More gallery type images for events/venues

[edmundus]

Is it possible to add more than just the featured image to event posts/venues. I realise you can just insert images into the description but this is untidy and not great for responsive sites. Something like a Woocommerce product page gallery would be ideal.

Any thoughts welcome.

Anything is possible!

If you don’t want to place those images in the description though you’d need to get creative: there might be some existing plugins out there you can re-purpose and I seem to remember there is one that even lets you add multiple featured images to posts, including (I believe) custom post types such as events.

Combine something like that with a template override (you might customize the single-event.php template and replace the tribe_event_featured_image() call with some new function that takes a stack of featured images and transforms them into a gallery/slideshow, for instance) and you should be able to get there.

You can find out more about template overrides and safe customization of The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO in our Themer’s Guide:

I hope that helps 🙂

Hi Barry – an add on question to this.
If I want to style the featured image either in the event post or in the list view – is there a simple way to do so w/ custom CSS?

I’m sorry we didn’t see your post – unfortunately we aren’t alerted to new replies unless they are made by the original poster. I’ll go ahead and close this one out as it’s been quite a while at this point, but if you do need further help please don’t hesitate to post a follow-up thread. Thanks and sorry for the confusion!
