event-meta-event-single.php

  • For a part-day event that crosses midnight the date seems to be formatted by eo_format_event_occurrence() in event-meta-event-single.php as:

    Date: July 19, 2016 9:00 pm – 20, 2016 1:00 am

    The second July is missing.

    The same formatting (missing second instance of the month) is present in recurring events under “Upcoming Dates.”

    Just wondering if I have something set incorrectly or if this might be a bug in the function.

    Thanks.

    No, you’ve not set anything incorrectly. Nor is it really a bug (it’s behaving as is intended), but the implementation is perhaps a bit naive. The function formats a date range given a date format by grouping the left-most and right-most strings if they are the same for both dates.

    In this case, ‘July’ is in both the start and end date, and is at the left most part of the string. They two dates ‘diverge’ and the date (19 vs 20), which is why the split there.

    So, for example if instead the event ended at 10pm on the 19th you would git:

    July 19, 2016 9:00 pm – 20, 2016 1:00 am

    instead of

    July 19, 2016 9:00 pm – 10:00 pm

    which is easier to read than

    July 19, 2016 9:00 pm – July 19, 2016 10:00 pm

    You can, though, edit the templates to replace

    echo eo_format_event_occurrence();

    with

    echo eo_get_the_start() . ' - ' . eo_get_the_end();

    if you wanted to ensure both the start and end date are given in full.
