I want to display the excerpt in the tooltip…

I’m also looking to display the excerpt in the tooltip instead of the full event notes (using WP FullCalendar with Events Manager). Has anyone been able to do this? Thanks!

Dear all,
Did you solve this issue, guys ?

All my best,
pHIl

Also looking for details on how to limit tooltip to display excerpt only?

Yep, this calendar looks great, but displaying all the content makes it look just a bit silly! Anyone know what to edit in the plugin files to change the content to the excerpt?

Events > Settings > General > Full Calendar Options > Event Tooltips Format.

I’ve set mine up to use placeholders:

<p><img align=”left” style=”padding:5px;” #_EVENTIMAGE{75,75}
#_EVENTNAME
#_LOCATIONTOWN, #_LOCATIONSTATE
#_EVENTTIMES
#_EVENTEXCERPT</p>

That last placeholder limits tooltip to excerpt.

Not sure if you need WP FullCalendar plugin in addition to EM for this option?

you can try something like #_EVENTNOTES{20} for 20 words

Thanks for that,I didn’t realise you could edit the tooltip.

But the code isn’t working. For some reason Carolina’s code gives a 75×75 space for the image but no image, and the full content. If I create a manual excerpt then the excerpt is displayed but I’d rather not do that for every event

And the #_EVENTNOTES{20} is giving the full content.

Any ideas?

Hi dv1961,

#_EVENTIMAGE pulls whatever’s set as my Featured Image on each Event and resizes to width and height numbers I set.

And, yes, at this point, I’m inserting an excerpt manually on every event. Hope that changes at some point to pulling a specific number of characters or words from content. It might do that now, and I haven’t found it?

here’s another thread which may help you with this – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-limiting-text-for-event-manager-without-using?replies=19

Thanks for that, the custom placeholder worked really well.
