Override event date/time

Hello,

When creating an Event, You could specify the Date on right side-bar. You also opt to to check the “All Day” to display the event as all day (ie: 24hours).

Under Events > Settings > Formatting > Single Event page format, is the template file used for every event. You could remove the placeholder #_EVENTTIMES to remove the displaying of Event Time.

There’s also a small snippet that is made by andy which is an EM enthusiast. https://github.com/andyplak/Events-Manager-TBC-Date Maybe further modifying this small snippet could help you on what you would need.

Thanks for the reply timrv. Unfortunately as I have a lot of events that rely on a dates and times I can’t remove the #_EVENTTIMES.

Tried the TBC plugin but although I get a check box on the admin page it has no effect on the front end.

@wi77p0m,
You could replace #_EVENTTIMES with a custom placeholder. In that placeholder you could put an if/else condition to show or hide the event times.

Something among the lines of:

function my_custom_eventtimes($replacement, $EM_Event, $placeholder) {
  if( $placeholder === "#_MYEVENTTIMES" ) {
    $replacement = $EM_Event->all_day = true ? null : $EM_Event->output("#_EVENTTIMES");
  }
  return $replacement;
}
add_filter('em_event_output_placeholder', 'my_custom_eventtimes', 10, 3);

Thanks @duisterdenhaag
I’ll look into that, may need to learn some code!!
