widget month adbreviation

Hi Frederic – does this post from the Events Calendar PRO forum help at all?

did tried but no luck
is filter correct?

add_filter(‘tribe_events_the_mini_calendar_title’, ‘change_minical_title_month_format’);

function change_minical_title_month_format($title) {
return str_replace(‘September’, ‘Sept’, $title);
}

That basically looks correct. I’m not sure why it isn’t working for you but, unfortunately, I’m afraid we’ll have to leave it to you to figure out the rest – hopefully though that gives you a starting point to play with.

It could be worth double checking that it is located appropriately within your theme’s functions.php file (if that is where you put it).

I am placing it on bottom of thew theme function
but no luck

add_filter(‘tribe_events_the_mini_calendar_title’, ‘change_minical_title_month_format’);

function change_minical_title_month_format($title) {
return str_replace(‘September’, ‘Sept’, $title);
}
just add to replace filter to:
tribe_events_event_schedule_details

add_filter(‘tribe_events_event_schedule_details’, ‘change_minical_title_month_format’);

now if I want to add a list?
with one month it works but who to do it all

function change_minical_title_month_format($title) {
return str_replace(‘January’, ‘Jan’, $title);
return str_replace(‘February’, ‘Feb’, $title);
return str_replace(‘March’, ‘Mar’, $title);
return str_replace(‘April’, ‘Apr’, $title);
return str_replace(‘May’, ‘MAy’, $title);
return str_replace(‘June’, ‘Jun’, $title);
return str_replace(‘July’, ‘Jul’, $title);
return str_replace(‘August’, ‘Aug’, $title);
return str_replace(‘September’, ‘Sept’, $title);
return str_replace(‘October’, ‘Oct’, $title);
return str_replace(‘November’, ‘Nov’, $title);
return str_replace(‘December’, ‘Dec’, $title);
}

Hi Frederic, I think you would benefit from something like a switch control structure. As it stands, no code within your function will run after the first return statement.

It’s been a while so I’ll mark this thread as resolved (it’s also more a general PHP/WP dev question than anything else). Thanks!

add_filter(‘tribe_events_event_schedule_details’, ‘change_minical_title_month_format’);

function change_minical_title_month_format($title) {
$title = str_replace(‘January’, ‘Jan’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘February’, ‘Feb’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘March’, ‘Mar’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘April’, ‘Apr’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘June’, ‘Jun’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘July’, ‘Jul’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘August’, ‘Aug’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘September’, ‘Sep’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘October’, ‘Oct’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘November’, ‘Nov’, $title);
$title = str_replace(‘December’, ‘Dec’, $title);
return $title;
}
