How to show full events post in search and tags

[Norine Leibel]

Need a little help writing a function that would have the full info for an event show up in the search and tags, rather than just an excerpt (which turns out to be title and body descrip only.

I’m using a child theme of twenty twelve. Is there an easy-ish way to do that? Thanks.

And now that I think of it, more importantly, is there a way to have the full post show within the category listing view? That way any URL links in the body of the post would be live in the Category view.

So for the search results you could for instance discriminate between events and other posts by editing content.php and (in the default Twenty Twelve theme, around line 33) changing:

if ( is_search() ) :

To

if ( is_search() and ! tribe_is_event() ) :

And that would display the complete event description rather than the excerpt, but leave other non-event search results untouched. You could go further and pull in other bits of event data using functions like tribe_get_start_date(), too, but I’ll leave that to your imagination.

And now that I think of it, more importantly, is there a way to have the full post show within the category listing view?

For this one you would need to override list/single-event.php (please see our Themer’s Guide for details) and locate this line:

<?php the_excerpt() ?>

Changing it to:

<?php the_content() ?>

Hope that helps!
