dateonly (instead of ‘timeonly’)

Hi @nikkel!

There is a tutorial here for adding additional HTML around the date and time separately, so that you could hide it using a bit of CSS:

https://eventcalendarnewsletter.com/change-color-style-time-events-calendar-shortcode/

The format for the date is under the Events > Settings for The Events Calendar itself (under the Display tab). You’d change F j to M j and that should do the trick.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for this. This gets me close to what I need. I can hide the time using CSS.
I still need a bit of help with events that span more than one day. If I hide the timerange_separator so I don’t get “AUG 16 -” for single-day events, I end up with “AUG 3, 2018AUG 6, 2018” (NO separator) for multi-day events. Also, as you see in my example, the startdate year shows up in multi-day events where the year is not THIS year. (It formats the date range ‘correctly’ for multi-day events coming up THIS year.)

(see my example ‘Upcoming Events’ here: https://mhv.psone.ca/

You’re right, it looks like CSS-only won’t really work. You can play around with the code in that blog post to display things how you want (ie. in the if ( tribe_event_is_multiday( $event ) ) part for multiday events), or else create a custom template to output the exact HTML you need.

Thanks!

Got it. Thanks for your help.
FWIW, here’s how I edited your plugin:

	$d1 = strtotime($start_date_full);
	$d2 = strtotime($end_date_full);

	$inner .= formatDateRange($d1, $d2);
// Calculate the date range
function formatDateRange($d1, $d2) {
	$startThisYear = $startEndYear = '';
	if (date( 'Y' ) === date('Y', $d1)) {$startThisYear = 1;}
	if (date( 'Y' ) === date('Y', $d2)) {$endThisYear = 1;}
	#event starts THIS year

    if (date('Y-m-d', $d1) === date('Y-m-d', $d2)) {
        # Same day
        if ($startThisYear === 1) {
	        return date('M j', $d1);
	        } else {
		        return date('M j, Y', $d1);
	        }
    } elseif (date('Y-m', $d1) === date('Y-m', $d2)) {
        # Same calendar month
        if ($startThisYear === 1) {
	        return date('M j', $d1) . date(' - j', $d2);
	        } else {
		        return date('M j', $d1) . date(' - j, Y', $d2);
	        }
    } elseif (date('Y', $d1) === date('Y', $d2)) {
        # Same calendar year
        if ($startThisYear === 1) {
	        return date('M j', $d1) . date(' - M j', $d2);
	        } else {
		        return date('M j', $d1) . date(' - M j, Y', $d2);
	        }
    } else {
        # General case (spans calendar years)
        return date('M j, Y', $d1) . date(' - M j, Y', $d2);
    }
}
