Adding summary of full text to [tribe_events_list] shortcode

[Jeffrey]

I would like to display a summary of the full text of an event. Is there a way to do that using [tribe_events_list] ?

[Josh]

Hey Jeffrey,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

There isn’t a setting within the shortcode that you could use directly, however you could hook into one of the hooks available in the list widget single event template there and output the content where you’d like.

For example, the following snippet would work to output the content before the additional event meta for each event in your list widget:

add_action( 'tribe_events_list_widget_before_the_meta', 'tribe_list_widget_add_event_summary' );
function tribe_list_widget_add_event_summary() {
the_content();
}

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
