Images for location and presenter

[Tamara Pickrell]

I’d like to add a featured image for my venues and presenters. I want these to appear on the event page and, ideally, also in the confirmation email. I’m going to add this as a feature suggestion, but in the meantime, what would be the best way to do this? Or is it even reasonably possible for a non-coding mortal?

I’m pretty comfortable messing around with the templates, if that would do it. I also have the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, which I thought might be a solution, but I haven’t been able to make progress with that.

Howdy Tamara,

Not only is this possible for a mere mortal 😀 there is a lovely UI that helps you do this in Events Calendar Pro. If you have that installed, edit your Organizer or Venue, click Set Featured Image, and then after selecting one hit “Update”. And there you go.

If you do not have Events Calendar Pro then it’s a bit more on the complicated side. You could certainly add this with some code, you would want to modify our register Custom Post Type function to include thumbnails as one of its supported types. You might need to modify the templates as well. If you are not a coder though this will be very complicated, and to be honest even if you are a coder it’s still probably worth the cost of Events Calendar Pro to you to just add this feature without spending any of your valuable time, plus you will get all the other benefits of Pro.

Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!

Awesome! Haha, I was thinking “Gee, Featured Image would be a really easy way to do this, if only that field was enabled.”
So, just one more reason to upgrade to TEC Pro! 🙂
Thanks very much!

You are welcome Tamara! I am happy you have a list of reasons to upgrade, I really hate to see people upgrade just for one small feature from Pro. That’s why I outlined how a coder could do it without Pro… but unfortunately what I outlined is the easiest way without that plugin and even then it’s not super easy.

Please let us know if you ever have any more questions. Cheers!
