 * Hi,
 * we have currently a big problem with the plugin. We are not able to get the time
   and date formatting from WordPress working. We’ve got an european format here(
   dd.mm.yyyy & 24-h hh:mm) and in the settings its set to “Use WordPress Date/Time
   format”. But in the calendar it is still written with am/pm.
 * Is there a simple way to debug this or is it generally broken currently?
 * If there is any way to support you to find a solution, we’ll be really happy 
   to do this!
 * Here the technical informations:

 * Hi [@tobias1hdw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobias1hdw/),
 * Is the issue that in the calendar the time is displayed in 12h time? Like if 
   we were to change this to 24 hour time would that be what you are after, or is
   there more to it than this?
 * Thanks,

 * Hi [@northernbeacheswebsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northernbeacheswebsites/),
 * it is exactly this!
 * Example:
 * Currently it is 4pm, but we are expecting 16:00.
 * We thought if we use the “Use WordPress Date/Time format” option this is what
   should happen.
 * THank you for you fast feedback 🙂

 * Hi [@tobias1hdw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobias1hdw/),
 * So the settings in the plugin only work for the table, they don’t work for the
   calendar. The reason for this is that the calendar is done by a javascript library
   whereas everything else is controlled by PHP by our plugin. There’s probably 
   a way to send this setting to javascript, but that’s a little beyond my expertise.
 * However, if you don’t mind, I can give you a solution, but it would break upon
   update, so either don’t update the plugin, or re-apply the fix upon update. If
   you edit script.js (wp-gotowebibar/inc/script.js) and edit line 25 and change:
 * timeFormat: ‘h(:mm)a’,
 * to:
 * timeFormat: ‘H(:mm)a’,
 * That will resolve the issue. You may need to clear your browser/site/server cache
   if script.js if you don’t see the change come into affect.
 * I am sorry I can’t provide a more seamless solution. Thanks,

 * Hi [@northernbeacheswebsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northernbeacheswebsites/)
   thank you for your fast feedback.
 * I would add the fix currently to the plugin files and stop updating the plugin.
 * Maybe there is a way to get this fix into the regular plugin? If you are using
   github, i could have a look into the code and try to get fix done. After that
   i could create a pull requests.
 * But only if you are interested 🙂
 * Regard,
    Tobi

 * Hi Tobi,
 * You are welcome to send a link to an updated plugin zip and just describe how
   it works, and I can then put this into the next release if you want.

 * Hi [@northernbeacheswebsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/northernbeacheswebsites/),
 * i’ve quickly updated two files:
 * Line 5-34 on wp-gotowebibar/inc/script.js:
 *     ```
       if ($('#calendar').length){
               var calendarData = $('#calendar-data').attr('data');
               var calendarTimeFormatSetting = $('#calendar-data').attr('data-time-format-setting');
               var calendarTimeFormat = $('#calendar-data').attr('data-time-format-setting');
   
       		if(calendarTimeFormatSetting == 'wordpress'){
       			calendarTimeFormat = ($('#calendar-data').attr('data-time-format')).replace('i', 'mm');
       		}
   
               var calendarDataDecodedAndParsed = JSON.parse(atob(calendarData));
   
               var wordpressLocale = document.documentElement.lang;
   
       //        console.log(calendarDataDecodedAndParsed);        
   
               $('#calendar').fullCalendar({
                   header: {
                       left: 'prev,next today',
                       center: 'title',
                       right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay,listWeek'
                   },
                   navLinks: true, // can click day/week names to navigate views
                   editable: false,
                   height: 'auto',
                   locale: wordpressLocale.substr(0,2),
                   timezone: 'local',
                   timeFormat: calendarTimeFormat,
                   events: calendarDataDecodedAndParsed
   
               })       
           }
       ```
   
 * Line 123 on wp-gotowebibar/inc/shortcode-calendar.php:
 * `$html .= '<div id="calendar-data" data="'.base64_encode(json_encode($calendarData)).'"
   data-time-format="'.get_option('time_format').'" data-time-format-setting="'.
   $options['gotowebinar_time_format'].'"></div>';`
 * This fixed my issue.
    I am not sure if this is a global fix, but for the calendar
   it could work. If this solution is fine for you, feel free to add it to your 
   plugin 🙂

 * Thanks [@tobias1hdw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tobias1hdw/), I will
   look over this and put in the next version. Thanks for your work 🙂
