Hello,
i need to use magazine to show a list of events from a plugin (Modern Events Calendar), everything works fine except one thing,
the date shown is the creation date but I have to show the date of the event.
I tried to use the solution described in https://kriesi.at/support/topic/events-date-in-magazine-element-not-creation-date/ but of course it can’t work because it was made for another plugin.
I found this that maybe can help https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/mec-hooks/ but unfortunately I’m a beginner and I don’t know how to take the data I need and put it in the right place.
Can you help me?
Greetings and thankyou!May 7, 2020 at 5:59 am #1210601SOLVED! I was amazed by myself, I managed to fix the problem ( really: i’m a beginner ), I followed the solution described by Yigit in #post-768071 (Topic https://kriesi.at/support/topic/events-date-in-magazine-element-not-creation-date/ ) but the change to the magazine.php file is as follows:
LINE 1228 $output .= “<time class=’av-magazine-time updated’ {$markupTime}>”.get_post_meta( $entry->ID, ‘mec_start_date’, true ).”</time>”;
Now I just have to adjust the date formatMay 8, 2020 at 5:46 pm #1211102Hi labuonastrada,
Glad you got it working for you! :)
What format do you need it to be?

I read many of your posts, thank you very much for the reply.
I need the format dd / mm / yyyy or even better dd / (full name of month) / yyyy.
Unfortunately I cannot handle the function well and I have not been able to do it.
If you can help me I would be grateful. Thank you
Best regards,

Try using:
date('j F Y', strtotime(get_post_meta( $entry->ID, 'mec_start_date', true )))
instead of get_post_meta( $entry->ID, ‘mec_start_date’, true )
If you need further assistance please let us know.

I only replaced m instead of F because the site is not in English but that’s okay
Thankyou very much!
Best regards,
