Show Day Name next to Date Month View

[Shea]

Hi,

I know that this needs to a template edit to the month/single-day.php. What we want to do is to add the day name next to the date on each day of the month. I can’t figure out how to call this from the tribe_events_get_current_month_day() function.

Thanks for the help.

Hi, Shea/Rich.

This is an example of some data that comes from tribe_events_get_current_month_day(): https://cl.ly/317c1154f815

You could do something like this with it:

$datetime = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $day['date'] ); // 2018-10-04
echo $datetime->format('D'); // Thu
echo $datetime->format('l'); // Thursday

You might also want to pass the time zone, but this is just a proof-of-concept.

See https://secure.php.net/manual/datetime.createfromformat.php for more details.

Please let me know how this goes for you.

Hi Cliff,

I tried the code you suggested on the single-day.php. You can see the edits that I made on lines 33 and 34 of the file https://gist.github.com/richsalvucci/6399b6b0a060646798a642540d590914. There is no change on the display. I have tried the file paths in my child theme of tribe-events/month and tribe-events/pro/month/ but neither path worked. Did I misplace the code in the file? Thanks for the help.

Rich, that code worked for me: https://cl.ly/7173ffb2048f

Make sure to clear your browser and site caches.

Let me know…

Oh, try unchecking “Enable the Month View Cache” at wp-admin > Events > Settings > Display tab.

Hi Cliff,

It is fixed now. It must have been a caching issue.Thanks for all of the help. I appreciate it.
