Event Summary Show Read More Link

Hi there,

is it possible to add a "Read More" to summaries showing events that directs you to the event's detail page? For blog summaries, Squarespace offers that capability.

Best,

Markus

Hi. Yes. 

You can add a read more text link in Excerpt?

@tuanphan Yes, I could. But I don't want to do it manually. It should be automatically there as in case of a blog.

Can you share link to page page where you added Event Summary?

@tuanphan If you have an idea can you please just describe it? I'm an IT guy and can do it on my own to save your time. 

Thanks @iamdavehart. That's a great description. I'll do it that way. 

For a Squarespace "beginner" it's sometimes hard to guess what the best way would be. 

Hi, I am wondering the same thing but not so good with code. I want to add a read more link under the first event summary on the page, because a lot of people don't know to click on it for more details.

I could add it to the page itself, or the excerpt, whichever is easier. 

Please note I have a link "read more" in the excerpt now but I don't want to have to manually do this for all of them. 

Thanks!

Yes, either in the summary or a button below the summery on the page it self. 

Thanks

Thanks! So I added it and it looks great, however it doesn't link to the event page. What am I doing wrong?
