Tooltips, the_excerpt()

[aeg616]

Do the tooltips in the month view of the Calendar still use the_excerpt() function in WordPress to display a preview of the event description? I tried applying a filter in my theme’s funcitons.php file to allow certain html tags and it is not working. Even tried apply a length filter and no dice. Just looking for any direction you might be able to provide. Thank you!

Hello,

The tooltip uses the excerpt, but not the_excerpt.

The function:

tribe_events_template_data()

Is what grabs the data for the tooltip and encodes it.

That function uses this for the excerpt:

if ( has_excerpt( $event->ID ) ) {
$excerpt = $event->post_excerpt;
} else {
$excerpt = $event->post_content;
}

Found around line 1161 of this file:

the-events-calendar\public\template-tags\general.php

You can get some insight on how the tooltip is created by seeing these two pages:

the-events-calendar\views\month\single-event.php

the-events-calendar\views\month\tooltip.php

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
