Hi, in 2.0.11 we had our Artist’s pictures in the post and their website linked to the pic (opening artists got a text link), the ticket links were also a graphic in the post with the TicketMaster url linked to the graphic. The artists pictures showed up in list view. You can see this at http://birchmere.com/calendar/
With 3.0 the only way to have the artists pics in list view is to make it a featured image (and if it’s a co-bill I make a pic with both artists combined) that’s ok, it looks good actually and the photo view is great! 🙂 See the test environment at http://illumn8r.com/birchtest/calendar/ It would be nice to link the artists website to the pic but from what I’ve read you cannot make a featured image an outside URL, that’s ok, will just make their names the links. However, we would really like to get the ticket link showing in list view as well so that those people that don’t bother to click on individual events can just scroll the list and by tickets. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?
As a bonus question where in the css can I change the default links color to the darker blue that you see on the posts at the current site as opposed to the test site where the default is a much lighter blue, we manually changed the color in all of the posts and that’s a real pain.

DaveHey birchmere,
Thank you for posting here, and for your patience. I’m sorry we weren’t able to get to your post earlier. We do not do support over the weekend, but we’ll get you a more substantial reply as soon as possible.
Best,
LeahHi birchmere,
There are quite a few questions in there and generally speaking it’s best to create separate threads for separate issues. Let’s start with the thumbnails:
It would be nice to link the artists website to the pic but from what I’ve read you cannot make a featured image an outside URL
You could for instance create an additional field called Artist URL then use that as the link for the featured image (you could either replace the use of tribe_event_featured_image() within the single-events.php template with your own code or else filter tribe_event_featured_image and change the URL that way).
However, we would really like to get the ticket link showing in list view as well so that those people that don’t bother to click on individual events can just scroll the list and by tickets.
Can you confirm how you are associating the TicketMaster URL with each event – are you using an additional field for this?

Have you tried changing your theme stylesheet? In general the link colour defined there will be respected by The Events Calendar, with one or two exceptions.

No, We are just using a Buy Ticket image with a URL attached to it
