"Featured Image" Issue

[goodlooknout]

I love your new update! Everything looks wonderful. I have one question though: Is there a way to center the ‘featured image’ that you choose. I love how you have the related events at the bottom but I noticed you can only have an image on those related events if you use a featured image. My issue is that when you use the featured image the picture looks awkward on the top of the post because it’s always justified left. Is there any way around this?

Hi goodlooknout

Thanks for the question. Just a quick question back to confirm I understand your question.
Are you talking about the featured image that shows up in the list view? Like I have in this screenshot of your site: http://d.pr/i/Zxoy

[goodlooknout]

No, that view actually looks fine with or without the featured image. When your in the event post if I add a featured image it places the image on the top of the post and it’s uncentered and left justified. That is what I don’t like. However, if I don’t place an featured image, at the bottom of each even the related events will have that stock image of a calendar, which I also don;t like. I just want to know if there is a way to adjust the featured image actions on the event post as well as the related events at the bottom of each post.

Hi goodlooknout,

Ok I get it now! Sorry for the confusion. So would a good solution for you to either:

a) Remove the featured image showing up at the top of the post but still leave the functionality for adding a featured image so that the default calendar image doesn’t show

or

b) Work on the placement of the image when it shows on top of the post?

Either way I can point you in the right direction, I’d just like to be clear and make sure I’m understanding correctly?

[goodlooknout]

I would like option A. Tee hee…thanks!

Great, so thats a pretty simple fix.

The file you are specifically looking for is: events/views/single-event.php

In that file you will be looking for this code here:



Simply go ahead and comment out this code and you should get the results you need. So it will look like this:



<!-- -->


This should just remove the featured image from the top of the post page but you will still be able to use the featured image as a thumbnail for other parts of the plugin such as the calendar tooltip and related events at the bottom of the page.

Let me know how it goes.

Sorry about that…lets try that again

It didn’t work. I looked for the file you told me to change in The Events Calendar NOT the PRO edition. Take it look : http://www.goodlooknout.com/upcoming-event/sip-swap-shop/

It even put a weird arrow below the featured image too.

Hi Goodlooknout.

Could you send us a copy of the file that you edited via pastebin or gist? They are applications that allow you to copy and paste code that you can share with us soI can see on my end if there is anything causing an issue.

Sure, here’s the link. It’s good for 24 hours: http://pastebin.com/zAFsNih8

This was after I changed the code

[Neill]

Ah!

My fault, I see the issue. I think my formatting above made an error with the comment tags.
try this:
<!–- –->

Comments should start with ““. My comments didn’t have a double dash. Sorry about that.

[goodlooknout]

Wait, I’m confused…. what should the whole line look like???? Not the best coder here! LOL

[Neill]

Sorry again goodlooknout! The formating in this forum sometimes doesn’t hold up.

Try this: http://pastebin.com/AMhwau6u

[goodlooknout]

Ok, thanks. I will try. Am I editing this is the correct file? It’s supposed to be the regular events calendar and not pro files, right?!?!?!

[Neill]

Yep! This is a file and function that is common to both the PRO and regular version of the plugin.
