Add Link to Featured Image in Single Event View

[Ted]

I found this thread: Modifying Links From Featured Image on Events Page which is exactly what I want to do: use the link added to “Event Website” as the link when you click the featured image on the single event view.

The topic above mentioned that you were working on this for update 3.6, I’m wondering if this update occurred and how do I make it work? Currently the featured image doesn’t click at all in my single event view http://entertainment.accessvegas.com/index.php/event/celine-dion-4/2016-05-24/

Thank you!

Hi Ted,

Thanks for reaching out to us! I can help you here…

The image in single event doesn’t have any links, this was changed as the other thread states. If you want to make it link to the Event Website URL, you can go ahead and create a template override (details on our themer’s guide) of the single event template (located at wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php). Once the copy of the template is in place you can change line 58 for the code below to make this work:


// print event featured image with event website link
$image_html = get_the_post_thumbnail( $event_id, 'full' );
$event_website = tribe_get_event_website_url();

if ( ! empty( $image_html ) && ! empty ( $event_website ) ) {
echo '

' . $image_html . '

';
} elseif ( ! empty( $image_html ) ) {
echo '

' . $image_html . '

';
}


Please let me know if this works for you,
Best,
Nico
