Add Event Start Date to Attendee

Could the event start date be added to the “Show/Hide Column” on the Attendee Report screen? This would make things much easier to see who is booked into and event on a day.

Hi Peter,

We havent added that there as you can filter the attendees by event by hovering over the event name and clicking the attendee link that appears.

Hi Dean,

I have lots of events all with the same titles (e.g. 11:30am-1pm). In my case seeing the date in the attendee screen would be very useful, where I have no use for the start time. This would save me having to click on the attendee when I want to get a quick idea of how a day is looking.

Right I see, yes in that situation it could be useful. All I can do with that right now is add it to our feature request list. I cant really say if or when it would get added in though.

Peter if your not interested in start time at all you can alter one line of code to achieve what you are after (two actually but one is just a label).

You will loose this after each EE update, but it is very easy to do.

Not sure if you have any coding knowledge and rather than just giving you a file with it already changed it would be best for you to learn so you know how to do it in updates until/if it’s added to the core.

Open up event-espresso/includes/admin-reports/event_list_attendees.php

On line 261 you’ll see this:

Event Time Label

Change the ID (top line) from event-time to something like event-startdate.
Then change ‘Event Time’ to ‘Event Date’ or ‘Event Start Date’ if you like.

Thats the label on the table changed.

Then go to line 353:

Event Date function

Change that to:

Event time changed to event start date

That will show the start date for event chosen. Hope it helps.

@Tony,Thanks that worked great!

I have a very limited knowledge of php, or css code, but I have hacked away at some of the display templates before. Your instruction were more than adequate and better than sending a file, as now I know what to look at in the future.
