Venue Image

[Tineke]

Is there a way to add a featured image to a venue?
I have tried adding:
add_theme_support(‘post-thumbnails’, array(‘post’, ‘page’, ‘tribe_events’, ‘tribe_venue’));
to functions.php but that doesn’t seem to do anything?

+1 to this question. I’d really like to add a featured image to venue, too.

@Timothy : I have accomplished it by ‘hacking’ the plugin files (which for sure is not the best way):
lib/the-events-calendar.class.php >(somewhere around line 37)
change:
‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’),
to:
‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’,’thumbnail’),

Ah, yes, thank you! – that does work. We’ll just have to keep an eye on it when we upgrade as it will get overwritten. thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Solid suggestion, Tineke! Glad you found a workaround – though as Timothy notes, you’ll want to keep track of it when you update so you know to make those needed changes again.

I have logged this as a proposed feature for a future release, too. I can see the value in it. No guarantees it’ll make the cut or when, but it’s on the radar. Thanks for the tip.

+1… I would also really like this feature

Thanks for the note Jesse. There has definitely been a demand for this and since we’re planning on beefing up the venue pages in the 2.1 lifecycle anyway, this will likely be one of the changes that comes about during that.
