    Hi, I am using the events list on my sidebar widget and right now it shows the start and end dates of the events, even if they occur within a day. Bottom line is it’s very texty. Can I show simply the day in a 1/1/12 format instead full on text for start AND end times?
    Also is there a way to display simply the calendar on the widget sidebar as it displays on the generic events page?
    Thanks!

  • Hi there kardag. Thanks for reaching out, and for your use of The Events Calendar. Have you tried a template override, to modify the look of the widget? Sounds like, if I understand you correctly, that should do the trick. It’s detailed here: http://tri.be/faq/what-are-template-overrides-and-how-do-i-do-them/. PRO users also have the option to do this via checkboxes determining what is shown/what isn’t, without requiring a template override, as per this screenshot: http://d.pr/i/yrZM.

    The PRO release also includes a basic calendar widget, that appears like so: http://d.pr/i/8wQ4. This may eventually make its way to the free release as well but there are no plans for that in the immediate future.

    Hope this helps. If you have any other questions or comments here, let me know and I’ll get you what you need.

    kardag -> Did you figure it out?

    Create a new folder titled “events” in your theme directory and copy events-list-load-widget-display.php to the new folder. Edit the file inside WordPress (appearance->editor->events-list-load-widget-display.php)

    Replace the line echo ' – <br/>'. tribe_get_end_date($post->ID);

    With this echo '';

    And you have a nice clean widget again 😀

    Best regards

    Thanks for the assist here, madsrh123! Greatly appreciate it and I’m sure kardag does too.

    Hey again Kardag, I’m going to mark this RESOLVED since I haven’t heard anything back and will assume as a result you got this sorted. Please let me know if that’s not the case.

    Hi. So sorry! It took forever to notice the response and for me to try it out. It worked! Thanks so much to madsrh123. I would have gotten nowhere if it was not for the actual explanation. For me, I was staring at the “how to do template overrides”, and didn’t have the time to “figure it out” with that broad info. Getting the direct instructions saved a big hassle.
    Thanks

    kardag -> No problem, just glad I could help 😉

    Excellent! Thanks for confirming, kardag…and thanks to madsrh123 for the assist. Have a great one folks.
