Make RSEvents intro layout EventDescription more flexible

At the moment the EventDescription gets reformatted by some hardcoded syntax before it gets shown in the "Event Intro List view". The code in /views/events/view.html.php strips the html tags and shortens the text. Make it more dynamic. Give the option to turn of the stripping and shortening and put in logic that displays the description until the "readmore" tag . I core hacked the view.html.php with this code: Replaced this line: $objList->EventDescription = rseventsHelper::strip_html_tags(rseventsModelEvents::shorten($objList->EventDescription)); With: $EventDescriptionArray = explode('', $objList->EventDescription); $objList->EventDescription = $EventDescriptionArray['0']; Of course you need to make the code much nicer but i guess you get the idea. Hardcoded things are never good for professional customization.
