Images for location and presenter (revisited)

[Tamara Pickrell]

A couple of months ago I asked how to display location and presenter images on the event page and in the confirmation email (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/images-for-location-and-presenter/).

It sounded like my wish would be answered by upgrading to TEC Pro, which we have now done. However, after adding both Featured Images I can’t see where they show up, other than on the specific Presenter and Location pages, which I’m not interested in. I’ve checked various events, and tested both the “Default Page Template” and “Default Event Template.”

My question was specifically about images on the event page and the emails. Does TEC Pro actually provide that functionality, and if so, what’s the trick to enabling it?

Thanks!

Good evening Tamara and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear that you haven’t been able to display images on the event page and in the confirmation email.
I would love to help you with this topic.

I believe there might have been a misunderstanding on this one. I want to apologize for that.
As you found out, the images to both Organizers and venues are indeed available.

But, out-of-the-box, only when you click on the links to their details.

That being said, you could totally add the actual images to both the single event view AND the confirmation email.

In order to do that, you will need a simple template customization.
You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

Basically what you need to do here is:

1. Create a /tribe-events/ folder in your Child Theme directory
2. Make a copy of the single-event view
3. Steal the code that displays the pictures in the single organizer and in the single venue view
4. Add them to the single-event view

Once that is done, you could simply repeat the same process for customizing the email sent.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
