How to display datetime on event-meta-event-single.php

[Webmaster CCC]

Hi,

I saw on the codex this:

eo_format_datetime( $datetime, $format = 'd-m-Y' )

How would I set this up in this unordered list to check the condition if it exists, then display the range of date when the event happens and when it ends?

<ul class="eo-event-meta">
      // I don't need eo_recurs bc it's only a one day event 
      <?php if ( //code here to check if datetime exists// ) { ?>
           
<?php  echo eo_format_datetime( $datetime, $format = 'd-m-Y' );?>: 
      <?php } ?>

An event always has a start and end date, so there’s no need to check if these exist.

To format the range of the start and end datetime I would recommend using eo_format_event_occurrence(). See http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_format_event_occurrence.html

You could use it as follows in your single-event.php or event-meta-single-event.php:

$occurrences = eo_get_the_occurrences_of(); //This should be array of one element for you 
$occurrence_id = (int) key($array); //we're just grabbing an occurrence ID
echo eo_format_event_occurrence( get_the_ID(), $occurrence_id );

This will, by default, use your site’ss date/time format, but display the start and end date time as range.

Thank you I tried this and it works as well:

<?php if ( ! eo_recurs() ) { ?>
          <!-- Single event -->
           
<?php _e('Start:', 'eventorganiser') ;?> <?php eo_the_start('F jS Y g:ia'); ?> 
            
<?php _e('End:', 'eventorganiser') ;?> <?php eo_the_end('F jS Y g:ia'); ?> 
 <?php } ?>

The issue is, when the user clicks on all day. The Start and End time displays as:

Start: May 1st 2017 12:00am

End: May 1st 2017 11:59pm

I would like to have the condition for it to say : All Day

So I’m thinking something like this (pseudocode here):

If ( user checks on all day box in the fes form) {
         
Time: All Day
Else {
 <!-- Single event -->
       
<?php _e('Start:', 'eventorganiser') ;?> <?php eo_the_start('F jS Y g:ia'); ?> 
       
<?php _e('End:', 'eventorganiser') ;?> <?php eo_the_end('F jS Y g:ia'); ?> 

<?php } ?>
}

I can’t find a query on the codex for the all day check box.

You can replace 'F jS Y g:ia' with:

eo_get_event_datetime_format( get_the_ID(), 'F jS Y', 'g:ia' )
