Hey,

after updating to 3.1.28.3 today my featured images stopped working on my event-list-display.php, which contains this:

This worked fine until I updated, and images are also still showing up in the calendar when enabled. What am i missing?

Thanks!

echo $event_meta[‘event_thumbnail_url’];

Hi Stefan,

Did you copy your changes in the event_list_display.php templates into /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates?

If not, you can reapply the modifications to the template files and then copy event_list.php and event_list_display.php into /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates so they do not get overwritten on an update.

Hi, Josh.

That’s what I did. The developer templates are active it seems. If I replace the feat-image snippet with a random string, it shows up on the page. But with the snippet, it seems as if nothing is being output.

Just tried putting this into event-registration-display.php to see if it shows up there, but no luck there as well.

Any other ideas I could explore?

Thanks for the help,
Stefan

Can you post a gist or a pastebin so I can take a look at the code you were using?

Josh – anything you could see in that code that looked wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Stephan,

That’s the recurring events template. In order to get the featured images to work on these, you’d need to make a few extra modifications:

Step 1 is to add event_meta to the array near the bottom of event_list.php. Example code follows:

$event_data = array(
                                'event_id' => $event_id,
                                'event_page_id' => $event_page_id,
                                'event_name' => $event_name,
                                'event_desc' => $event_desc,
                                'start_date' => $start_date,
                                'end_date' => $end_date,
                                'reg_limit' => $reg_limit,
                                'registration_url' => $registration_url,
                                'overflow_event_id' => $overflow_event_id,
                                'event_meta' => $event_meta

                            );

Step 2 is to replace what you have now for the featured image display in event_list_display.php with the following:

<img src="<?php echo $first_event_instance['event_meta']['event_thumbnail_url']?>" />
