I have read through a number of the forum posts and it is my understanding that the EventEspresso Grid View Add-On uses the default thumbnail size, from Media Settings in WordPress. As this is a site wide setting, I don’t want to change it, for fear of unwanted results on other pages / posts. I am using the Grid View Add-On in two places, one a grid-view based page of all workshops that are upcoming…I am happy with the image sizes there. I am also using the grid-view as a part of my home page. I have the layout exactly how I want it and I have used CSS in my child theme to size the images for each event displayed in the grid…all good there.
My issue is, on the home page only, I would like to display larger images in the grid (300 X 300 to be exact…the medium size). Is there a way I could make a second copy of the plugin, giving it an alternate name, and have that copy of the plugin use the medium size as its default?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Instead of making a copy of the entire plugin, you can make a copy of the grid template’s espresso-grid-template.template.php and put the copy into your active WordPress theme’s folder. Then you make a few modifications to your copy:
1) at the top of the file after the line that has // Options you add this:
$frontpage_id = get_option( 'page_on_front' );
$this_page_id = get_the_id();
2) Then a bit further down in the file, you change this:
$feature_image_url = $post->EE_Event->feature_image_url();
to this:
if ( $this_page_id == $frontpage_id ) {
$feature_image_url = $post->EE_Event->feature_image_url('medium');
} else {
$feature_image_url = $post->EE_Event->feature_image_url();
}

Makes complete sense and worked perfectly.
Thank you so much for your rapid and extremely helpful response!

For anyone else reading this thread, the use of a child-theme made this update / customization very easy to do and I know that future updates to the plugin and / or the theme are safe (barring a change of variable names). I can’t recommend a child theme strongly enough…has made a huge difference over and over again.
