Author Topic: Event Reg Email Template: start time error (Read 544 times)

Our event registration templates are dropping the start time, so instead of showing "September 12, 2012 3 PM - 8 PM," attendees are getting "September 12, 2012- 8PM." Yikes.

I've found the relevant email template, and it looks like the code below is the section that produces the date and time. However, I'm really green on templates. Can anyone advise?

Thanks in advance.

Code: [Select]

{$event.event_start_date|crmDate}{if $event.event_end_date}-{if $event.event_end_date|date_format:"%Y%m%d" == $event.event_start_date|date_format:"%Y%m%d"}{$event.event_end_date|crmDate:0:1}{else}{$event.event_end_date|crmDate}{/if}{/if}

is this in the email or on the info / registration pages?

if the latter, can you please reproduce this on the demo server

thanx

Apologies for the confusion. It's in the email template: CiviCRM » Administer CiviCRM » Message Templates, System Workflow Templates, Events - Registration Confirmation and Receipt (on-line). Occurs on about line 49 in the text version.

For now, I've modified the template to only show the date:

Code: [Select]

{$event.event_start_date|crmDate}

Since currently all our events are one day meetings, this works... but I'd like to at least show the start and end times.

Thanks for the assistance.

Folks, I'm back. Turns out the same problem exists in the registration template as well. So, per Lobo's suggestion, I tested this on the demo server, and it works correctly there:

My client's event: November 7, 2012 through 11:30 PM
(Should say November 7, 2012 6 PM through 11:30 PM

After some digging, it looks like the template for this (in Joomla) is ./administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/templates/CRM/event/page/EventInfo.tpl

Code: [Select]

<div class="crm-section event_date_time-section">
<div class="label"><label>{ts}When{/ts}</label></div>
<div class="content">
<abbr class="dtstart" title="{$event.event_start_date|crmDate}">
{$event.event_start_date|crmDate}</abbr>
{if $event.event_end_date}
&nbsp; {ts}through{/ts} &nbsp;
{* Only show end time if end date = start date *}
{if $event.event_end_date|date_format:"%Y%m%d" == $event.event_start_date|date_format:"%Y%m%d"}
<abbr class="dtend" title="{$event.event_end_date|crmDate:0:1}">
{$event.event_end_date|crmDate:0:1}
</abbr>
{else}
<abbr class="dtend" title="{$event.event_end_date|crmDate}">
{$event.event_end_date|crmDate}
</abbr>
{/if}
{/if}
</div>

But... how to fix this so it displays the start time?

As always, thanks in advance.

Followup: I found a piece of shoe leather, bit down hard on it, and changed line 48 in the template to

Code: [Select]

{$event.event_start_date|crmDate}, {$event.event_start_date|crmDate:0:1}</abbr>

I'm now seeing both date and time. However, since I can't find much documentation for the crmDate and crmDate:0:1 functions, I don't know what collateral damage may have occurred.

Maybe I'm okay here, but if anyone has further info, I'd be appreciative.
