Add "Read More" in tooltip

[Jack Penland]

I’m thinking this is an insanely easy question to answer, but I’m just missing it…

I’m managing this site that uses “The Events Calendar Pro.”

Here is another local website also using the pro version (I thinkthey took my advice.)

I need the site I manage to include the “Read More” text that theirs does.

Theirs was not installed by a developer, so I know there’s no custom programming involved. I’m hoping I missed a checkbox somewhere.

Thanks.

Hi, Jack.

If they don’t have any custom coding, it could be built-in from their theme.

To add this yourself, please reference https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/help-adding-category-to-tooltip-but-with/#post-1080199 for how to customize the tooltip.

Please let me know how this goes for you.

I’m getting there. The discussion was out of my comfort zone, but your 2/25/16 answer and link to Github led me to a line of code that I could slightly modify to add a “Read More” link.

<p><a href="[[=permalink]]" class="url">Read More</a></p>

Following that Github example I added that line in 2 locations to the tooltip.php. Once for the regular listing and once for the featured listing. (See attached) It works fine for featured listings, but that same line is doing nothing for the regular listings.

You can see it for yourself, here…

Thoughts?

Good job 🙂

Looks like it’s working to me. Do you need any more help with this?

[Jack Penland]

How did I not see that?

Will this survive an update or do I need to somehow get this into the child theme?

[Cliff]

If it’s in your main/parent theme, I’d recommend moving it to a child theme.

Please read through https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/implementing-custom-code-snippets/ for more details.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

Got it! Thanks!

Glad to hear. You bet!
