short date in widget

You can do this by using the wpt_event_date filter in your functions.php. Do you know how to do this.

Ok,

No, don’t know how. (Still quite new to WP)
Could you give some good link to a tutorial for it? I like to learn instead of just copiing some magic code… ??

Thanx

Here is an article that does similar things:

I might add your idea as a feature in one of the upcoming releases:

Hi Epco,

I just released a new version (v0.8.2) that adds this functionality.

Use it like this:

{{datetime|date('D j')}}

See the updated docs:
https://github.com/slimndap/wp-theatre/wiki/Shortcodes#event-listing

Hi Jeroen,

Great, but implementing it gave me some unwanted behaviour. Is it limited to datetime or can it also be used for date? The first adds the same ‘Thu – Wed 3’ (marks the ‘ !) for all dates, using it with date (which seems to work too, but giving a similar problem) gives ‘Thu 1’ everywhere.
Furthermore the site is a Dutch version of WordPress, but your code gives English days.
See for example https://moview.nl. On the pages Programma I have the standard date of WordPress (modded to ‘D j M’ and truncated through CSS, a bit ugly but gets the job done), on the pages English and subpage Programme I have your code added to the Theatre Events widget.

PS. I emailed you but thought it would be handier to post it here as well.

Looking into it right now.

Epco,

I just published an update (v0.8.2.1) that you fix all this.

Great, that fixed it! ??
