Hi,
I would like to display my upcoming events on the home page with a format like:
2/13: Event Title
Event Description
February 13, 2016
This has some custom formatting to work within a slideshow.
My questions are:
1) Is there a way to call the event date by event ID? I’m just trying to get this meta information.
2) Is there a way to display it in two different formats (2/13 and February 13, 2016)?
Thanks!
Erin

Hi Erin,
There’s a template tag that you can call. It’s in the public/template_tags.php file, which in most cases should be loaded up. It will accept a date format parameter and the event ID.
Here are a few examples based on the formats you asked about:
<?php
$event_id = 123;
espresso_event_date ( 'm/d', '', $event_id, true);
espresso_event_date ( 'F j, Y', '', $event_id, true); ?>

Thank you so much, Josh! That’s exactly what I needed. In order to not show the time, I put a space between the quote marks so it ended up like:
<?php
$event_id = 123;
espresso_event_date ( 'm/d', ' ', $event_id, true);
espresso_event_date ( 'F j, Y', ' ', $event_id, true); ?>
