# start & end: same day, same hour

 * Hallo,
    I think in function em_display_event_date there is one important case
   missing. If start and end are on the same day but the hour is also the same. 
   This would be if there is only a starttime with open end.
 * Now you would have an output like “05.11.2015 19:00 – 19:00” but “05.11.2015 
   19:00” would be much nicer. I have many events with just a start-time.

 * Hallo,
    until this is solved… I would like to have all events an all-day-event.
   Is there a possibility to set “all-day” as default, so that I can hide the checkbox
   via CSS? Perhaps via function.php?
 * Thanks,
    Timon

 * stumbled upon the same and seems to be open until now 🙂
 * here is a simple hack:
 * in “template-functions.php”
 * line #433 add:
 *     ```
       // is not all day, one day, same hours // ERICH
       		elseif ( ! $all_day_event && ! empty( $date['start'] ) && ! empty( $date['end'] ) && ( $date['start'] == $date['end'] ) ) {
       			$date_output = em_format_date( $date['start'], 'datetime', $format );
       		}
       ```
   
 * **before**
 *     ```
       // is not all day, one day, different hours
       		elseif ( ! $all_day_event && ! empty( $date['start'] ) && ! empty( $date['end'] ) ) {
       			// one day only
       			if ( em_format_date( $date['start'], 'date' ) === em_format_date( $date['end'], 'date' ) ) {
       				$date_output = em_format_date( $date['start'], 'datetime', $format ) . ' ' . $args['separator'] . ' ' . em_format_date( $date['end'], 'time', $format );
       			}
       			// more than one day
       			else {
       				$date_output = em_format_date( $date['start'], 'datetime', $format ) . ' ' . $args['separator'] . ' ' . em_format_date( $date['end'], 'datetime', $format );
       			}
       		}
       ```
