Hi,
We are using the Recurring Events Manager Add-on and want to display the start dates of the recurring events that have not expired in the main Event Description text box. I have tried using the shortcode [EVENT_TIME event_id=29 type=start_date format=F j, Y] but it only displays the month and only once even though there are 3 events in the future. Is there a way to accomplish what we want? Thank you.

Using Version 3.1.36.5.P

There is, but probably not without getting your hands dirty with a little php code. Is that something you are comfortable doing? We can certainly put you in the right ballpark and point you in the right direction here in the forums, but we just don’t have the support resources to code it here. What you want to look at is overriding the function espresso_event_time_sc which is in includes/shortcodes.php. You would need to copy that function to a custom functions plugin (https://github.com/sidharrell/eventespresso/blob/master/CustomFunctionsPlugin.php) and then modify it to accept a list of event ids, instead of just one. Doesn’t look like it would be terribly difficult.
