I spoke too soon. I was looking at the main page with my short code. Sigh.

Copying the archive file into my theme fixed it! Thanks so much!

On a re-read, I see that you’re pointing me to the specific file. Thank you! I will definitely check that and see if I can rectify my issue from there.

To clarify, this is only happening on the taxonomy pages…such as topics, Bible books, or speaker. Yes, my shortcode page is working perfectly.

Hi. Just saw your most recent update for Sermon Manager. You all are doing such a great job responding to our issues, thank you!

With my issue on the archive sermon listings, I tried a negative top margin on the entry title, but that wasn’t a good solution for the different screen sizes. Any advice appreciated.

Small issue….there’s no space now between any previous word and Speaker.

Wonderful!

Done and sent. Thanks!

Done!

Thank you so much!!

In the meantime, I’ve found CSS snippets to make the button transparent and 100%. That will work for now, but I am curious what is causing the above issue and would like to fix it so I don’t have to use a work-around.

Update #2. I used the {linking} with before and after to sandwich it in the tag. And it worked!

Thanks for letting me brainstorm publicly. I’m including my “short”code incase it helps someone else.

[my_calendar_upcoming ltype=”event_region” lvalue=”Featured” template='{date before=”<div>” after=”</div>”}<div class=”thumbscale”>{link_image}</div><h3>{linking_title} – {time}</h3><div class=”upcomingtxt”>{excerpt}{linking before=”Read More“}</div>’ before=”0″ after=”3″ type=”event” order=”asc”]

Update. A little creative thinking took care of the thumbnail issue. I used {link_image} and for those events that didn’t have a url, I substituted the actual calendar event link.

That leaves me with the “read more”…

This is a copy of the shortcode and styling that I’m using…

[my_calendar_upcoming ltype=”event_region” lvalue=”Featured” template='{date before=”<div>” after=”</div>”}<div class=”thumbscale”>{thumbnail before=”” after=”“}</div><h3>{linking_title} – {time}</h3><div class=”upcomingtxt”>{excerpt}{details}</div>’ before=”0″ after=”3″ type=”event” order=”asc”]

Sorry to be so long in replying, I had other work issues come up and had to set this aside.

Is there a way to publish an excerpt with the “read more” link pointing to url rather than the calendar?

I am using {linking_title} as the event’s title and it does work as you describe, but I would also like the “read more” and the thumbnail to link to the url as well.

I have read through the shortcodes and the manual and am not seeing a way.

Thank you for your help.

That did the trick. Thanks so much!!
