Creating a Custom Event Landing Page Template

To create a custom event landing page template, follow these steps:

1. Scroll down to the Event landing page section.
2. Select Custom Templates in the app to open the template customization options.
3. Choose an existing custom template, or create a new one by clicking + New Template.

Editing the Custom Template Code

To remove the "read more" button on the event description, follow these steps:

1. Open the Custom Template editing page.
2. In the Code section, locate the {{block:description}} block tag and replace it with the corresponding code from the Block tags section.
3. Find the data-truncate parameter in your code.
4. Change the data-truncate value from "true" to "false". This will display the full description without truncation.

Tip: Adjusting Description Display
If you prefer to display only a limited number of lines before the Read more button, keep data-truncate set to "true" and set the desired number of rows in the data-truncate-rows parameter.

Applying a Custom Template to an Event

The selected custom template will now be used to display both the event landing page and the embedded version of the event.

Character Limits for Event Descriptions by Calendar Platform

Each calendar platform has specific character limits for event descriptions. If your event description exceeds these limits, it will be automatically truncated.

• Google Calendar: Truncates descriptions after 2,500 characters.
• Outlook.com / Hotmail / Office 365: Truncates descriptions after 700 characters.
• Outlook (Desktop)/Apple Calendar: Does not truncate descriptions.
• Yahoo Calendar: Does not truncate descriptions.

Make sure to adjust your description length to fit within the relevant character limit for optimal display on each platform.
