I’m using the table template add-on to create a custom list of events. I’d like to have a new column that shows the number of days that an event lasts (our courses are 1 – 5 day in length).
I’m guessing that I need to subtract $datetime->start_date_and_time from datetime->end_date_and_time but I’m not having any luck. Any suggestions?

Hi there,
The reason that you’re not able to get those two methods to work in a math equation is because those methods output strings. To do a calculation requires integers, so you could use the get_raw() method to get the timestamps in integers. Or you can use the EE_Datetime class’s length() method and it will return the length of the event’s date time and it will do the calculation for you.
e.g.
<?php echo $datetime->length('days'); ?>
