Using an additional field as a per event time zone entry

[James Lavine]

I’ve been looking for a way to handle time zones (per event). I was recently made aware of the availability of additional fields, so I’m thinking this might be the way to go!

I have a question though: What if I want to use the data from an additional field in a place other than where it shows up by default, under the “Other” heading. I would love for it (the time zone) to display after the date and time, right under the title of the event. It would also be great to make it display after the date and time in the tooltip that shows up when you hover over an event in the full calendar view.

Thanks so much for your help!

Hello studiopie,

Good to see you again, thanks for starting a new topic!

When I first gave that answer, I was thinking the same thing, it’s just a little out of place. We haven’t seen or heard much demand for a timezone field, so as for now it’s unfortunately a bit of an add-on. If you have a moment, we’d love for you to submit your idea to our UserVoice forum. We take user ideas and contributions very seriously, and many times their ideas end up in our future releases.

Unfortunately that level of customization goes beyond the scope of the forums, so I can’t take the time to give you an exact answer. Sorry about that! But, if you check out our Themer’s Guide, you could probably find information on what you’re looking for. In fact, I would look at this post about the meta-walker, to configure the meta display as you like it.

Does this make sense? Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.

Cheers!

Hi James!

I wish I could give you a better answer, but that level of customization is just beyond the scope of these forums and our support. We try to make that clear on the front page of the forums along with the Events Pro product page, but I’m sorry we didn’t appropriately set your expectations.

If you would like to email [email protected], we can send you a list of freelance developers we have worked with in the past. For one of them, it may be simple to do.

Sorry for the disappointing answer! I wish I had a better response for you. :/
