%EXCERPT% not working in rs_event_list

Looking at the code the problem seems to be the addition of “&& $fulltext_active == 0” to line 693. I don’t know what is needed here but removing it solves my problem.

The problem is indeed in line 693 and it is a bug. The correct version of this line is:
if($event->excerpt == '' && $fulltext_active == 1)
(“1” instead of “0”)
I will publish a new version (1.3.2) with this bugfix as soon as possible.

However, if you manually add an excerpt when you edit a post in the backend, there should not be any problem and the excerpt gets printed.

Thanks – that does seem to fix the problem. I think also the documentation needs amending to point out that if fulltext_active is set to zero then it also disables the automatic generation of excerpts because that needs the fulltext to work on. So it is only practical to use if you have explicit excerpts for every post.

I thought of that. Thank you! I will publish a new documentation along with version 1.3.2. Please have a look at it after I published it and feel free to comment on it (maybe at a new forum thread), especially in order to use proper and correct English terms (since I am obviously not a native speaker) and to make the text easy to comprehend.
