Use TEC meta in other plugin

[Stéphane]

Hi,

I’d need to retrieve TEC metafields informations (like event start date, etc..).

I know a lot of functions exist in the CODEX to display these informations, but here I need the meta slug itself to create a meta reference/alias.

Thanks a lot for your help !

Thanks

Look great 🙂

However it doesn’t seems to work in my plugin : I use Essential Grid to display some events. In all other cases, I’m creating a meta alias/reference in EssGrid and it displays perfectly.

Here I’ve created the same using _EventStartDate meta, but nothing shows up :-/

This list is the list of metafields slugs right ?

Also, is there a meta for start time and end time ?

Thx

[Brian]

Not sure why it would not be working. I am limited in being able to troubleshoot customizations.

However, I an answer questions.

The Start time is included in this field: _EventStartDate

Same with the end time in this: _EventEndDate

Those include both the date and time.

Great 🙂 I was missing the capital letters. Now it works great!

However I just need the time, not the full _EventStartDate.

Is there a meta just for it ?

If not, is there a way to customize the format globally ?

thx

[Brian]

There is no meta for just the time it is included in the _EventStartDate.

You will have to search for some php functions to get just the time from the data/time variable in the format you would like.

I did a quick search and some of these results may help.
