Show end times

[AlphaSmith]

Would like the event page to show the END times of events. This is pretty critical for most people who sign up for things in my experience, to know what the commitment is.

This feature is already part of WP EO, you’ll just have to edit your theme’s templates a little to include the end function.

See this codex page: http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_get_the_end.html

Here’s an example of what you could do:

<?php echo eo_get_the_start('H:i')." to ".eo_get_the_end('H:i'); ?>

Hi Alison,

Further to Dario’s post, the appropriate template is event-meta-event-single.php (if you want to display the event end date on the single event page). By default, the plug-in only displays a start date for non-recurring events, otherwise it lists all future (start) dates (and hides, all but 5).

To display an the end date/time you can change (~line 56):

 <?php if( !eo_reoccurs() ){ ?>
        <!-- Single event -->
         <li><strong><?php _e('Start', 'eventorganiser') ;?>:</strong> <?php eo_the_start($date_format); ?> </li>
  <?php
  } ?>

To

 <?php if( !eo_reoccurs() ){ ?>
        <!-- Single event -->
         <li><strong><?php _e('Start', 'eventorganiser') ;?>:</strong> <?php eo_the_start($date_format); ?> </li>
         <li><strong>End:</strong> <?php eo_the_end( $date_format ); ?> </li>
  <?php
  } ?>

And for recurring events (~line 88)

 <li><strong><?php _e('Upcoming Dates','eventorganiser'); ?>:</strong>
      <ul id="eo-upcoming-dates">
          <?php while( $upcoming->have_posts() ): $upcoming->the_post(); ?>
               <li> <?php eo_the_start($date_format) ?> </li>
          <?php endwhile; ?>
      </ul>
 </li>

To

 <li><strong><?php _e('Upcoming Dates','eventorganiser'); ?>:</strong>
      <ul id="eo-upcoming-dates">
          <?php while( $upcoming->have_posts() ): $upcoming->the_post(); ?>
               <li> <?php eo_the_start($date_format) ?> - <?php eo_the_end($date_format) ?></li>
          <?php endwhile; ?>
      </ul>
 </li>

Of course you may wish to format date/time differently. If you need any more assistence on this, I’d be happy to help!
