[Plugin: Events Manager] Shortcode [event] and More tag trouble..

    First of all thank you for great plugin!

    I am having hard time with displaying events in my posts. I will try to describe what I have here..

    I want my occurring events to publish in posts so people would know any information related to it.

    I use shortcode [event post_id=”123″][/event] to display event in post. But I don’t want my main page to be trashed with long post as event could contain (event banners, info etc.), so it makes sense to use <!–more–> tag somewhere in the beginning. Problem is that it kinda like ignores this tag and shows full [event] content!
    If I use [event post_id=”123″]#_EVENTEXCERPT[/event] then it shows content before <!–more–> tag, but again, if I hit my “Read More” or post title to see full [event] content, it goes in and shows only content before <!–more–> tag!?

    Any suggestions how to make it work? Searched and couldn’t find any solution.. Thank you in advance!

    Is this related to the same issue described here? – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-more-tag-not-working

    yes it’s a similar issue; a sample snippet

    event description:
    the quick brown fox<!--more--> jumps over the lazy dog.

    [event post_id="123"]
#_EVENTNAME
#_EVENTEXCERPT <a href="#_EVENTURL">more..</a>
[/event]

    result:
    Event title
    the quick brown fox more..

    Thank you for fast response, agelonwl!

    Snippet won’t work with every theme. I have <!–more–> tag button for every post.. and lot of users are clicking on post title to see the rest of the entry, so this kind of snippet gives only 30% chance for reader to see the rest of the entry.

    see example on http://www.inline.lv/jaunumi

    Hopefully this important fix will be in next EM update. Thank you for your time!

    No update on this one?

    I don’t know anything about how hard it would be to make it work, but had quick idea today..

    If you would add new placeholder, for example, #_AFTEREVENTEXCERPT which would display content AFTER <more> tag is used in event description, then users could easily add events to posts by adding them like this:

    [event post_id=”123″]#_EVENTEXCERPT[/event]
    <!–more–>
    [event post_id=”123″]#_AFTEREVENTEXCERPT[/event]

    And everyone would be happy..
