Event article date and time not displaying?

romolo

Hi,

How can we add the date/time to the section displayed in the screenshot attached?
The date/time is inserted in the event info tab, but only the location is shown in the frontend.

Please advise.
Thanks

Hi romolo

You can try with this trick

Edit this file /templates/ja_charity/html/layouts/joomla/content/item/event.php and make a backup of it saving it in case something goes wrong.

Then around line 187 find this code

<address>
<strong><i class="fa fa-building"></i> <?php echo $item->params->get('ctm_venue'); ?></strong><br />
<i class="fa fa-location-arrow"></i> <?php echo $item->params->get('ctm_addr1'); ?>  <?php echo $item->params->get('ctm_addr2'); ?>
</address>

Immediatly above it add this

<date>
<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> <?php echo JText::_('Start date'); ?> <?php echo $item->params->get('ctm_start'); ?><br/>
	<i class="fa fa-calendar"></i> <?php echo JText::_('End date'); ?> <?php echo $item->params->get('ctm_end'); ?> <br/>
</date>

It will be as img below

Hope it helps

pavit Hi Pavit,

Many thanks for your solution, this has worked perfectly...
Is it possible to adjust the PHP date format?

Many thanks for your support.

You can open this file: root/templates/ja_charity/contenttype/types/event.xml

Look for these fields:

<field name="ctm_start"
	   type="calendar"
	   default=""
	   label="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_START_TIME_LABEL"
	   description="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_START_TIME_DESC"/>
<field name="ctm_end"
	   type="calendar"
	   default=""
	   label="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_END_TIME_LABEL"
	   description="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_END_TIME_DESC"/>

change it to:

<field name="ctm_start"
	   type="calendar"
	   default=""
	   format="%d.%b.%y"
	   label="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_START_TIME_LABEL"
	   description="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_START_TIME_DESC"/>
<field name="ctm_end"
	   type="calendar"
	   default=""
	   format="%d.%b.%y"
	   label="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_END_TIME_LABEL"
	   description="PLG_JACONTENT_TYPE_END_TIME_DESC"/>

You can change the format as you wish via the 'format' param.

saguaros Hi Saguaros, thank you for your response, we have made the change, but it doesn't seem to have changed the date, please see the updated link in the original post.

Thanks

Perhaps it's cached, kindly check above link, it's showing the format you added now.
