Add Thumbnail to Calendar Grid View

[eocdesign]

Hello All,
I need to add a thumbnail image for every event that is added to the calendar and I need the thumbnail to display in the grid view when the full calendar is displayed. Can this be done? If so how would I go about it?

Hi Caitlin,

You could do this by modifying the /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/table.php file around line 133. Make a copy of that file and place in an ‘events’ folder in your active theme to make changes. You should just be able to use the_post_thumbnail() function from WordPress: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail

Does that help?

Hello Jonah,

Thank you for the quick reply. So it is just a matter of adding :

the_post_thumbnail( $size, $attr ); at line 133? And this will pull the featured image assigned for that event? I am assuming that I will need to have a custom post thumbnail size in the functions.php file for this as well…

Hi Caitlin,

Yes, would just put that on line 133 but be sure to wrap the tag in PHP tags like the other PHP code you see… And, you don’t have to use the size or attr arguments – it will use the post-thumbnail size (150×150) by default. But if you want a custom size, yes, you will need to add another size in your functions.php file and regenerate all image to generate the new size and then pass that size name in as an argument.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
