That is tricky, but you can customize the title using this filter.

The name of the event that’s displayed in the calendar is filterable via the WordPress plugin API

FHEE__EE_Datetime_In_Calendar__to_array_for_json__title

you can use php string manipulation, you can check some info here.

So, this would only work if the titles of events each had exactly the same number of characters in them. Our titles are all different lengths.

Sorry, I don’t follow here, may I ask why the length of the titles matters in regards to that hook?

You only want the event name to be used in the calendar? Something like this:

https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/797ed8242e9c97824d6d49d4c6d6ee42974b7ae1/addons/eea-calendar/tw_ee_EE_Datetime_In_Calendar__to_array_for_json__title.php

If you add more specifics on the issues with using the hook I can likely help point you in the right direction.

So this is what is in one block: (which includes our long title)
“MOVEMENT MUSIC & MESSY PLAY 10 to 24 months – Sundays @ 10am November Session 10:00am to 10:45am” We do not need all of this to show in the calendar view (but I must have this for the titles in the events in Event Espresso.) All that needs to be on the calendar in this example would be ” MOVEMENT MUSIC & MESSY PLAY 10 to 24 months 10am to 10:45am” The rest we would like to remove.

it seems you have to use string manipulation? if you have the same pattern for all of your event, you can use something like this.

function my_custom_calendar_filtered_title(
$original_title, $datetime_in_calendar
) {
$newtitle=$datetime_in_calendar->event()->name();

$finddash=’-‘;
$strpos_dash = strpos($newtitle, $finddash);

if(!$strpos_dash){
$strpos_dash = strlen($newtitle);
}

$renewtitle = substr( $newtitle, 0, $strpos_dash );
return $renewtitle;
}
add_filter(
‘FHEE__EE_Datetime_In_Calendar__to_array_for_json__title’,
‘my_custom_calendar_filtered_title’,
10,
2
);

Thanks
