Custom date format in calendar

By gisle on 30 Mar 2009 at 07:37 UTC

I've created an event calendar for my sites following the very instructive and clear screencast created by Sean Effel over at DrupalTherapy (http://www.drupaltherapy.com/node/76). Near the end of screencast (@ 15:11), Sean says that after creating the calender: "We could do some custom formatting to strip out the date ...". (i.e. leaving only the time in the calendar view of the event). However he doesn't tell you how to do this.

I've created the calendar and I want to use a custom format (i.e. "H:i") showing only the time when the event is displayed within the context of the calendar. Any ideas about how to do this?

You can go to the page admin/settings/date-time/formats/add to add a custom time format, then assign it to a date format on admin/settings/date-time/formats

Thanks!

From the Menu

Or, from the menu:

:Drupal -> Administer -> Site Configuration -> Date and Time -> Formats -> Add Format ->

Format string: H:i

This adds a format type to the drop-down selection which is only hours and minutes.

then:
:Drupal -> Administer -> Site Configuration -> Date and Time -> Formats -> Add format type ->
Name: Time only -> Type: timeonly -> Save configuration

then:
:Drupal -> Administer -> Site Configuration -> Date and Time -> Formats -> Configure ->
Time Date format: (the dropdown box should now show your recently created time format, so select it) -> Save configuration
