Hi there,
\nI’m posting this for my client as I’m the developer for their site (stephberg@webfocusdesign.com)<\/p>\n
I need to change the same year date format for events and I’ve read the discussion in this thread:
\nhttps:\/\/tri.be\/support\/forums\/topic\/changing-date-format-in-v3\/
\nand I’ve searched for details in the docs and elsewhere but, I couldn’t find the actual details I need.<\/p>\n
In the tribe_events_event_schedule_details() function of public\/general.php, the $settings array sets a ‘same_year_format’ variable to a hard coded value of ‘F j’ which is then assigned to $format when an event is in the current year. That’s a bad idea on many levels (both hard coding the value AND assuming that displaying the year in a same year event is unnecessary), especially for non English sites as the hard coded value uses the English formatting but, more on that below. For now, I modified the general.php file and changed that variable’s value directly but I would like to override that variable value or that array in my theme’s functions.php to be able to update TEC and TECP without loosing that change. I just have no idea what code should go in the filter to just override that variable. I have created a filter and tried a bunch of things in it but in didn’t work.<\/p>\n
I did not find any indication in the docs of how that filter should be written to override that ‘same_year_format’ variable so, any pointers would be much appreciated.<\/p>\n
On principle, whether the year is displayed for current year events or not should be an option in the plugin’s settings. Assuming it’s not needed or useful is wrong IMO. In terms of UX, removing context like this is never a good idea to begin with and hard coding values this directly tied to localized data is even worse IMO. So I really believe this logic should be revised.<\/p>\n
Thank you!<\/p>\n
