Hi Karen,

The time can be added in fairly easily to the event list, but you will need to edit a template file to do so.

Copy these two files:

/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates/event_list.php
/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates/event_list_display.php

The need to go in this location.

/wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/

Then edit event_list_display.php and at approx line 131 just after the dat information add the following

<p id="event_date-<?php echo $event_id ?>"><span class="section-title"><?php _e('Time:', 'event_espresso'); ?></span>  <?php echo event_date_display($event->start_time, get_option('time_format')) ?>

That will add the start time into the list.

The widget is similar. Copy over the widget.php file and edit line 130 so it reads

<li><a href="<?php echo $registration_url; ?>"><?php echo stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) ?> - <span class="widget-event-date"><?php echo event_date_display($event->start_date) ?> - <?php echo event_date_display($event->start_time, get_option('time_format')); ?></span></a>

If you are not sure what to do with all this code, you may need assistance from your web developer.

Hi,

for the first step, do you mean the following?
1) copying these two files:
/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates/event_list.php
/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates/event_list_display.php
2) paste them to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/

Yes that’s correct.

IF so, i made a mistake by overwriting /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/.
1) how can i recover everything under /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates/ ?

Recovery may be difficult. If you had any modifications in there then you would need to check if you had a backup (often backup plugins back up the uploads directory). If you didn’t have any modifications then it should not be an issue, as there would be nothing important in there.

2) what does the directory do?

The uploads/espresso/ directory is there so that you can copy over template files and modify them. That way updating the plugin will not delete your modifications.

Hi,

You’re welcome.

In the widget code you edited earlier you need to tweak it slightly. Chaneg it to this

<li><a href="<?php echo $registration_url; ?>"><?php echo stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) ?> - <span class="widget-event-date"><?php echo event_date_display($event->start_date, 'd-m') ?> - <?php echo event_date_display($event->start_time, get_option('time_format')); ?></span></a>

The important part here is the ‘d-m’ bit. As it is that will show 04-06 (4th June). You can modify the style by using the PHP date formats (http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php)

e.g.

‘D jS M’ equals Wed 4th Jun
‘F jS’ equals June 4th
