Theatre events proving complex to schedule as recurring events.

[Abby]

Thanks for that Josh. We have been working on it too and have come up with the following (posting it here for the record):

from theme functions.php

add_filter(‘tribe_events_event_schedule_details’, ‘custom_events_event_schedule_details’, 1, 4);
function custom_events_event_schedule_details($html, $postid, $before, $after)
{
if(tribe_is_recurring_event($postid))
{
$start_dates = tribe_get_recurrence_start_dates( $postid );
$firstdate=reset( $start_dates );
$lastdate=end( $start_dates );
$firstmonth=$firstdate;
$first=getdate(strtotime($firstdate));
$lastmonth=$lastdate;
$last=getdate(strtotime($lastdate));
if($first[‘mon’]==$last[‘mon’])
{
$dthtml=$first[‘mday’].” – “.$last[‘mday’].” “.$first[‘month’];
}
else
{
$dthtml=$first[‘mday’].” “.$first[‘month’].” – “.$last[‘mday’].” “.$last[‘month’];
}
$dthtml=”<div classname=\”tribe-events-period\”><abbr title=\”Season from “.tribe_format_date($firstdate,false).” until “.tribe_format_date($lastdate,false).”\” classname=\”tribe-events-period-dates\”>”.$dthtml.”</abbr></div>\n”;
$html=$dthtml; // nb this replaces the normal start date
}
return $html;

I’m not marking this as resolved as I believe it needs to stay unresolved pending the recurring description fix? But I think we have sorted the dates, so thank you.

Hey Abby,

Awesome! This looks like a great solution here!

For the recurring description issue, I have this thread added to our internal ticket for tracking that particular bug. I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. Even with the thread being closed, you’ll still receive the updates about the issue as our team makes progress on addressing this one.

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to open a new thread.

Thanks!
