New Changes in image format of Events @ Facebook

[Timothy Wood]

Hey guys I have updated our plugin with a change to retrieve cover images instead of the normal picture api. In the next release it will have this built in; however, in the meantime if you feel like replace the method get_facebook_photo in the-events-calendar-facebook-importer.php (line 273 in version 1.5) to add additional parsing to the Facebook Open Graph picture import. You can use the code in https://gist.github.com/codearachnid/5371606 to get the largest version of the cover image that Facebook will supply.

Right. Facebook’s new emphasis on photos altered their events table/ graph API so that “cover” is the new default field…

If the dev is reading this thread, he full image in the graph api is
“cover”: {
“cover_id”: id-number,
“source”: “https://sphotos-url.jpg”
}

“the” full image
