Hello, if i use multiple event times, how can i display the times without select box? I would like to display each event day with a seperate time. E.g.:
02/02/2013 – 8:00 – 12:00
&
03/02/2013 – 10:00 – 14:00
It would be easy to display the times as a list but that is not sufficient here.
(Latest EE and WP, new install)

Hello Nadair,

We have a shortcode that might do what you are wanting.

If you are looking to do it programmatically, as in one of the php templates, then I whipped up a simple function that you can put in the EE custom functions file, or in your theme’s functions.php file:

It’s a little crude, in that the same start and end dates will appear in every entry, but it will allow you to access all the start and end times by looping over the results. It gives an output of:

$temp = get_event_date_times($event_id);
var_dump($temp);
array(2) { 
  [0]=> array(4) {
     ["start_date"]=> string(10) "2013-10-31"
     ["end_date"]=> string(10) "2013-10-31"
     ["start_time"]=> string(5) "14:20"
     ["end_time"]=> string(5) "14:20"
  } 
  [1]=> array(4) { 
    ["start_date"]=> string(10) "2013-10-31" 
    ["end_date"]=> string(10) "2013-10-31"
    ["start_time"]=> string(5) "08:00"
    ["end_time"]=> string(5) "17:00" 
  }
}
