Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.We were excited to see that this module now has a release version. I have started testing it on one of our department sites. I did notice an issue, though, when the date field has an end date, even if the end date is not set, the formatting is a bit scrambled (see the screenshot for the Date and time formatter on the left next to the AP Style Date formatter on the right in the Views preview).
For example, if the start date is September 16, 2016, at 6 (no end date), the AP Style Date formatter displays it as Sept. 26 to 6 p.m. - Sept. 26.
If the start date is September 29, 2016, from 5:30 to 7, the AP Style Date formatter displays it as Sept. 29 to 7 p.m. - Sept. 29.
The normal "Date and time" formatter has an option to display Both Start and End dates, Start date only, and End date only. It might be useful to retain that feature in the AP Style Date views formatter.

shelaneWhat type of date field is being used? Is it a date field as a date type or a system date such as post date? I ask because they're handled in two different ways.

notmike CreditAttribution: notmike commented@shelane The field in the Event content type I used for my testing is a Date field type. I have the field set to collect an end date, but end date is not required.
I did also test with a "Content: Post date" field in one of my Views (which, of course, doesn't have an option for an end date), and the date renders correctly.

shelaneI have fixed the issue with the end date time display.
I had not previously looked at the other options provided by the "Date and time" formatter. If you would like to see this as a feature in this module, please submit a new issue as a feature request and if you are able, submit a patch. I may find some time in the next few months to give that a look if a patch is not submitted to accomplish that.

notmike CreditAttribution: notmike commented@shelane Thank you for the quick fix. I tested the 1.1 release on the same site. It works as expected. I tested various combinations of dates.
I did notice that you display time then date, which is correct for AP Style.
I will make the feature request for the start/end/both selector that I had mentioned.
