 * Hello!
 * I’m trying to figure out how to output the dates in my custom event list template
   with **eo_format_datetime_range **like shown on [http://plugin226.rssing.com/chan-12548603/all_p150.html](http://plugin226.rssing.com/chan-12548603/all_p150.html).
 * If I echo $date1 or $date2 in the template, the dates are shown and are correct,
   but the use of **echo eo_format_datetime_range( $date1, $date2, $format, $seperator
   = ‘ – ‘, $is_rtl = null );** always fails.
 * Here is my template:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Add this to your theme for it to take affect.
        */
   
       global $eo_event_loop,$eo_event_loop_args;
   
       //Date % Time format for events
       $date_format = get_option('date_format');
       $time_format = get_option('time_format');
   
       //The list ID / classes
       $id = ( $eo_event_loop_args['id'] ? 'id="'.$eo_event_loop_args['id'].'"' : '' );
       $classes = $eo_event_loop_args['class'];
   
       $current_month = false;
   
       ?>
   
       <?php if( $eo_event_loop->have_posts() ): ?>
   
               <?php while( $eo_event_loop->have_posts() ): $eo_event_loop->the_post(); ?>
   
                   <?php 
                   if( $current_month != eo_get_the_start('m') ){
   
                           //End previous group
                           echo '</ul>';
                           //Start new group
                           echo '<h3>'.eo_get_the_start('F Y').'</h3>';
                           echo '<ul>';
                   }
                   $current_month = eo_get_the_start('m');
   
                   //Generate HTML classes for this event
                   $eo_event_classes = eo_get_event_classes(); 
   
                   //For non-all-day events, include time format
                   ///$format = ( eo_is_all_day() ? $date_format : $date_format. '--' .$time_format );
   
                   ?>
   
                   <li class="<?php echo esc_attr(implode(' ',$eo_event_classes)); ?>" >
                       <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" >
                            <?php the_title(); ?>
                       </a> 
       <?php
       $date1 = eo_get_the_start('jS F Y');
       $date2 = eo_get_the_end('jS F Y');
       $format = 'jS F Y'; //Format date as "1st June 2015";
   
       //3.0.0+ only:
       echo eo_format_datetime_range( $date1, $date2, $format, $seperator = ' &ndash; ', $is_rtl = null );
       ?>
                       <?php echo __('<br>','eventorganiser') . ' '.eo_get_the_start($format). ' to ' .eo_get_the_end($time_format); ?>
                   </li>
   
               <?php endwhile; ?>
   
       <?php elseif( ! empty($eo_event_loop_args['no_events']) ): ?>
   
           <ul id="<?php echo esc_attr($id);?>" class="<?php echo esc_attr($classes);?>" > 
               <li class="eo-no-events" > <?php echo $eo_event_loop_args['no_events']; ?> </li>
           </ul>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Hopefully somebody can help me with this as I am no programmer.
 * Thanks a lot!
