/

If this functionality is a requirement for your intended project, I’d suggest that a third-party developer would be the best way to make this feature happen on a short timeline. ? We maintain a list of developers who work with our plugins on our Knowledgebase here:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/find-a-customizer/

Let me know how it goes!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
