Showing day and month outside of list-widget

[ite]

Hi,
I want to show the daynumber and month of an event in two separated string.
I have found a code in the file list-widget.php, but when using this string it either shows “1” & “Jan” og todays date.

How may I pull this string wherever inside a loop?

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help get you in the right direction on this.

Can you provide a link to a pastebin(it is free and do not need an account) or gist of the coding you are using for this.

I can help make recommendations based on that.

Thanks

Hi,
this is how I try to show the dayname:

And here is the code I have in the page sidebar. I show the activity using Advanced Custom Fields on employees profile-pages:

Hope this helps 🙂

Ok thanks for that.

Have you included this above that coding:

$startDate = strtotime( $post->EventStartDate );
$endDate = strtotime( $post->EventEndDate );
$today = time();

/* If the event starts way in the past or ends way in the future, let's show today's date */
if ( $today > $startDate && $today < $endDate ) {
$postDate = $today;
} else {
$postDate = $startDate;
}

If you add that does it work then?

Let me know.

Thanks

Hi, this code still shows todays date.

I have also edited the file single-event.php and added this in /MyThemefolder/tribe-events/
This shows correct date and you may see the code here: http://pastebin.com/GKw75Fks

Does this help any further?

I reduced the coding down to this and got it to work:

$startDate = strtotime( $post->EventStartDate );
$endDate = strtotime( $post->EventEndDate );
$today = time();
/* If the event starts way in the past or ends way in the future, let's show today's date */
if ( $today > $startDate && $today < $endDate )
$postDate = $today; else
$postDate = $startDate;

?>
<div class="icon-date">
<h3><?php echo date_i18n( 'M', $postDate ) ?></h3>
<h4><?php echo date_i18n( 'd', $postDate ) ?></h4>
</div>

You have to remove the filter for it to display.

Also you will have to grab the css or use your own to style how you would like.

That should get you started on your customization so you can take it from here.

Thanks

The Event List Widget is showing today’s date?

If so looks like a theme conflict, can you please follow our testing for conflicts guide:

Testing Conflicts With Themes and Other Plugins

And see if that resolves the issue.

Thanks

Hi, as you may see in the code from the last post from me (http://pastebin.com/3wspsW26) the code that shows the event (and the wront date) is coded in the sidebar. It do not use the Event List Widget and trying a different theme would not work as the code is in the template files 🙂

[Brian]

Unfortunately, I am unable to troubleshoot custom coding as it is beyond the support we can provide. If it was the Event List Widget I can help out otherwise for customizations we can point you in the right direction and you are going to have to take it from here.
