I have found out how to add other EVENT FIELDs to show up as a search result column, but how would you add the start_time field in the same format that it shows up in the grid or list?

** how would you add the start_time field in the same format that it shows up in the grid or list? **

The start and end times returned by the search function are 24 hour times not AM/PM type times. You'd have to do some fancy footwork to get them to display the same.

If 24 hour military time is sufficient for that display, they're easy enough to print out:

<%= $EVENT->{schedule}->{start_time} %>
<%= $EVENT->{schedule}->{end_time} %>

You'll have to modify the template code to add another table column (or whatever) to display them in and to title it.

is the fancy footwork code already done, i just need to copy it form another page?  Or is it much more involved than that.  This is a page my customers will book looking at and having an am/pm type will make it less cofusing to them.

I only need the start time, and i dont even really need it to say amp/pm...just the time.

thanks

I don't know if code to do that is used elsewhere or not. You can try:

<%= &Date::formatTime($EVENT->{schedule}->{start_time}, $Config->get("time_format")); %>

I don't know if it will work or not.

Didn't want to start a new topic because my question is similar... I have added some custom fields to my search results.  But I can't figure out how to add the end date of events that span multiple days (if the event only occurs on one day, it's fine to repeat the start date in the end date column).

What's the variable for an event's end date that I can use to display it in search results?

Thanks!

End DATE? I don't think the search function returns that information. That function returns different data than the regular calendar's getEvents function does.

Maybe the previous forum message "Searching in the template with command line argumentss" will give you some ideas how to accomplish it otherwise.
