Change time format to a.m./p.m. WITH periods, lowercase was created by jgribble
How to do? I think this requires PHP knowledge? The default value is g:i a.
Thanks!

Hello
You can go to Events Booking -> Configuration, look at Event Date Format and Time Format config options, change g:i a from there to H:i and it should be fine

Hi Tuan, thanks for the reply. So sorry that H:i doesn't work. What we get as am and pm. Not a.m. and p.m. Which is U.S. style time formatting. Any other ideas?

You need a.m and p.m ? If so, I'm afraid of it's not possible

After reviewing PHP time formats, I agree it's not possible. However it is the preferred time format for all users in the U.S.; so I hope you will consider making it possible in future versions. Sorry that English is one of the most fluid languages on the planet. There are a lot of different views on which style is "correct." This one, with periods, is standard for all U.S. publishers of newspapers, journals and magazines. It is based on style rules adopted by the Associated Press.
Take care and be well,

This is something handled by PHP internal, so we don't have a solution for it unless re-writing many code
So for now, please use it as how it's

Of course. I just hope you'll consider it for the long term, because it is important to your U.S. customers - at least, those of us who know the correct style and have picky clients who care about following the rules of good grammar, punctuation and spelling!

To be honest, in many years of Events Booking life, this is the first time I heard about this request, so maybe the format is OK for most of customers, I'm unsure.
So I will have to rely on PHP internal for now. If there are more customers need this option, I will try to find a solution in the future

I believe you, totally. "Back in the day" I was a newspaper editor. It taught me strict respect for the rules. I am still a little obsessive. I admit it. No worries, thanks.
