list.php to show excerpt instead of full event post

[Mike]

Hi guys

I believe that list.php should show the excerpt (or an except) instead of the full post. I can’t think of any reason why someone would want to show the full event text (including images) in what is usually a summary list view.

So I grabbed the code from the tooltip display in table.php, and modified the entry display in list.php to look like this:

echo has_excerpt() ? TribeEvents::truncate($post->post_excerpt) : TribeEvents::truncate(get_the_content(), 30);

instead of:

if (has_excerpt ()):
the_excerpt();
else:
the_content();
endif;


I think it should be changed for 2.1.

Thoughts?
Cheers

Just remembered (as per a post yesterday) that I also had to modify the same code in single-venue.php.

There’s a lot of duplicated code between list.php and single-venue.php. Makes it a real pain to get them looking the same.

This is a nice little hack, Mike – thanks for sharing. Let me review it with the team and unless anyone sees a reason not to, we’ll try and work it in for the 2.1 (or subsequent) release.
