We have an event that is scheduled for 5 days in a row (Monday - Friday) from 9:00am - 12:00pm.
We want to have
  • Display (ideally) one 'banner' item that goes across the entire week (I know there are others who have asked this as a feature request - just adding my 'vote')
    • OR display once on each day that it occurs (clicking on any one of them goes to the main registration for the event).
  • ONE registration for the entire series of events
    • They should NOT be able to choose to register for just one day - it is a week-long event
  • Display date/time in the 'Timeline' menu option as 2021-08-16 - 2021-08-20  - 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
But I can't seem to figure how to do this.
If I set the Event start Date for Monday at 9 and Event End Date for Friday at 12 I get the the proper display on the calendar, and registration works properly however on the Timeline displays the date/time as:
  • 2021-08-16 9:00 am - 2021-08-20 12:00 pm
Which, at least in the USA, would be interpreted as starting at 9am on the 16th (Monday) and going for 5 full days until noon on Friday (the 20th).

In looking at the output, if the date and time outputs were in their own divs, then it would be easy to re-arrange them based on the desired formatting, but I can't see any way to make this work easily.

Is there some setting that I'm just missing for the display of the Event List menu type or is there a global or event setting that I missed that allows me to set the way that the start/end dates are displayed?

Hello

On timeline layout, it will be displayed as a single event only. I don't understand how you want to change it? Could you please explain more details?

Regards,

Tuan

Sorry, that was a bit 'wordy' and not clear.

On the timeline view, I just want the date/time to display as:
  • YYYY-MM-DD - YYYY-MM-DD   -  hh:mm - hh:mm
instead of the current display of:
  • YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm  - YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm

But I might need to do that at the event-level, rather than a global override, because some events would need to still be displayed using the current formatting.

If it can't be done at the event level right now, I'd still want to know if there is a way to do this at the global level (via an override maybe?).

Hello

Yes. You would need to do it using override. Could you please try to override the layout file components/com_eventbooking/themes/default/common/events_timeline.php to make it works like that?
