When you create a new event on the backend or frontend the TIME FORMAT is HOURS:MINUTES:SECONDS, for example 06:30:00.

How do you remove the seconds from that preformatted time? It is very confusing to a frontend that they would have to enter the seconds when their event is going to start. It would never be used.

Thank you for your time.

Hi.

Please edit two files.

#1. in \administrator\components\com_rseventspro\views\events\tmpl
edit.php file
near line:228

#2. in \components\com_rseventspro\views\events\tmpl
edit.php file
near line:208

Before:
After:
you must delete last.
Please challenge!

regards!

Ehh, you really shouldn't edit the core files of the component. One flip of the update button wipes all of that out. Is there no way to do an override for this?

Yes, you could use template overrides to do this. Basically copy the following:
1) administrator/components/com_rseventspro/views/events/tmpl/edit.php
to
administrator/templates/<YOUR_BACK_TEMPLATE>/html/com_rseventspro/events/edit.php
2) components/com_rseventspro/views/events/tmpl/edit.php
to
templates/<YOUR_FRONT_TEMPLATE>/html/com_rseventspro/events/edit.php

This is all explained here.

this gets you pointed at the right files to change (and how to copy/paste them from their native directory to a safe template-override directory - IMPORTANT):

I made some similar changes. Here is an example of what I did:
inside show.php (see link above for a description of it), I found:
rseventsproHelper::date($event->start,null,true) ... the null means that the default date format is used
and changed it to:
rseventsproHelper::date($event->start,"F d, H:i",true) ... which means "month day, hour minute".

Hi I'm new here but I managed to get rid of the seconds by choosing the format g:i a in Settings - Date & Time ( which will display the time as 1.23pm as opposed to 1.23.05.

Hope that helps for people who do not want to mess with coding.

Gooday,

Thanks for your tips.

We would like to remove the time, hour and minutes. How can we do?.

We have removed: H:i:s from show.php and default.php but there is no change.

I tried this, but it didnot work

Seconds are still visible.

Hi,

You advised to copy:
1) administrator/components/com_rseventspro/views/EVENTS/tmpl/edit.php
to
administrator/templates/<YOUR_BACK_TEMPLATE>/html/com_rseventspro/events/edit.php

But I don't have the file edit.php in administrator/components/com_rseventspro/views/events/tmpl/

In administrator/components/com_rseventspro/views/EVENT/tmpl I found the file edit.php

Should I copy this edit.php file from the EVENT-directory?

PS: It should be much easier to remove the seconds in the settings.
BTW, does anyone use seconds in event start and end times?
