Thumbnails

[Alex]

Is it possible to add thumbnails to:
The “Events” Posts admin page where all events are listed.
Venues
Organizers
Make Calendar Thumbnails in hover to load the event on click (server side)
…without messing with core or plugin folders ?

Thanks -Alex

Hey Alex. Thanks for the note. At this point adding thumbnails to the admin page and organizers isn’t possible (though you maybe could hack something together). You may be able to add an image into the venue description but I wouldn’t advise it unless you’re willing to play around with the styling to integrate it.

Regarding “make calendar thumbnails in hover to load the event on click”….not sure I understand this. Can you elaborate?

Figured it out with JQuery for now.Thanks though man Cant wait for the new upcoming plugins for this !

[Rob]

Excellent! Glad to see you got this figured out, and thanks for the words. We’re looking forward to seeing where it all goes too. Let me know if you need anything else.

So opened up /lib/the-events-calendar.class and added on Line 30+

protected $postVenueTypeArgs = array(
‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’,’thumbnail’, ‘custom-fields’),
);
protected $postOrganizerTypeArgs = array(
‘supports’ => array(‘thumbnail’, ‘custom-fields’),
);

Now it works, maybe it will overwrite it in the next update unless its added … thanks

Hey there! If you didn’t do this as a template override (creating an ‘events’ folder in your theme directory and copying over the files you want to change so you’re modifying them there), it probably will be overwritten next time you update the plugin. If that’s the case you may want to keep the code on hand so you can easily add it back in at that point.

Let me know what else we can do.
