Author Topic: Display Event Date but Not Event Time (Read 277 times)

Use case:

Client is using events for class registrations. In the event info field they will list all class dates (they are NOT requesting repeating events functionality). Also in the event info the time the class meets will be listed (e.g. 7:30 PM ET to 9:30 PM ET).

For the event start/end field they just want the first and last calendar dates for the class to be listed (e.g. Feb. 19, 2015 - June 4, 2015).

Any ideas how this can be achieved?

The site is CiviCRM 4.5.0 with Drupal 7.31.

One easy way to do this is with a template customization.

On this line https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/blob/master/templates/CRM/Event/Page/EventInfo.tpl#L133 changing the smarty variable modifier (http://www.smarty.net/docsv2/en/language.modifiers.tpl).

You could potentially only do this for events of a particular type if they are using it for other events.

You might want to read up on template customisation best practice in general if you don't know how to do that already.
