'Show excerpt in all magazine blog list' with "Read More" link

Hi.
Your previous feedback was a big help to me.
I am using the magazine element, with the main story being the larger story above the others.
But the others still do not have an excerpt below them.
Any way I can get this?
Thanks in advance.

I’m having the same issue… I’ve done the things Ismael recomended, and all I’ve got is a “Read More” below every post… Still no Excerpt, except on the “first_big” one.

So, adding this:

			$output .=		"<div class='read-more-link'><a href='".get_permalink($entry->ID)."' class='more-link'>".__('Read more','avia_framework')."<span class='more-link-arrow'>&rarr;</span></a></div>";

After this:

if($excerpt)$output .=		"<div class='av-magazine-content entry-content' {$markupContent}>{$excerpt}</div>";

Will only show us “Read More”, not excerpts.

This addition to the Functions.php breaks the theme:

require_once( ‘config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/magazine.php’ );

My complete Functions.php in child theme is (without the dividers):

——————————
<?php

function remove_avia_search(){
remove_filter( ‘wp_nav_menu_items’, ‘avia_append_search_nav’, 10, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘init’ , ‘remove_avia_search’ );

add_theme_support(‘avia_template_builder_custom_css’);

add_filter(‘avf_logo_subtext’, ‘kriesi_logo_addition’);

function kriesi_logo_addition($sub) {
$sub .= “Celebrating 30 years of protection and conservation<br />of the majestic American Bald Eagle!”;
return $sub;
}

require_once( ‘config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/magazine.php’ );

——————————

I’m using enfold 3.0.5 and the edit to the magazine.php code is actually on line 587. Editing that line with your code does nothing.

Hi!
same problem: changing / adding the code at line 577 still only shows “Read More”, but not the content of the excerpt itself.

I think because above in the magazine.php the $excerpt is not defined
$excerpt = "";
and some lines below, if ($style == ‘small’) it will remain empty.

Right? Any solution? (’cause I’m not the greatest coder and wont’t play domino… :-)

Hi Josue!

Yes. And in my case it concerns to the portfolio entries. For the > Layout Builder > Content Elements > Magazine > Portfolio entries an option to show their excerpts would be more than nice. For all and not only for the first/top shown bigger. But for them, the ($style == ‘small’) will remain empty I think.

All the best,

Hey,
for first I wanted to try it in the original magazin.php at
[wordpress-path]/ourcontent/themes/enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes
and only if it works, I wanted to put it in the child theme.

And yes, I already tried that step, but it has no effect – no excerpts are pulled and shown.
Even when I change the “if($excerpt)$output” to “$output”, it shows only the Read more link but no excerpt.

All the best
Yeti
