Event List excerpt not working…??

  • Hi there…I’m trying to include the event description in the list of events, and I can’t seem to get it to display. Here’s my code.

    <?php if (is_page('10')) { ?>

		<hr style="margin:60px auto;" />

		<?php $event_args = array(
		    'numberposts' => 10,
		    'orderby' => 'eventstart',
		    'order' => 'ASC',
		    'event_end_after' => 'now',
		);

		$events = eo_get_events($event_args);

		if ($events):
		    $return= '';
		    global $post;
		    $temp = $post;

		    foreach ($events as $post): ?>

		    <div class="singleevent grid">

			<div class="col-1-4"><?php echo get_the_post_thumbnail(get_the_ID(), 'thumbnail'); ?></div>

			<div class="col-3-4"><h2 class="entry-title event"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

			<div class="entry-meta">
		        <!-- Choose a different date format depending on whether we want to include time -->

			<?php if(eo_is_all_day()): ?>
				<!-- Event is all day -->
				<?php $date_format = 'l, F jS, Y'; ?>
			<?php else: ?>
				<!-- Event is not all day - include time in format -->
				<?php $date_format = 'l, F jS, Y g:ia'; ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
			<?php printf(__('<p>%s</p>','eventorganiser'), eo_get_the_start($date_format) );?>

			<?php if(eo_reoccurs()):?>
				<!-- Event reoccurs - is there a next occurrence? -->
				<?php $next =   eo_get_next_occurrence($date_format);?>
				<?php if($next): ?>
					<!-- If the event is occurring again in the future, display the date -->

				<?php else: ?>

				<?php endif; ?>

			<?php else: ?>

			<!-- Event is a single event -->

			<?php endif; ?>

			</div><!-- .entry-meta -->

			</div><!-- .col-3-4 -->
			</div><!-- .singleevent -->
			<hr style="margin:60px auto;" />

		<?php endforeach;  

		    //Reset post variable
		    $post = $temp;
		endif; ?>

<?php } ?>

    I’m wanting to pull up the event description just after the close of the .entry-meta div. If I put in the_content(); , or the_excerpt(); it just pulls up the content/excerpt from page 10, rather than from that event. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance!

    You can’t use the_content() or the_excerpt() outside of ‘the Loop’ (automatically, anyway). You either want to switch to using a WP_Query or follow this answer: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/143316

    I guess I’m confused. If I’m able to pull up the unique title for each event, why can’t I pull up it’s description. Am I not in a foreach loop? Is there a different function as an alternative to the_content for pulling up the event’s description?

    Thanks!

    and me i try to do this i try in this mode:

    $events = eo_get_events(array(
         'numberposts'=>9,
         'event_start_after'=>'today',
		 'group_events_by' => 'series',
		 'orderby' => 'rand',
         'showpastevents'=>false,//Will be deprecated, but set it to true to play it safe.
		 'tax_query'=>array( array(
                         'taxonomy'=>'event-category',
                        'operator' => 'EXIST',
                         'field'=>'slug',
                         'terms'=>array('ateliere')
                         ))
    ));
 if($events):
	foreach ($events as $event):
          //Check if all day, set format accordingly
$format = ( eo_is_all_day($event->ID) ? get_option('date_format') : get_option('date_format').' '.get_option('time_format') );

$colors = array("#008C99","#4ECAC2","#4CBCD4","#CF571B","#7B4B4B","#7AA127","#818181","#B0B6FB","#DF9B00","#1ABC9C","#EA9D5F","#AB998F","#DE81B8","#C768A2","#F27C7E","#953D7D","#4C7296","#5F8789","#008C99","#9B59B6");
$culoare = $colors[array_rand($colors, 1)];
 printf(
'<div class="col-md-4">
	<div class="border-round item shadow_ezra_block_2" style="background:'.$culoare .';">
		<a href="%s" alt="%s" title="%s">
		%s
		</a>

		<div style="opacity: 1.0!IMPORTANT;">
		<h4 class="culori_array">
		<span class="fa fa-smile-o"></span> %s
		</h4>
		<div class="the_excerpt">
			%s...
		</div>
</div>
		<div class="read-more ezra_press"><a href="%s"><i class="fa fa-chevron-right"></i></a></div>
	</div>
</div>',

			get_permalink($event->ID),
            get_the_title($event->ID),
            get_the_title($event->ID),
			get_the_post_thumbnail($event->ID, 'home360-thumbnail'),
            get_the_title($event->ID),
			substr(get_the_excerpt($event->ID), 0,150),
			get_permalink($event->ID),
             eo_get_the_start($format, $event->ID,null,$event->occurrence_id)
          );
	endforeach;
	endif;

    but for me show same content for all 9 post
