No fallback/default image for photo view

    In photo view, if there is no featured image set for an event, TEC will show a default/fallback image. This helps maintain the grid and prevents things from looking broken. But when using your plugin to show a thumbnail, no default/fallback image is shown.

    Example shortcode: [ecs-list-events past=’yes’ order=’DESC’ limit=”999″ thumb=’true’ thumbsize=’medium’ contentorder=’thumbnail, title,date’] — events without a featured image don’t display a thumbnail.

    I think that a default/fallback image should be shown, just as when using TEC’s photo view.

    (Side note: I have set a custom fallback/default image for TEC photo view as described here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/changing-the-default-featured-image-in-photo-view/ — this also does not work with this plugin, the custom fallback/default image is not shown.)

    Hi @jesseamber !

    That’s correct, in our shortcode there is no default image functionality and the customization in that article is specific to the template inside The Events Calendar itself. Doing so with our The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block plugin would require some customization as well.

    There doesn’t appear to be a good filter to use in the free version currently, but in the pro version the template can be modified to add in similar logic, ie. with the default design:

    While help with customizations is beyond the support we can provide, if we do create an article on adding a default/featured placeholder image we’ll be sure to add it to our blog (and try to update with a link here):

    Cheers!

    Please consider this a feature request. The shortcode should maintain the default image functionality of the original TEC plugin. Instead it is removing a function that was already present.
