Events Plugin wonky excerpt display conflict

  • Using Mesocolumn theme for a Buddypress single site (nmbeekeepers.org) and the Events+ plugin from MUDev.

    Getting peculiar formatting from the Events+ plugin (in all browsers). A “View Event” and “Edit Event” are tacked on to the beginning and end of the Events summary.

    Here is a sample of the display…
    “View eventOn April 20, 2014 from 12:00 am to May 18, 2014 12:00 amPlants of the Southwest 3095 Agua Fria Santa Fe, NMEdit event…
    Continue Reading ?”

    Plugin developer’s answer…
    “The problem is that the theme you’re using displays excerpts, which have all the HTML tags stripped – leaving the weird plain-text output behind.”

    He suggested I override the theme’s appearance with one of the plugin’s. It’s an option in the plugin’s settings. That solved the formatting but now the excerpts are missing the lovely Mesocolumn style I’ve grown so fond of.

    Just wanted to give you a heads-up if you weren’t already aware of the issue.

    yes, its normal for the excerpt to strip all html or table grid style. the theme itself showing excerpt by default so it might not suitable with this event plugin since the plugin need the ‘the_content’ to be the default display.

    try edit index.php and archive.php
    <?php echo dez_get_custom_the_excerpt($archive_excerpt); ?>
    to
    <?php echo the_content(__(‘Read more’,TEMPLATE_DOMAIN); ?>

    Thank you. Nope. It didn’t like that change – gave me a white screen.

    I attempted twice: made the exact change in both the theme’s index.php and archive.php files.

    So I’ve reset the Events+ plugin to override Mesocolumn’s appearance on Events content. It’s not as nice of an appearance but I’m probably the only one who will notice.

    should be
    <?php echo the_content( __('Read more',TEMPLATE_DOMAIN) ); ?>

    missing close bracket that trigger the php error.

    Oops, I should have caught that missing bracket. Thank you, yes, that looks great. (nmbeekeepers.org/events/)

    I’ll pass this solution along to the plugin’s forum too.
