Rich text editor issue

$event.RawEventDescription is the value you want to use. The "Event Calendar - Add/Edit Event" widget has example usage of this in the Content section:

#set ($body='')
#if ($event)
		#set ($body = $event.EventRawDescription)
#end

		<li class="field-item required event-body">
			<label for="$core_v2_widget.UniqueId('body')" class="field-item-header">$core_v2_language.GetResource('EventDescriptionLabel')</label>
			<span class="field-item-input">$core_v2_editor.Render('body',"%{Width='100%', Height='250px', Value=$body, ContentTypeId=$calendar_v1_events.ContentTypeId}")</span>
			<span class="field-item-validation" style="display:none;"></span>
		</li>

Thanks for quick reply, we need to display events description in event detail page without editor and there mentions are printing as [mention:key:key]

In that case you don't want to display the Raw description, you need the rendered version. That is, $event.EventDescription

Yeah tried both the ways description as well as rawDescription but none of them decoding mentions. As I have checked for comments we have predefined function $comment.Body() that converts mentions to link but that is not happening in events description.

$event.EventDescription.

Or you could use  $event.HtmlDescription("web")

Hi, here is the code I am trying to execute for RTE:

<span class="field-item-input">
#set($body = '')

#if($eventId != 0)
#set ($event = $calendar_v1_events.Show($eventId))
#if ($event)
#set ($body = $event.EventDescription)
#end
#end
$core_v2_editor.Render('eventDescription', "%{Width='100%', Height='300px', Value=$body, ContentTypeId=$calendar_v1_events.ContentTypeId}")
</span>

It's still rendering [mention:key:key] in editor, it should show as we are able to see in preview mode from tools of editor i.e. A link.

Also I tried both the ways

But still it is not fetching mention text and converting it to Link, it is showing only [mention:key:key] here as well.

In the editor you need to use $event.EventRawDescription.

For display without the editor you need to use $event.EventDescription.

EventDescription will render mentions, EventRawDescription will not. (The editor will handle rendering these from Raw)

I am still not getting the rendered mention in event description for event detail page using $event.EventDescription.

What's the exact version you are using?

Are you seeing any javascript errors on the page load, or and exceptions in Administration > Monitoring > Exceptions?
