Sermon description in results page

I'm trying to customise the results page such that the sermon description (or at least a short excerpt) is displayed, rather than just the title, preacher and date.

I've tried the obvious [sermon_description] in the results page, and that didn't work – it just displays "[sermon_description]"
I've tried and failed to follow the logic in php… I can can see that the description is in $sermon->description in line, err, 522 of sermon.php, but can't work out where the array's pulled apart for conversion to html.

So, am I trying the impossible? Or missing something really simple?

The short codes I know that are available to provide sermon information in the results.

[first_passage] – The main bible passage for this sermon
[sermon_title] – The title of the sermon
[preacher_link] – The name of the preacher (hyperlinked to his search results)
[series_link] – The name of the series (hyperlinked to search results)
[service_link] – The name of the service (hyperlinked to search results)
[date] – The date of the sermon

I have tried [tag_cloud] but have not been able to back it work.

Hope this helps,
Alec

I know this is a old post, but I just started using the plugin today and wondered the same thing. Somewhere Mark Barnes said it would be trivial, and it seems he is correct.

It appears you were on the right track adding[sermon_description] in the template. But, you also need to add one line in dictionary.php to the first function, function sb_search_results_dictionary. Add to the array

'[sermon_description]' => '<?php echo stripslashes($sermon->description) ?>',

Now you will probably need to go in and save the results page template again – to make sure dictionary.php is read. Not sure, but that's what I did. It seems to work.

It adds the description where you place the [sermon_decription] tag in the results page description.
