Event Dates Formatting and Display - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

Hey folks,

I am modifying the display template for a single event, and want to display the event dates and times. The default has:

 <sf:FieldListView ID="EventDates" runat="server" WrapperTagName="li" />

Now this results in "17 - 17 Oct 2011" by default. Any ideas how to format this to include the time, or alternatively just to display the event start date as a fallback? Most of the events will be on a single day, but within a time frame, i.e. "5 - 8pm 17 Oct 2011"

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello Neil,

You can add:

<sf:FieldListView ID="EventStart" runat="server" Format=" EventStart.ToLocal():MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm tt" />

<sf:FieldListView ID="EventEnd" runat="server" Format="EventEnd.ToLocal(): '\-' MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm tt"/>

which will display the correct time for the event. You can also change the initial EventDates string to modify the template even further. You may find the following forum thread useful:
