So, I have been editing the display of the events widget and ran into a question or two.
take a look at he footer section of my homepage http://www.periop-ed.com ,
We host two different types of courses, most are two day events, and a few are one day events.
Question is:
Can I format the date so it displays more like “September 6-7, 2014” for two day events, and “September 6, 2014” for the single day events?
Instead of what I am doing now which displays “September 6, 2014 – September 7, 2014”
I guess I’m just asking where the date format is pulled from and can I combine dates into a simpler format?
Thanks

Hi Chris,
In the following file (which can be copied to the wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates to stop changes when the plugin is updated) is where all the widget code is found: /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates/widget.php
See this Pastebin for the code: http://pastebin.com/ux9LJ7S6

Dean, That worked like a charm.
Now is there a way to get my single day events to display just the single day? Like an “If-Then” or something? The two day events look perfect but now a single day event displays like “November 27-27 2014”
Beyond my limited coding skills at this point.

Hi Chris,
I think this is what you’re looking to do:
start_date == $event->end_date) {
// normal single day code to display the date goes here
} else {
// more than one day code to display the dates goes here
}
?>

Josh,
How would I integrate that into this bit of code. Sorry I’m a coding idiot. I tried to figure it out myself but BAD thing Happened:)

There’s multiple ways to do this, but here is an example:
< a href="< ?php echo $registration_url; ?>">< ?php echo stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) ?>< ?php
if ($event->start_date == $event->end_date) { ?>start_date) ?>< ?php } else { ?>start_date) ) ?> - end_date) ) ?>< ?php } ?>
Replace line 145 of the widget.php template file with the above. I’ve spaced that out a little so you can follow how it works a little easier.
That code uses the code @Dean provided when the $event->start_date and $event->end_date values don’t match, otherwise it will use the default output.
