Events App

Is it possible to hide/omit the event time so only date appears?

e.g.

Tuesday, 25th October 2016 6:17 PM (only want to show Tuesday, 25th October 2016)

<div class="holder">
        <div id="intro">


            <?php       
                perch_events_custom(array(
                    'filter'=>'eventSlug',
                    'match'=>'eq',
                    'value'=>perch_get('event'),
                    'template'=>'events/listing/event-detail.html'
                ));
            ?>      
        </div>

    </div>

Thanks

Yes that should be possible. Can you post your event-detail.html template?

Hi Mike

Here it is ..

<p class="dtstart"><span class="value-title" title="<perch:events id="eventDateTime" format="c" />"><perch:events id="eventDateTime" format="%c" /></span></p>

<div class="description"><perch:events id="eventDescHTML" type="textarea" textile="true" editor="markitup" encode="false" /></div>

<p class="category"><perch:events id="category_names" encode="false" /></p>

<perch:if exists="image">
    <img src="<perch:events id="image" type="image" label="Image" width="640" crop="true" />" alt="<perch:events id="eventTitle" />" />
</perch:if>

</div>

Thanks Bernard

Hi Bernard,

You need to change the format of the eventDateTime, using strftime. I think something like this should give you what you are after:

<perch:events id="eventDateTime" format="%A %d %B %Y" />

You can read more about strftime here: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

Many thanks Mike.

Will give that a go and let you know how it goes.

It should have done - what was output to the page when you used it?
