I’ve tried the #_12HSTARTTIME placeholder, but this still shows the start time if the All Day box is checked – I want to use the ‘All day’ function to display the message ‘TBC’ if we don’t yet have a start time.

Is there any way around this or am I best to use custom fields and hide the time displays altogether?

thanks or this great plugin. I am using it to get an ICS file from our vacation planer and show it on our internal homepage.

As vacations are normally multi-day events they are described in ICS like:

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTAMP:20230511T064737Z
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230616
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230621
SUMMARY:Someone on Vacation
X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:TRUE
UID:3CXXXXXXXXXXXXXXA4541A3
ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;CN=Retadcted:mailto:[email protected]
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
ORGANIZER:mailto:[email protected]
END:VEVENT

What I noticed is that ICS Calendar shows this event starting on 16-06-2023 00:00 and ending 21-06-2023 24:00. What this entry actually means (and my other ICS clients show it correctly) is 16-06-2023/ 00:00 to 21-06-2023 /00:00. So the event (here vacation) only include the 20-06-2023.

Is this an error in the ICS generating software? Or is this the normal way mulit-day events should be specified and ICS calendar is interpreting it incorrectly.

Currently, the ICS-Calendar always shows one day more than the ICS implies to…

Our situation for our church, is that we have multiple calendars, but.. several are just a month long “event” such as which vestry members is assigned to unlock and lock the church for events and meetings being held in our parish hall. We have a separate google calendar setup so we can easily display and remind the vestry person of their job, and so people know who to call if they need something at the church building. BUT having the time display for this makes no sense as the person is assigned ALL month long. I have a calendar setup so that on the first of the month the person’s name will show and I assigned it a different color than the other icals being pulled in. However I want to hide the times since they really are not relevant for just this one iCal. I do want the times to show for normal events that we want to display from other icals.
Hiding and showing end times ought to work the same way.

Being able to do this in the short code for hidetimes=”true|false” showendtimes=”false|true” like we can for other features of the plugin make sense.

And I using the wrong code? I tried spaces and pipes.

Is there another way to do this maybe?

I found a question on the forum regarding the translation of the text string “Week of” where you responded that the text string had not been properly internationalized and I am wondering if this might be the same situation. (Like “Week of”, “All Day” is a user configurable string but we are using the default value).

I’m experiencing an issue where All-Day events are displaying as “All of the day” in the Event Time module.

This is despite the fact that in Settings>Messages>Others, I’ve configured All Day to display as “All Day”.

I recently purchased and installed the Elementor Single Builder Add-On plugin and created a new default layout for Single Events with that tool. I didn’t notice this issue before taking that step, so perhaps there’s a conflict somewhere?

I know I could fix this with PHP (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/change-all-of-the-day-text/), but neither of the solutions suggested in that thread are ideal; the first might catch false positives (I think?), and the second would have to be redone every time I update the plugin.

The problem is that any event listed for ‘All Day’, is being listed for 2 days.

I have found that when creating an event, and setting the time to ‘All Day’, the right side menu (in block editor) lists the Time Zone as UTC rather than using the site-wide setting. If I update it there, it works correctly. So what is the purpose of setting it site-wide if you still have to set each individual event?

Thanks!

On the page attatched to this ticket we don’t want to show the ending dates. We use the shortcode #_24HSTARTTIME to do so. What happens then is that events that take all day are displayed like this: 00:00 – 00:00. We want to keep events that take all day at ‘hele dag’, which means all day in Dutch.

Is there a solution for this?

I added two new events as all-day events (“All Day” is check-marked by the time for the event) but it is still showing the time on the event page. I am using the #_EVENTTIMES shortcode in Formatting > Events > Events Page. Any ideas?

<tr>
<td>
#_EVENTDATES<br/>
#_EVENTTIMES
</td>
<td>
#_EVENTLINK
{has_location}<br/><i>#_LOCATIONNAME, #_LOCATIONTOWN #_LOCATIONSTATE</i>{/has_location}
</td>
</tr>
