PHP – If Event Has Featured Image

[Daniel]

Hi there. I have created a child template, and I have been modifying it fine.

I have been stuck on this issue for two hours now, and my brain is fried, so I decided to ask you guys.

I need to write a script to create a div if an event has a featured image. Otherwise I need the div not to exist on the events that don’t have a featured image.

I have tried using jQuery to test $(this).hasClass(“tribe-events-event-image”) and I have tried using PHP to see if the response from tribe_event_featured_image is true or null, but I can’t figure it out.

So how do I test if the event has a featured image or not?

If you’ve followed the steps for overriding the template for single-events.php then all you have to do in this case is replace the line that calls the featured image in the PHP file with the following:

if(has_post_thumbnail($event_id)) {
  echo '<div>' . tribe_event_featured_image( $event_id, ‘full’, false ) . '</div>'; 
}

The same principle applies to any instance on other template override pages where the post_thumbnail is called.

You could even write a filter in your functions.php file that changes the html surrounding the image source:

function custom_event_featured_image_html( $featured_image, $post_id, $size ) {
	$link = true;
	$image_html = get_the_post_thumbnail( $post_id, apply_filters( 'tribe_event_featured_image_size', $size, $post_id ) );
	if ( ! empty( $image_html ) && apply_filters( 'tribe_event_featured_image_link', $link ) ) {
		$featured_image .= '<div><a href="' . esc_url( tribe_get_event_link() ) . '">' . $image_html . '</a></div>';
	}
	elseif ( ! empty( $image_html ) ) {
		$featured_image .= '<div>' . $image_html . '</div>';
	}
};
add_filter( 'tribe_event_featured_image', 'custom_event_featured_image_html', 10, 3 );

Modify as needed 🙂

Cheers.

Thanks @snorton! That looks like a great start for @djb.

Daniel, can you give that solution a try and let us know how it goes? We are happy to proofread a bit of code, but we’re limited in helping with customizations, per our Scope of Support / Terms.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Ok, in my themeFolder/tribe-events/list/single-event.php I have

<!-- Event Image -->
<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( null, 'medium') ?>
<?php
if(has_post_thumbnail($event_id)) {
  echo '<div>Hello</div>'; 
}
?>

But on the page it prints

if(has_post_thumbnail($event_id)) { echo '
Hello
'; } 

I didn’t replace the image code like you said, but added it in under so the image would show up.

Nevermind. I don’t know why it updated all of a sudden, but it did. Ignore that last post. The page now says hello where it originally had the php code.

Thank you for the helpful code and tips!

Thanks for the update Daniel. I’m glad it is working now. Do let us know if you need further help.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
