Add Excerpt to Zoom meetings page

    Hello Generatepress people

    I would like to add an excerpt option to the Zoom meetings page for the plugin Video Conferencing with Zoom.
    Is that possible?

    I saw in the forums that a code snippet can be added to add an excerpt to a page

    // Adding excerpt for page
    add_post_type_support( ‘page’, ‘excerpt’ );

    Would it be possible to do something similar for the ‘zoom-meetings’ page?

    I have crashed the site once before trying an incorrect snippet, I would rather not repeat …

    Your advise would be sincerely appreciated as always

    Thanks in Advance

    Hi there,

    can you share a link to the page on your site ?

    Hi David

    I have posted link into private section

    Just incase, I am also wondering if there is any way to disable the featured image on that page
    Elements dynamic data also include options for meeting details… maybe functionality doesn’t work with Generatepress? If it’s too complicated I’ll move on

    Thanks for being awesome as usual

    You will need to get some info from the plugin developer.
    The Custom Post Type they use has its own templates and functions. Which the Theme won’t know about.
    The developer should be able to tell you the CPT name so you can excerpt supports.
    And hopefully a hook to remove the image. The most i can offer there is some CSS to hide it.

    Thank David

    I looked and he has support, but his documentation pertains to child themes and so forth.
    I will make contact, but I’m a simple gal… Learned everything I know from Generatepress forums, and enough to make my site function for me… so grateful really!

    That being said, I will settle for CSS to hide it in the meantime. If you will.

    Thank you once again!

    Hello again David

    I revisited the plugin documentation and there is a whole section on template override in the template folders… which I know nothing about.

    Says once we have gone through the process the pages can be arranged however we want., so so I will try to get someone who understands to help me… lest I break it all… again.And then hopefully all will be well.

    Thank you for your support
    Have the best day

    Goodness,

    Sorry for the delay, I wasn’t expecting a reply…

    And we have a phenomenon called Loadshedding in South Africa… no power for hours at a time

    Thank you for offering to try to help,I would appreciate if I could learn

    Also cool if you cant, thank you anyways

    You are all, always, awesome!!!

    I had a look in the plugins includes folder.

    1. Add Excerpt:

    in the includes/admin there is the class-zvc-admin-post-type.php which is where they register the post type which looks to be: video-conferencing-with-zoom-api

    So try this snippet

    add_post_type_support( 'video-conferencing-with-zoom-api', 'excerpt' );

    2. Featured image

    in the plugins includes folder and found their template-hooks.php
    And this is how they hook in the single post featured image:

    add_action( 'vczoom_single_content_left', 'video_conference_zoom_featured_image', 10 );

    So to remove it add this PHP snippet to your site:

    add_action('wp',function(){
	remove_action( 'vczoom_single_content_left', 'video_conference_zoom_featured_image', 10 );
});

    Wow!
    Who are you guys, Superheroes…

    Snippet : add_post_type_support( ‘video-conferencing-with-zoom-api’, ‘excerpt’ );

    No excerpt block visible on the edit Zoom Event page
    That is what I am looking for right, so that didn’t work?

    But I have been able to remove the featured image so that’s a win…
    I’ll work around the excerpt thing somehow with blocks…

    Thank you very much for your time and effort, I realize it is out-of-scope
    I really appreciate it

    May it come around

    🙂

    Glad to hear the featured image work.
    The excerpt – is there a checkbox to enable it in the Screen Options in the editor ?

  • Wendy Lee

    mmmmmm…

    Yes, I did check that and no option in Screen Options
    If only it were so simple

    Think I’ll explore options, something that blends better with my beloved Generatepress

    As much as I love chatting with you, sure you have many great Generatepress issues to resolve

    May your moments be meaningful
    Thank you!

    Thats a shame. Might want to run it passed the plugin developer. Note: it should not require overwriting templates to add support for this.

    Overall – glad to be of help.
