hi there, i have a site using the PRO sidebar calendar widget that also shows ‘featured’ (< a category) events in a carousel, and we’re going round in circle with a couple of things in terms of how we specify events that span multiple days.<\/p>\n

we can’t figure out a satisfactory way to use ‘recurring’ events if an event starts on a particular day and happens everyday until a particular date. if we set it as “recurring” everyday we end up with our ‘featured’ carousel full of ‘replicates’, but if we set it as a single event spanning multiple days then our event doesn’t appear appropriately in the sidebar mini-list under the widget calendar (by default it will show “11 November 4pm – 24 December 6pm” which comes from tribe_events_event_schedule_details(); in the single-event template, which isn’t really what we want (better would be “11 November-24 December 4-6pm” but i can’t find a way to do this).<\/p>\n

what is the logic behind which events appear under the widget mini-calendar? in terms of priorities and ordering? particularly when clicking on specific days in the widget calendar…<\/p>\n

looking at https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/function-category\/events\/ i’ve tried editing the single-event template to use alternatives like tribe_get_start_date(); but this also echoes the TIME (argh)…<\/p>\n

any suggestions\/clarifications here please?
\nthanks,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1193061","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nsidebar calendar widget and recurring events...
