[Plugin: Event Organiser] Displaying the content/description with eo_events shortcode

Hi tinynow,

I assume are you using a custom template with the shortcode? https://www.harriswebsolutions.co.uk/event-organiser/documentation/shortcodes/event-list-shortcode/

The documentation needs updating but you can use the %event_excerpt% tag to display the event excerpt. There isn’t a tag for the full description, but I shall consider adding this in a future version.

Thank you! That is what I needed.

Sincerely,
Matt Kreiling

I would also very much like to be able to get the event description when using the eo_events shortcode. So add my vote for implementing this!

I have same issue here.
I tried to put [eo_events att1=”val1″ att2=”val2″] in my events page, but still it is not showing its description here.
Do I need to change any other settings?
I also tried [eo_events att1=”val1″ att2=”val2″ att3=”val3″ att4=”val4″….], but no luck.

Also in event page it is not showing left side bar, though I have set up all the pages in 2 columns. How do I figure out this?

Thanks in advance.

@yooakim – I’m looking to add this to 1.6.

@deecee2000 – you need to replace the ‘att*’ by the attribute name and ‘val*’ by the corresponding values. With regards to including the excerpt, you need to wrap the shortcode around a placeholder – see examples here.

@stephen –
There is no “event_content” attribute available in shortcuts.
I have modified the following file and get the work done.
wp-content/plugins/event-organiser/classes/class-eventorganiser-shortcodes.php

In function read_template() added
$patterns[0] = ‘/%(event_content)%/’;

In function parse_template() added
case ‘event_content’:
$replacement = get_the_content();
break;
Usage:
[eo_events] %event_content% [/eo_events]

I know – see the above posts – I’ll be adding into 1.6.
