All events have an end date – nothing lasts forever, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But just because the end date is required to make all the GeoDirectory event features work – that doesn’t mean you have to display the end date on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is one way you can make the display of the end date conditional using the GD Dynamic Content<\/a> widget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To make the End Date display by default, but allow listing owners to hide it, we will first create a new field “Hide display of End Date” and then turn off other event data displays and then replace it that with a series of shortcodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit your Events CPT Settings for custom fields<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a new Checkbox field and label it “Hide display of Event End Date”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open the field advanced options to set the key as ‘event_end_date_hide’<\/p>\n\n\n\n Save the field<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adjust up the event date default display<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open the event date field options<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find the option ‘Show in extra output locations’ and turn off all displays by clicking the X<\/p>\n\n\n\n Save the field<\/p>\n\n\n\n Open GD Details or GD Archive item template<\/p>\n\n\n\n Paste in these shortcodes where you want the dates to display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Those shortcodes together will display the start date and time, then – if the field ‘end_date_hide’ is not checked, then it will display the end date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These shortcodes are created with the GeoDirectory Shortcode Builder<\/a>.[gd_post_meta key="event_start_date_time" show="value-raw" no_wrap="1"]\n\n[gd_dynamic_content key="end_date_hide" condition="is_not_empty"]\n [gd_post_meta key='event_end_date_time' show='value-raw' no_wrap='1']\n[\/gd_dynamic_content]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
