Custom date and time format

[benoitchantre]

Use the date and time format from the settings

[benoitchantre]

The date and time format aren't internationalized yet in the edit view.

[benoitchantre]

Date Month Year format can be set with add_filter( 'be_event_set_dmy_format', '__return_true' );
24 hour clock can be set with add_filter( 'be_event_set_24_hour_clock', '__return_true' );

For colums, custom formats can be used too with the following filters:

• be_event_columns_date_format
• be_event_columns_time_format

@billerickson Let me know if you some improvements should be done.

[benoitchantre]

Custom date and time format for calendar view and widget calendar are not done at the moment.

[billerickson]

Instead of having a true/false filter to swap between date formats, why not make the format itself filterable?

$date_format    = apply_filters( 'be_events_calendar_date_format', 'm/d/Y' );

That way you can change it to any format you prefer - you're not limited to two choices.

[benoitchantre]

Because we have different constraints based on the location where the date is displayed :

• columns: we can display the format we want
• fields: we don't have much space and the datepicker doesn't accept all formats

For the event list, there are 2 filters :

• be_event_columns_date_format
• be_event_columns_time_format

Let me know if it makes sense or if we should replace be_event_set_dmy_format, by something like could bebe_event_field_date_format which would accept a custom date format (same principle for time format).

If you have a bit of time @billerickson, can we discuss further to find the best way to handle that? I don't know if you have seen my last comment and if you agree or not with my explanation.

[billerickson]

Sorry for the delay. Yes, that makes sense to me.

[benoitchantre]

Thank you for having checked that.
