How to add starting and ending time on events of mutiple dates

    Hi there!

    On one of our websites we use Events Manager for events of mutiple dates. On the starting date the event starts at 20:00 and the last day the event finishes at 12:00.

    When you insert the dates with these times in Events Manager, this is how it will be presented on the website:

    Date and time
    Date: 13-03-2020 until 15-03-2020
    Time: 20:00 until 12:00

    We believe for a visitor not very clear…

    Using the “whole day” description is not the right solution, since it is not the complete information a visitor should get and not clear either.

    How can this be changed so that it is clear to the visitor that the event start on 13-03-2020 at 20:00 and finishes on 15-03-2020 at 12:00? Both on the website and in the corresponding e-mails for confirmation?

    Thanks,
    Monique

    Hiya,

    You can change all the formatting used by EM in the settings. Go to Events > Settings > Formatting.

    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply John!

    I had a look into this before, however my main problem is that PHP date syntax is not really my cup of tea ;-(

    Can you maybe help a littlebit? If for example I want to show on an event:

    Date and time
    Start of event: 13-03-2020 at 20:00
    End of event: 15-03-2020 at 12:00

    How should I configure this in my settings?

    Monique,

    You can’t do this out of the box due to the fact there is no place holder for Start & End Dates, so you would have to create 2 custom place holders for a Start Date & End Date.

    To create a custom placeholder, like at the page below

    Good Luck

    Hey Monique,

    You should be able to use the start and end times listed here:

    The problem, as tricer mentioned, is the separate start and end dates which would need some custom coding.

    Thanks both for your replies!

    I will use the existing placeholders and somehow find a way to work around it to make clear for the visitor what the event is all about 😉
