Show full body text with markup (e.g., hyperlinks) in List View

[Beth Burt]

Hi there,

When displaying events in List View, I’d like to have the full body text with markup (e.g., hyperlinks) displayed. Currently if users are viewing the List View and I have links to, for example, RSVP on another site, the links are not clickable. The user has to click “Find out more” to be taken to the individual event post before the links are clickable.

At first I thought I hadn’t set the “For each article in a feed, show” setting to “Full text” under Settings -> Reading but, in fact, it was. I clicked around Events -> Settings and I didn’t see anything relating to this.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in this endeavor.

Many thanks,

-Luis

Hi Luis,

This is certainly possible. Please review the following – the Themer’s Guide in particular – in the first instance, as they cover many of the basics here:

• Themer’s Guide
• Tutorials
• Technical Docs

However essentially you could customize the list/single-event.php template, locating the following line:

<?php the_excerpt() ?>

And changing it to:

<?php the_content() ?>

Does that help?

It’s been a while so I’ll go ahead and close the thread. Of course if we can help with anything else please do go ahead and create a new one. Thanks!
