eo_get_the_start
since 1.0.0
eo_get_the_start( $format = 'd-m-Y', $post_id, $occurrence_id, $deprecated )
Returns the start date of occurrence of event.
If used inside the loop, with no id no set, returns start date of
current event occurrence.
3.0.0 Update: This function used to accept 4 arguments (versions 1.5.6 - 2.11.1), with
the third (null) argument deprecated. While the old behaviour shall still work, it is recommended
that pass a maximum of three arguments, as shown below, with the third argument (not the fourth)
specifying the occurrence ID.
Examples
Inside the loop, you can output the start date of event (occurrence)
<?php echo eo_get_the_start( 'jS M Y' ); ?>
Get the start date of the event with id 7 and occurrence ID 3
<?php $date = eo_get_the_start ( 'jS M Y', 7, 3 ); ?>
Print a list of upcoming events with their start and end date
$events = eo_get_events(array(
'numberposts' => 5,
'events_start_after' => 'today',
'showpastevents' => true,
));
if( $events ){
echo '<ul>';
foreach( $events as $event ){
printf("<li><a href='%s' >%s</a> from %s to %s </li>",
get_the_permalink( $post->ID ),
get_the_title( $post->ID ),
eo_get_the_start( 'jS F Y', $post->ID, $post->occurrence_id ),
eo_get_the_end( 'jS F Y', $post->ID, $post->occurrence_id )
);
}
echo '</ul>';
}else{
echo 'No Upcoming Events';
}
