Export bug on multi-day events

    Hi Brian, Here is an interesting behavior that I think needs attention. If you enter a multi-day event (not a recurrence, but one event with different start and end dates) in Events Calendar, it appears properly on the web on each of the days of the event. However, in ECN, only one listing is generated (I guesss because only one event record is generated). Would it be more consistent to have ECN create an export line for each day of the multi-day event so it matches the web? For example, if one event lasts for a week, should it not be included in the exported event listings for each day of that week? Gene Forte, jazzoregon.com, [email protected]

    Hi Gene!

    Have sent a reply to your ticket. This would be difficult to do by default since some one-day events may span two days (ie. an evening event from 8pm-1am) but there are hooks/filters to customize it with some php if you can’t create events as recurring.

    Thanks!

    Where do we find these hooks/filters to customize this issue?

    We just want to show the start-date and end-date as shown here: https://screencast.com/t/aebqITtCt

    We are seeing this: May 12, 2017 @ 12:00 am to 11:59 pm

    Please advise asap.

    Thanks, in advance.

    The default should actually not show the time if it’s an all day event, will look to fix that in the next release. For now you can pick Custom and enter the following in the ‘Text’ tab to hide the date if all-day:

    <h2>{title}</h2>\n{if_event_image}<p>{event_image}</p>{/if_event_image}\n<p>{start_date} {if_not_all_day}@ {start_time}{if_end_time} to {end_time}{/if_end_time}{/if_not_all_day}{if_location_name} at {location_name}{/if_location_name}</p>\n<p>{description}</p>\n<p>{link}</p>

    If this doesn’t work, to avoid confusion, can you start a new topic and let me know what calendar you’re using?

    @project18 A new version 2.5.3 has been released which changes the default design to the above.
