Pulling images in event list view

[Robert]

Hi guys,
I wondered if there was a way to make the featured image for an event automatically re-size to a thumbnail (say 150×150) and display in the “event-list” view to the left, next to the excerpt. Right now my list s like such: http://nagoya-info.com/events/upcoming/
The second event on the list does have a featured image already attached but it doesn’t show in the list view, hence the question.

Thanks guys
Robert

Hey Robert. We recently put together a tutorial along these lines for widgets, not the list (https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-show-featured-thumbnails-in-the-next-events-widget/). But it should point you in the right direction…does it? Let me know if not and I can get Jonah to chime in directly.

Thanks for getting back to me Rob.

Yeah I checked out the tutorial. It all makes good sense and I can follow it but a some direction with how to apply the case to the events list view would be really helpful!
Thanks for the offer

Sure thing, Robert. Let me see if Jonah has any ideas here. I’ll get him to take a look when he hits the forums tomorrow.

Hi Rob, just wondering if Johah had seen the post?

Thanks

Hey Robert,

This is more customization than we can offer in the forum but basically you have a couple options:

1. Use TimThumb to automatically create this 150×150 thumbnail for you from the featured image.
2. Register another image size in WordPress to be 150×150 and use this in your template.

There’s tons of tutorials on the net on how to do either of these things.

Good luck!
