Changes to upcoming events

[Mel]

Hi,

I have the following shortcode on my home page and it works fine: [tribe_events_list limit=”5″ city=”yes”]

I would like to make a few changes:

Q1: how can I add the event pic to the events list being used?

Q2: How can I remove the view more link at the bottom?

Q3: if the event pic is added to the left, can the day of the event be added in front of the date info?

Hope this makes sense! See attached pic…

Thank
Mel

Hi Mel,

Thanks for reaching out. I will try to help with your questions if I can.

The events widgets shortcodes do not have the option to display the featured image. To get the featured image to display, you would need to use the tribe_events shortcode with the view=”list” option. For more information about using this shortcode, please see this knowledgebase article: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/

The easiest way to get rid of the “view more” link in the list widget would be to hide it with CSS. You can add the following snippet to your child theme CSS or in the Customizer’s Additional CSS panel.


.tribe-events-widget-link {
display: none;
}


To add the weekday into the widget display, you would need to create a custom template to override the view you wish to modify. This would be a different template for the widget vs the default list view, so let me know if you are going to use the tribe_events shortcode to add the image in there. I can direct you to the proper template if so.

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have additional questions about this.

Thanks,
Sky

Hi;

So what you are saying is that I can add featured pic using a modified template to the
[tribe_events_list limit=”5″ city=”yes”] shortcode?

Thanks

Hi again,

You certainly could modify the widget shortcode. But would it not be easier to just use the tribe_events shortcode with “list” view instead? This already shows the featured image. Are you wanting to keep the calendar icon?

Thanks,
Sky
