No pro widgets?

[Justin]

3.0 plugin descriptions says I should have a Next Events widget and a Events List Advanced widget, but all I have is:

Events Calendar
Events Countdown
Events Featured Venue
Events List

Is that right? Maybe they’re just called something different in the plugin vs the marketing?

Hi Justin,

There is no Next Events widget anymore. Where are you seeing it listed in the description? We replaced it with the List Widget.

Must just be in the demo site http://wpshindig.com/event-widgets/

In the old widgets I was able to display the event thumbnail as part of each event listing. That doesn’t seem to be the case now. Is the only way to get this back to manually edit the widget template?

Hi Justin,

Ahh good catch, that’s something we need to update (the wpshindig site). Thanks for pointing that out!

Yes, to get the event thumbnail in the widget you’ll need to modify the widget template. This is pretty easy to do though. You just need to make a copy of /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/views/widgets/list-widget.php and place in a ‘tribe-events/widgets’ folder in your theme. Then just add this code wherever you want the image to display and feel free to add your own markup to be able to style it: http://snippi.com/s/18jsqyt

I hope that helps but let me know if you have any questions.

I’m trying to update the Featured Venue widget, so I copied venue-widget.php to my themeFolder/widgets/, and inserted that thumbnail code, but it’s still not showing up.

Here’s my modified venue-widget.php: http://snippi.com/s/vxwqthm, see line 37.

Here’s an example of where this code should be executing right now: http://ncmf.pricelessmisc.com/events/#listEvents-fillmore

Hi Justin,

You need to specify the event ID in the tribe_event_featured_image() function like so:

tribe_event_featured_image($event->ID)

Try that and let me know how it works.
