Change time format on single event page

[Sebastian Lammel]

Hey there,

I already solved my initial problem (see below), but another question arised.

How can I add something like “o’clock” behind the time on the events detail page?

My initial problem has been a misconfiguration in the theme, please ignore:

<hr />

I recently bought the developer-version of your plugin after testing it for a while.

When I tried the event list widget, the time of the event always showed twice (like Event: Party from 20:00 20:00 to 23:00 23:00). I worked on the widget-event-list.php until I was satisfied.

Now I have the same problem on the event details page (that shows when you click on the event’s name in the widget). It shows “Datum: 4. August, 11:30 11:30 – 7. August, 23:30 23:30”.

<h2>Where and what do I have to change to prevent the plugin or the theme from doing this?</h2>

Thank you in advance and with kind regards, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

The template defaults to the site’s date/time settings but to change it on that page only you need to copy the template/event-meta-event-single.php into your theme.

In that function there are two calls to eo_format_event_occurrence() (see docs: http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_format_event_occurrence.html). The first three parameters you can set as the default (false).

The fourth sets the time format, and you can use any of the ‘tokens’ listed here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

To include literal text you need to escape each character with a backslash. So you could pass:

 "g \o\'\c\l\o\c\k"

To the fourth argument and it would display something like 6 o’clock
