Hi Renee,

We generally do not provide customisations on the forums as it is not something we can support, however we can point you in the right direction.

I would like the times for both start and end times to look like, for example: 6:30pm NOT in the current 24 hour clock format that is showing.

You can use:

$datetime->e_start_time('g:i a');

To force the start_time to be displayed using a specific format.

‘g:i a’ is hours:mins am/pm

See here for more info on date format and which values to use:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

So you can use something like:

<td class="start_time event-<?php echo $post->ID; ?>"><?php $datetime->e_start_time('g:i a'); ?></td>

Where I have broken out our upcoming classes by category, and the table columns do not align among the various tables. Is there any way to achieve visual alignment without making the table non-responsive?

Its because of the Event Title column adjusting based on the length of the event title. You’ll need to specify a size for all of the tables to use, so something like:

td.event_title {
    width: 25%;
}

Setting the size to a percentage should keep the table responsive.

Any modification from the original behaviour of the plugin/template/code would be classed as customisation. The template you are using has had the start_time and end_time added to it, therefore the template is customised from the original.

Using built in functions within Event Espresso to display the data how you prefer is still considered customisation.

The reason my code did not work is I had assumed you were using EE4, your using EE3 so I do apologise.

So knowing that I had another look at the template.

You’ll need to change this code:

<td class="venue_title venue-<?php echo $event->id;?>"><?php echo stripslashes($event->start_time/*.' '.$event->start_time, get_option('date_format').' '.get_option('time_format')*/) ?></td>
                        <td class="venue_title venue-<?php echo $event->id;?>"><?php echo stripslashes($event->end_time/*.' '.$event->end_time, get_option('date_format').' '.get_option('time_format')*/) ?></td>

To something like this:

<td class="venue_title venue-<?php echo $event->id;?>"><?php echo event_date_display($event->start_time, 'g:i a') ?></td>
<td class="venue_title venue-<?php echo $event->id;?>"><?php echo event_date_display($event->end_time, 'g:i a') ?></td>

Which will output the table like this – http://take.ms/UE3Gn

Is that what you are looking for?

You may also want to change the class used on each of those rows, currently they both use ‘venue_title’ and ‘venue-{event_id}’, to target those using CSS you may want to change those to event_start_time and event_end_time or similar.

You’re most welcome, Renee.

I’ll mark this thread resolved.
