• I’ve made some adjustments (I’m no coder…so I apologize in advance) to the events module to suit my needs. Unfortunately, the events are out of order. You can view it here: http://www.harlowspub.com/music-events/

    And here is the code I’ve modified:

    Alright, this forum is dead. But in case someone sees this, I’ve made some progress.
    Once again, I am not a coder…and I’m flying by the seat of my pants.

    I’ve modified the code some more and now have the months in ASC order, but the days within the months are DESC (??)

    Code below

    load_plugin_textdomain(DMS3_FBEVENTS_DOMAIN, false, basename(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/languages');

     *   $d = substr($yyyy_mm_ddT, 8, 2);
     *   if ('' == $m | '' == $d | '' == $y):
     *       return '';
     *   else:
     *       return $m . '-' . $d . '-' . $y;
     *   endif;
    }*/

    	$d=date("l, F j, Y", strtotime($d)); //format date output
    	$t12  = date("g:i a", strtotime($t)); //convert from 24 to 12 hour time
    	return $d." - ".$t12;
    }

    Dear shyfrog,
    This forum is not dead.
    However the time I can focus on free development is limited.
    I’ll try to introduce some changes on the next release of this plugin.
    Your sort order does’nt work as you are sorting by small fields and not based on the whole date.
