Show event details on calendar view, not just on hover

[Jason]

On the main default monthly calendar view, I need a way to show some of the events details (like date/time) and not just the event name itself. Right now, when you hover over the event name in the calendar view, the details show up. I want that to remain the same but I want to show date/time under the event name in the monthly calendar view.

Hi Jason,

The calendar is extremely customizable so something like this should definitely be achievable. We to tend to be a little limited in terms of how much depth we can go into with customization requests like this, but I can definitely try to point you in the right direction 🙂

In this case, I’d recommend setting up a template override – simply copy the following file:

wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/month/single-event.php

Place the copy inside your theme, ie:

wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/tribe-events/month/single-event.php

Now locate the following code:

<h3 class="tribe-events-month-event-title"> <a href="<?php echo esc_url( $link ) ?>" class="url"><?php echo $title ?></a> </h3>

Replace it with the following:

<h3 class="tribe-events-month-event-title">
	<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $link ) ?>" class="url"><?php echo $title ?></a>
	<?php echo tribe_get_start_date( $post->ID, false, 'j M Y @ H:i' ); ?>
</h3>

What we’ve added is an extra line adding date and time information. You could certainly extend this to include other information and add additional HTML to help tweak it on a presentational level, too.

Does that help?
