[EventCalendar] FW: Event date and box

[Alex Tingle]

Hi Kris,

the_time() Gives you the date the event was *posted*. That's not what
you want. You want the *schedule* date(s).

You need to call <?php echo ec3_get_schedule(...); ?>. Here's it's
definition:

function ec3_get_schedule(
  $format_single='<tr><td colspan="3">%s</td></tr>',
  $format_range="<tr><td class='ec3_start'>%1\$s</td><td class='ec3_to'>%3\$s</td><td class='ec3_end'>%2\$s</td></tr>",
  $format_wrapper='<table class="ec3_schedule">%s</table>'
)

As you can see, the default parameters build a
<table class="ec3_schedule">. You can play around with them to make any
HTML you like.

Here are notes on the 3 parameters:

 format_single: Used for single dates.
   %s stands for the date/time.
 format_range: Used for a start->end date range.
   %1$s stands for the start date
   %2$s stands for the end date
   %3$s stands for the word 'to'
 format_wrapper: Always wraps the whole thing.
   %s stands for the lists of schedules (each one is a single or range)

So for example, if you want the default table, you call: ec3_get_schedule()

If you want an ordered list (caveat: not actually tested)...

 ec3_get_schedule('<li>%s</li>','<li>%1$s %3$s %2$s</li>','<ol>%s</ol>')
