Hi,
I’m trying to create a custom weekly calendar from events which all have single Datetimes, and all events span 6 – 8 weeks (they are courses of weekly classes), I need to access and test the following.
1. Event Start – Day
2. Event Start – Time
3. Event Start – Date
4. Event End – Time
5. Event End – Date
I see that espresso_event_date(); displays the start time and date but I’m not sure how to break the date up into the pieces so I can test and display something like….
All events on Monday, orderby time, if now is after Event Start Date and before Event Start End. I also need to access the Event Start Time and Event End Time so I can calculate the duration of a single class.
I’ve looked at ee4-themes-templates but again I’m in need of a little help.
Many Thanks!

Instead of using espresso_event_date();, use espresso_event_date_obj();, like so:
$datetime = espresso_event_date_obj($post->ID);
$start_day = $datetime->start_date('l');
$start_time = $datetime->start_time('g:i a');
$start_date = $datetime->start_date('F j, Y');
$end_time = $datetime->end_time('g:i a');
$end_date = $datetime->end_date('F j, Y');
Note that you may want to vary the format requested, so that if you are trying to order by time, you would want to use 24 hour time. (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php)
