Include show descriptions in output of [list-shows]

  • Great plugin Nikki! I have used Drupal’s version before and much prefer WordPress as a CMS, so thank you!

    I always include a list of shows when making a radio station website, but the [list-shows] shortcode is lacking in parameters. I’ve been able to modify the shortcode to include the avatar…. but I’d also like to include a show description or excerpt. Can you, or anyone else here, help me make that happen?

    Here’s the page I’m working on: https://www.kzmuradio.org/kzmu-programs/

    Thank you!

  • Hey czeller,

    I’m looking to replicate what you have so far in your programs page. How did you manage that with the avatars. I’ve manage to show the list of shows but thats it.

    What I did was find the shortcode for the list in shortcodes.php and add the avatar thumbnail to the output for that shortcode:

    foreach($shows as $show) {

       $output .= '<li>' . get_the_post_thumbnail($show->ID, 'thumbnail') . '<a     href="'.get_permalink($show->ID).'">'.get_the_title($show->ID).'</a>' ;

		$output .= '</li>';

    What I really wish now is that I could get an excerpt or the content of the show description to appear also. Have tried to make it happen, but no luck so far. Have tried many versions of this, with no luck:

    . get_the_content($show->ID, 'content')
