My customer is running various multi-days events, i.e. 5-day seminars which have different start/end times, e.g.
Seminar A over 5 days
Most of those seminar days the time is scheduled for 09:00-18:00. But for certain seminars e.g. the last day ends earlier, already at 14:00
So the question is how can I define/show this information best
– in the event creation page (currently not possible)
– in the event’s overview
– in the overview after clicking on “Register” (German: Buchen)
I saw a forum post from Dean, but unfortunately it does not answer how to achieve the requirements described above:

Hi Thomas,
For the most part this isnt currently possible, though it is being looked at for future versions. The problem is is that the days of an even share the time period, so the only way currently would be hiding the times from the event with CSS and adding in the times manually.

Hi Dean,
The different times for the seminar days should be shown to the registering users, hiding them is not an option.
The spot where the times are shown after clicking on “Register” is here:
/wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/registration_page_display.php
I could enter some hard-coded info into this PHP file, but then ALL events would show the same info.
How can I achieve this for each event separately?
Is there any documentation or other hints how to achieve that?
Thanks, Thomas

Hi Thomas,
The simple solution is to add them in the event’s description. You could even mark them up in an HTML table:
http://www.htmldog.com/guides/html/beginner/tables/
If you need to get more fancy than displaying the times in the event description (like on other views of the registration process) then the event meta fields can be used along with the [EE_META] shortcode.
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#ee-meta
So the usage example for adding times would be name->time1 key->10:00; name->time2 key->14:00; and so on
The built in event time fields that Event Espresso offers are generally used for selecting an event time if there is more than one time entered; this doesn’t sound like a good fit for your customer’s specifications.
As an aside, please consider updating the site to use the current version of Event Espresso. There have been more than a few bug fixes and enhancements added since Event Espresso 3.1.30.7.
