Shortcode tribe_events_list month error

[Joël Schmid]

Hello

When using the shortcode

[tribe_events_list thumbnail="false" limit="150"]

I get a list of all events as desired. However, all events in the month of October (German Oktober), display the weekday (SO, Sonntag), instead of the month like all other events. (See Print-Screen below)

Thank you in advance for your help.

Cheers, Joël

Hey Joël,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

The [tribe_events_list] shortcode will display the weekdays by default. I’ve temporarily changed my WordPress install language to German so you can check the default display.

You can modify the way your [tribe_events_list] shortcode (and widget) is displayed by coping the following file:

wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php

And pasting it on:

[your-theme]/tribe-events/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php

To achieve what you want, you’ll have to modify the code inside “list-daynumber” class (lines 108 to 110).

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll be happy to assist!

Best Regards,

Patricia

Hello Patricia

The [tribe_events_list] shortcode will display the weekdays by default.

Hmm, I’m a bit confused now. Why is it displaying the month in my case except for October where there are multiple events on the same day and that it displays the weekday?

I didn’t do any customizations on wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php.

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Hi Joël,

You are right: that’s odd! Could you please send me the link to access the page with this shortcode so I can take a look?

This sounds like a customization or a conflict: let’s find out what’s going on!

Thanks!

Hi Joël,

I’ve just ran a quick test and found out what was actually causing the issue here.

Inside wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php we have a piece of code that basically says: if the event occurs in the same month as the current month, display the date format as day-of-the-week instead of month name:

<?php else: ?>
            <span class="list-dayname">
                <?php
                echo apply_filters(
                    'tribe-mini_helper_tribe_events_ajax_list_dayname',
                    date_i18n( 'D', $post_date ),                                                                                                                                                            
                    $post_date,
                    $mini_cal_event_atts['class']
                );
                ?>
            </span>
        <?php endif; ?>

The simplest way to modify this behavior is by overriding this template (as already explained here), and modifying line number 100:

replace:

date_i18n( 'D', $post_date ),

with:

date_i18n( 'M', $post_date ),

After you make this change, the tribe_events_list shortcode will display the events for every month with the expected date format.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the delayed response here and if you have any other questions, let me know and I’ll be happy to assist 🙂

Best Regards,

Patricia

Hello Patricia

Thanks for the infos. Yes, I’m aware that it displays the day, once there are multiple events. I just think this is not very useful and rather confusing. Therefore, please consider this as a feature request.

Cheers, Joël

Hi Joël,

Thanks for your feedback! I would recommend proposing this feature in our User Voice page: perhaps we could add the option to change the current month date format via Dashboard instead of overriding the single-event.php file.

Other users can then up-vote it, giving us a great idea of how much demand there might be (or, if you can find a suitable existing request, you can in turn up-vote that).

If you have any other questions at all please feel free to let me know and I’d be happy to help as best I can!

Thanks!

Patricia
