Event Date and Time in Event Blurb

  • Is there a way to automatically add the event time and date to the start of the event notes so people don’t need to open the event for full details? We run similar programs at various locations on the same day (or same program again on different days) and it would be beneficial for our patrons to be able to just skim the event list for day and time so they only have to open the event they really want for full info.
    I’ve tried inserting the #_EVENTDATES and #_EVENTTIMES short codes in the notes field but it doesn’t seem to recognise them.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hello,
    Is this the events list page?
    I think you have added custom formatting for the events list at Events -> Settings -> Formatting -> Default event list format section. You can add #_EVENTDATES and #_EVENTTIMES there.

    Hi,
    Yeah it’s the event list page.
    At the moment it shows Image, Title, EventNotes You can’t actually see date and time unless you open each individual event.
    I’ve had a play with the formatting of the event default but can’t get it to add the date and time so it shows in the event listing.
    I’ll admit my coding is pretty rudimentary.
    Was hoping to get it to show Image, Title, Date/Time, EventNotes (or auto add date and time inside the notes)
    Appreciate the assistance.
    Cheers,
    Jamie

    Hi,

    did you already tried adding #_EVENTDATES in your Events -> Settings -> Formatting -> Events -> Default event list format as mentioned above?

    Morning,
    Yep, I tried
    <td> #_EVENTLINK #_EVENTDATES
    {has_location}<br/><i>#_LOCATIONNAME, #_LOCATIONTOWN #_LOCATIONSTATE</i>{/has_location}
    </td>

    and

    <td> #_EVENTLINK
    {has_location}<br/><i>#_LOCATIONNAME, #_LOCATIONTOWN #_LOCATIONSTATE</i>{/has_location}
    </td>#_EVENTDATES

    and

    </td> <td> #_EVENTLINK
    {has_location}<br/>#_EVENTDATES<i>#_LOCATIONNAME, #_LOCATIONTOWN #_LOCATIONSTATE</i>{/has_location}
    </td> </tr>

    Or am I missing something?

    I also tried in the Single event and the event except formats but all I managed to do was add the time and date again on the full event (when you click and open up the page) but nothing shows on the event listing

    Thanks
