Event date before title

[Niklas Forsberg]

Hi!
I´m using Headway Themes and a custom template built opon that framwork. And the event-organiser pro.

When i click on a event on the widget calender it shows the “title of the show” in the next lines the other venue related information. However I would like that the title would show the “date” before “title text”. This should probably be done in the single -event template files. Does anyone have in hints how I should proceed?

Thanks for any help in this matter!

This will only really work for non-recurring events since for recurring events there is only one page for all occurrences. But you simply need to insert eo_the_start( $format ); somewhere before the title (the_title()).

$format here can be any format you like- you might like to change it according to whether the event is an all day event or not. get_option('date_format') and get_option('time_format') return the date and time format as they are set in the Settings > General.

If your theme has a single-event.php you could put it there. If not, you could do one of two things:

1. Add it to your single.php but only for events:

if( 'event' == get_post_type() ){
      eo_the_start( $format );
}

2. Create a a copy of single.php, named single-event.php and add the line

 eo_get_template_part( 'event-meta', 'event-single' );

wherever you want the ‘event details’ to appear (this is typically immediately above the_content().

Mileage will vary though, as some themes won’t call the_content() in single.php – but instead include another template file, which contains it.
