Event frontend form ([event_form]) : no excerpt field ?

Hi Matthieu,

You can modify the template file at events-manager/templates/forms/event-editor.php and then add custom textarea

e.g.

<textarea name="excerpt" rows="10" style="width:100%"><?php echo $EM_Event->post_excerpt ?></textarea>

to use templates: https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

eg. wp-content/themes/Your Theme/plugins/events-manager/forms/event-editor.php

To save this, try the following snippet (I haven’t tested this 100% but should be something like this)

add_filter('em_event_save','custom_event_save',1,2);
function custom_event_save($result,$EM_Event){
    
    if ( !empty( $_REQUEST['excerpt'] ) ){
        $EM_Event->post_excerpt = $_REQUEST['excerpt'];
    }
    
    return $result;
}

Hi

thanks.

I was able to insert properly the custom text area, but until now, had no chance to see the inserted data saved.
