mini calendar widget listings with excerpt

[Nini]

I would like to add the excerpt to the mini calendar listings for both the single day and list view – I tried adding it to the mini-calendar/single-event.php but it only showed up on the second event on the list – any advice?

Sounds like you’ve basically got the right idea (so long as you are making this change via a template override and not to core plugin files!) … can you share your code so I can see if anything jumps out as being problematic?

[Barry]

Sidenote: please share code using Pastebin, Gist or a similar service and share the link! The forum doesn’t currently do a great job with code if you post it here directly.

sure – here is the link – and yes I am modifying the file within my themes folder

Ah ok. I think one part of the problem there is that the post data has not been set up such that standard WordPress template tags can be used as you might expect. Can you try this version of your snippet and see if that gets you closer to what you want?

um…..
ROCK STAR!!

Thank you so much – it totally did the trick 😉
