Add a text string to the time of an event (css?) was created by Joyce van Heerden
I would like to add the word "uur" to the time of an event, so that - for example - the date/time for the first event in the attached screenshot reads "14-04-2017 12:00 uur".
Is that possible? Is it something I can do myself?
Actually, as I'm typing this, I occurs to me that maybe I can do it with an :after pseudo element in css? Can I target that instance of date/time with the necessary specificity?
Please advise!
Thanks, cheers, j.

In [Event Booking -> Configuration - General tab], you can add your custom text into the [Date Format] or [Event Date Format ] or [Event Time Format] fields by escaping each character you want to add with a \ (backslash).

For example, if the current Date Format string is "d-m-Y H:i", change it to "d-m-Y H:i \u\u\r".

I only know about it because I muddle around in PHP -- I actually had to check the PHP manual and look up how to do it as it was!

If you want more info on how to further customize date/time formatting, see the date() function in the PHP manual at php.net/manual/en/function.date.php . I found the info about escaping characters in example 4 .

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't even have known the PHP manual was the place to look :) .
But I know now, and I'll know the next time I run into a similar question.
Thanks again!

ps I looked you up online at St.T - amazing how different EB can look... Seeing how others tackled the styling is very inspirational!

That's why forums exist :)

There is a tool-tip that appears when you mouse-over the Date/Time Format in EB's Config with a link to the PHP manual, but unfortunately you can't actually click on that tool-tip link because the tool-tip disappears when you move onto the tool-tip :pinch:

@Tuan -- any suggestions on how to fix it so that people can click the link?



PS: If you ever want to know how I did something with my EB install, just ask ! I've made a fair number of code customizations and added a lot of CSS in order to make things integrate better with my site (as well as make it bend to my whims).

Honestly, I am not sure if the link in tooltip is clickable. Maybe for that, just display the instruction under the title of the config option

Regards,

Tuan
