[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] show EXCERPT instead of image

Hi Team,

We use Excerpt field to add some description to meta tag. Event calendar shows that information on hover event. That shows the image when there is no content in Excerpt field.

How do we show the image without displaying Excerpt content?

Hi, with the events calendar, by default the event excerpt is used and if that isn’t available then the event description is used. This is similar to the event listings page.

The image that appears on one of the events looks like it was uploaded into event description area directly as it activates a lightbox when clicked. The featured image is usually uploaded via the featured image option in the event editor.

Thanks Lorenzo.

We are using excerpt as you instructed us in this topic. https://eventespresso.com/topic/get-event-date-and-time/
We do not want to display excerpt but we want to display the content. Can you help us?

Hi, that change won’t be possible since the calendar looks for an excerpt first and then if that is not available, then it uses the event description.

Ok. I am looking for the code to edit and skip excerpt part. Can you find where the code is for me?

Hi, this requires an edit to the core calendar plugin and is therefore unsupported.

/wp-content/plugins/ee4-events-calendar/EED_Espresso_Calendar.module.php

At about line 526 you’ll see this:

$description = $event->short_description( 55, NULL, TRUE );

Adjust it to this:

$description = $event->description( 55, NULL, TRUE );

This will also be lost on a software update.

That completly removed the section 🙁

$this->get( ‘EVT_desc’ ); sends the content without the img tag. May be it is removing all HTML tags. Problem not solved yet.

$event->description_filtered(); did the job. This is resolved.
