  • Hi,

    It is necessary to edit the following file: all-in-one-event-calendar-extended-views/public/themes-ai1ec/vortex/twig -> posterboard.twig, line 135
    change:
    {{ event.post_excerpt | raw }}
    to:
    {{ event.post_excerpt | truncate( 80 ) | raw }}

    80 is the number of characters.

    Take care,
    Ben

    It worked but i dont see the “..read more” link anymore. Is there a way to include that

    Your inquiry requires more changes in the code, which unfortunately we cannot help with as part of our support. We’ll keep this topic open for a few days for other user to chime in if possible. Thanks for your understanding.
