Limiting amount displayed on lists

    I’m creating this page which will show important dates in Kentucky sports history.
    Is there a way to limit how much of the post is shown when in list mode? There could be a lot of information on a specific page, and I’d like to be able to suppress some (not all) when looking at the list.
    I put some sample information on the April 9 event (Kyle Macy birthday) illustrating what I’m talking about.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Ed

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • If you’re using a shortcode you could pass an attribute limit=”5″, If you’re using the EM’s Event List, You could set the limit under Events > Settings > Pages > Event List/Archives > Event list limits

    Tim, thanks for the reply.
    I think I didn’t want explain myself very well. I’m actually not as worried about the number of events listed, as the amount of DETAIL given within each listing.
    IE.. I want to put a significant amount of detail on the individual page, but NOT post all of it on the listings.

    The “info” you are talking about should be the #_EVENTEXCERPT.

    In the built-in EM help page it states:

    #_EVENTEXCERPT{words,…}
    If an excerpt has not been added to the event you can use this format #_EVENTEXCERPT{10,…}, where 10 is the number of words to show and … is what is used at the cut-off point.

    #_EVENTEXCERPTCUT
    Same as #_EVENTEXCERPT (and also accepts the {words,…} arguments) but will also cut excerpts as well as post content. Default word limit is 55 and cut-off is […]

    To change the default limit of 55, you can use this WordPress filter.
