Images "Facebook" prefix

[Ivan]

Hi Tribe,

I have a question. In previous facebook events plugin all the images have prefix facebook & unique string, unfortunately the Aggregator not anymore. Is it possible to add the prefix back?

Was much easier to search for images, delete them or just make some order…

Hi there Ivan,

Thanks for getting in touch with us on this!

I’m not sure this prefix will be added again, but you can use the snippet below to customize the attachment name. Paste the snippet in the theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file:

function tribe_tag_as_ea_image ( $attachment_id ) {

$attachment = array(
'ID' => $attachment_id,
'post_title' => 'aggregator_image_' . $attachment_id
);

wp_update_post( $attachment );
}

function tribe_hijack_image_name ( $image_import, $event ) {

tribe_tag_as_ea_image ( $image_import->post_id );

return $image_import;
}
add_filter( 'tribe_aggregator_event_image', 'tribe_hijack_image_name' , 10, 2 );


It’s a tricky snippet, but worked well in my test site. Try it out and let me know if it works for you,

Best,
Nico

Thanks, I tried, but something went wrong. My page was not able to load after add this code to function.php – just stay blank with no error.

Thanks for following up Ivan! And sorry to hear that this didn’t work as expected 🙁

I just retested the snippet and it’s working fine in my end. Sometimes copying the code directly from the forums lead to erros, try pasting it in a plain text editor first and then from there copy it to the actual file. Copying it from the gist below might help to:

Please let me know if this helps,
Best,

Yes, you are right. This was the mistake! Thank you so much.

[Nico]

Thanks for confirming Ivan! Glad to be of service 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Best,
Nico
