Hi Blue,

It depends on the context of the code you’re working with. Is this a page template, an Event Espresso event template, or something else?

It may help to take a look at the way the event-list-display.php template grabs the event image:

echo apply_filters('filter_hook_espresso_display_featured_image', $event_id, !empty($event_meta['event_thumbnail_url']) ? $event_meta['event_thumbnail_url'] : '');

Note that earlier in event_list.php that $event_id and $event_meta get set by the current event ID in the loop. You can base your code off this, or alternatively check out the espresso_get_event function that’s located in /event-espresso/includes/functions/main.php.

its part of a page template that will display when there is no events

<code>
&lt;div class=&quot;event-data-display ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom&quot;&gt;
&lt;div id=&quot;espresso_featured_image-17&quot; class=&quot;ee-product-image&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://blue-carrots.com/event-registration/?ee=17&quot; style=&quot;position: relative; overflow: hidden;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://blue-carrots.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/documentation.png&quot; title=&quot;Featured Image&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;image-overlay overlay-type-extern&quot; style=&quot;display: none;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;image-overlay-inside&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;	
					
&lt;div class=&quot;event-meta&quot;&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;product_price&quot; id=&quot;p_event_price-17&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;section-title&quot;&gt;Price: 
&lt;/span&gt; £145.00
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;product-register-link-footer&quot; id=&quot;register_link-17&quot;&gt;
&lt;a direct_to_cart=&quot;0&quot; moving_to_cart=&quot;Please+wait+redirecting+to+cart+page&quot; title=&quot;Personal Licence Application&quot; href=&quot;http://blue-carrots.com/event-registration/?event_id=17&quot; id=&quot;cart_link_17&quot; class=&quot;ee_view_cart ee_add_item_to_cart&quot;&gt;Add to Basket&lt;/a&gt;				
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- / .event-data-display --&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- / .event-display-boxes --&gt;

</code>

insted of the image code i want it to be dynamic so if event 17 is updated the image will be changed

So event 17 is the event that will always be displayed in this situation?

If so you could us the event_espresso_get_event_meta() function to pull the event meta and then echo the thumbnail using the code Josh provided.

Something like

$event_id = 17;
$event_meta = event_espresso_get_event_meta($event_id);

Will pull all the event_meta for event 17.

Then as Josh pointed out, use:

echo apply_filters('filter_hook_espresso_display_featured_image', $event_id, !empty($event_meta['event_thumbnail_url']) ? $event_meta['event_thumbnail_url'] : '');

to output the link for the thumbnail URL.
