Posterboard length annd 'Read More'

[Simon Harris]

Is it possible to alter the number of words in the Posterboard boxes and add ‘Read More’?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Simon,

The description of the event is based on the excerpt. But you can use the filter eventorganiser_posterboard_item to alter each event as it’s passed back to the client. (See https://github.com/stephenharris/Event-Organiser-Posterboard/blob/1.1.0/event-organiser-posterboard.php#L264)

Please note that the next update will introduce a breaking change. event_content currently produces the excerpt. In the next update this shall be renamed to event_excerpt and event_content shall instead produce the full event content.

The loadng / load more text is currently hardcoded (although translatable) but you can find them on the line 81-82.

Thanks for that Stephen, however when I was asking about the ‘Read More’ I was referring to the bottom of each
poster/box.

Thanks again

Kind regards
Simon

Sorry, misread the question.

The ‘read more’ link is added as part of the excerpt, and is typically done by the theme via the excerpt_more filter. This applies to all post types, everywhere that there’s an excerpt.

(The number of words in the description is filtered by excerpt_length, but this too is site-wide)

It may be better to use the eventorganiser_posterboard_item filter and replace the event_content with the content as returned by get_the_content() and trimmed (perhaps using wp_trim_words()– see codex. )

Perferct thank you Stephen
