End date/time not showing up in published events

  • Hi there. We are using the free version of Events Organiser with the ‘Responsive Theme’. It all works really well for us apart from one thing. When we set up an event we put in the Start Date/time and the End date/time but when we publish the event only the Start Date/time shows up. Is there a way that we can get the End Date/time to show up when the event is published or is this something that’s only available for the Pro version? We are considering purchasing the Pro version. If we do, will all our events that we have published or are in draft format stay as they are? One more thing, The Start time shows up in the Calendar view and the End time shows up in the Calendar view when you hover over the event.

    Here’s a link to one of our Published Events: https://www.tenantcentral.org.uk/events/event/scrutiny-lounge-northampton/

    Here’s link to the Calendar view of the Published Events: https://www.tenantcentral.org.uk/whats-on-calendar/

    Cheers – Dane

    Hi Dane,

    You can show the end date in the free version. You just need to copy the template event-meta-single-event.php from event-organiser/templates/ into your theme and edit it.

    By default it only displays the start date, but you can also include the end date with something like:

    <li><strong>End:</strong> <?php eo_the_end( $date_format ); ?> </li>

    Hi Stephen, thanks for your reply about displaying the end dates. When you say ‘include something like’:

    • End: <?php eo_the_end( $date_format ); ?>

      • – do you mean I should add that to the event template? Sorry, my knowledge of code doesn’t stretch to this level. Is it possible for you to do it for me if we paid for your services / time? Sorry, not sure if this is the place where I should ask about paying for services?

      Also, one of the people who add events to the site has picked up a problem. He recently added a new event and tried to ‘Add media’ using the ‘add media’ tab but nothing happens. He picked this up on Friday 5th April. The ‘add media’ tab works fine elsewhere in the site e.g. in new posts. I also tried to add a link to a document in the media library using ‘insert link’ from the editor and this doesn’t seem to work when in events either (but works fine elsewhere). When I try to add a link and check ‘open in a new window’, then click ‘insert a new link’ I get taken back to the list of posts in the site so I can’t save the link. I have been able to add a link in events just using html code though.

      If we went with the pro version of the plugin would this keep all the events that we have in the site at the moment?

      Cheers – Dane

    Hi Dane,

    Yes indeed. If you’d like to hire my services, feel free to drop an e-mail via this contact form, and detail what you’d like done. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible with a quote.

    That’s a very odd error; media and the tiny MCE editor are all handled by WordPress, so typically if it works for posts, it should work for events. Though from what you’re describing, it sounds like there is a javascript error. I could take a look at that as well.

    Regarding Pro, absolutely. Pro should be installed alongside the free version, and you won’t loose any data in doing so.

    Hi Steven

    Just picked up your reply now. For some reason I didn’t get an email notification. I will use the contact form to get in touch. In the meantime, do you think it is worth us upgrading to the pro version then? If so, is this compatible with 3.8.3? If we install the pro version, will you be able to sort out the display of the end time? I will contact you via the form on this issue?

    Cheers – Dane
