Edit the Events Table View Template Add-on for Event Espresso 4 to show all available starting date times

new_gist_file_0.md

The steps below for making changes via custom templates are no longer recommended. You can use this shortcode:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS_TABLE_TEMPLATE show_all_datetimes=TRUE]

See this page for more information: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/events-table-view-template-add-on/

This can be done by relocating one of the templates and making a change to some lines of code. This will ensure that your customization is not lost on a software update.

The support team at Event Espresso will never recommend you edit any core plugin or add-on files directly.

Here are the steps:

1. Login to your WordPress root with your preferred SFTP or FTP client. Filezilla and Cyberduck are free options. On a Mac? Try Transmit

2. Browse to this location:

/wp-content/plugins/eea-events-table-view-template/templates

You'll see two files there:

espresso-events-table-template-toggle.template.php

espresso-events-table-template.template.php

3. Download a copy of the espresso-events-table-template.template.php file to your computer

4. Now browse to this location:

/wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates

5. Upload the the file that you downloaded earlier to the location above

6. Open the espresso-events-table-template.template.php file for editing

At about line 99 you'll see this line of code:

		$datetimes = EEM_Datetime::instance()->get_datetimes_for_event_ordered_by_start_time( $post->ID, $show_expired, false, 1 );

		$datetime = end( $datetimes );

7. Replace the line above with this:

		$datetimes = EEM_Datetime::instance()->get_datetimes_for_event_ordered_by_start_time( $post->ID, $show_expired, false );

		$datetime = end( $datetimes );

8. At about line 112 you'll see this line of code:

			<td class="start_date event-<?php echo $post->ID; ?>" data-value="<?php echo $datetime->get_raw( 'DTT_EVT_start' ); ?>"><?php echo $startdate; ?></td>

9. Replace it with this:

<td class="start_date event-<?php echo $post->ID; ?>" data-value="<?php echo $datetime->get_raw( 'DTT_EVT_start' ); ?>">
		<ul>
		<?php  
			foreach ( $datetimes as $datetime ) {
			echo '<li style="list-style-type:none;">'.$datetime->start_date_and_time().'</li>';
		} ?></ul></td>

Then save changes.

Here is an alternative version that will show all datetimes along with an iCal button for each.
