For JEM 4.5.0, if you are updating from RC2 to RC3, or from RC3 to a refreshed RC3, please run the 4.5.0.sql update script to update fields and create new tables.

If possible for TEST, a clean installation is recommended. Before installing, make sure to delete the existing JEM tables from your database.

Sorry, the description is always visible. I located the error, fixed it, and uploaded a refreshed RC3 package. Please download and test it.

My intention was to have the same information but in compact form. Now the event/venue descriptions are missing in compact layout.
So I will stick to the "structured" layout and apply some css statements and put the address manually in the description. 

Our side has 3 stages: 
  1. On the landing page we use the jem_banner with the next 3 events and a link to the event page with "all" upcoming event
  2. The all event page show only the most relevant data for each event. We have chosen jem_teaser, but jem_banner, calender, venue, simplelist would also be good options
  3. The details page shows all information for a selected event including the full venue description - but in a space saving layout at least for the venue part.

So for us it does not make sense to hide information on the details page even if there is a button to unhide. Our users will not understand that.

Understood, and I get it. It wasn't about removing the description to save space.

I've made some changes to make it more flexible. Now the description is displayed, but in compact view, you can play with the "read more" functionality both on the event and on the venue.

See more info in the issue: github.com/jemproject/JEM-Project/issues/2216

With this option, you can play with the "Read more" feature in event and venue descriptions to limit the space taken up by the description, without removing anything and giving the user the option to expand that information.

There's a commit ready to apply, but there's no ZIP RC3 refresh yet.

I hope this new redesign, being more flexible, meets your expectations. I think it's useful for other configurations as well.

As soon as the new RC2 refresh is available, I'll let you know.
