Add 'event-occurance' event list template tag

[ICG EventOrganizer-Admin]

I’d like to propose a %event-occurance% shortcode template tag for Events List. This tag outputs the event start and end dates intelligently using the eo_format_event_occurance function, as an alternative to using the %start% and %end% tags (e.g. October 2-4 2016).

This can be done by modifying classes/class-event-organizer-shortcodes.php:

1. add a new ‘event_occurance’ pattern to the array in function read_template:

   ‘/%(event_occurance)({([^{}])}{([^{}])}|{[^{}]*})?%/’,

2. add a new ‘event_occurance’: case to the first switch in function parse_template that handles the arguments for start, end, etc.

3. add a new ‘event_occurance’ case to the inner switch that processes the tags: case ‘event_occurance’:

   $replacement = eo_format_event_occurrence( false, false, $dateFormat, $dateTime, ‘ – ‘, false ); break;

Note that I chose not to include microdata in order to match what’s done with start, end, etc. Perhaps all of these should have microdata?

I’ve opened a GitHub issue to track this feature here: https://github.com/stephenharris/Event-Organiser/issues/385

(It will probably be called event_range rather than event_occurrence)
