Issue with date display for events spanning 2 months

    2 years, 10 months ago

    I’m using the [events_list] shortcode to display events on the page. 

      <div id="upcoming-events" class="upcoming-events active">
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[events_list tag="-132,-154"]'); // 132 account2, 154 live; ?>
  </div>

    The issue is that when the event spans 2 months, the end date does not show the month.

    First Steps To Success – April 2022
    April 29 – 1, 2022
    6:00pm CDT America/Chicago

    How can I get the date to show the end month if it’s different than the start month (April 29 – May 1)?

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

    I found where the date settings are set. 

    <p class="event-date">#_{F j}{is_long} - #@_{j}{/is_long}, #Y<br />
                    #_{g:ia T e}</p>

    How would I add an ‘if’ statement in to show the end month if it’s different than the start month?

    I added an additional conditional placeholder and support for nesting them.

    add_action('em_event_output_show_condition', 'my_em_two_month_event_date_show_condition', 1, 4);
function my_em_two_month_event_date_show_condition($show, $condition, $full_match, $EM_Event){
	$eventStart = date_create($EM_Event->event_start_date);
	$eventEnd = date_create($EM_Event->event_end_date);

    if (( date_format($eventStart,"F") != date_format($eventEnd,"F") ) && preg_match('/is_2months/i',$condition)) {
        $show = true;
    }
    return $show;
}

    New date display format

    <p class="event-date">#_{F j}{is_long} - {is_2months}#@_{F }{/is_2months}#@_{j}{/is_long}, #Y<br />
                    #_{g:ia T e}</p>
