Custom Image Size & a few image questions

  • Hey,
    Firstly thanks for the plugin – it’s great for events listings where loads of bells & whistles are not necessary!

    My main question is regarding image sizes, I’m developing a Genesis child theme for use on a site and I have some custom image sizes setup for use in various widgets and locations across the website, but they do not appear in the dropdown list for featured image size settings for this plugin. I just see ‘thumb, small, medium and large’.

    Does the plugin have its own settings for image sizes rather than using the ones defined for use in wordpress? Is there any way to add more? I know full well that the site owner will upload images in completely the wrong dimensions if given the chance, so prefer to set them to specific size and have it crop automatically on upload.

    IMAGE ORDERING IN WIDGET:
    I would also ideally like the homepage widget to show the image first and then the title, date & location of the event – by default the image appears to be last? I can force this with css by using absolute positioning within the div, but again would really need a defined image size so this can work and looks right.

    DEFAULT IMAGE:
    Is there a way to set a default image if no featured image is set? I know how to do this for blog pages etc. but would rather not edit the plugin files as it’ll be overwritten each time I upgrade!

    SINGLE EVENT PAGE IMAGE
    And final image question – I don’t have an image showing on the event page (single event not listing) – is this down to my single.php file setup not showing the featured image?

    Thanks in advance ??

    Hi Sadie,

    About the featured image sizes.. my plugin uses the native sizes and you can set them via Settings > Media. The post-thumbnail size is handled (set) by your theme. To be clear, they will be used AS SOURCE for the featured image. The width of the featured image is set on max. 40% of the event content area.

    SINGLE EVENT PAGE IMAGE
    The featured image in a single event is also handled by your theme. On the single event page my plugin does one thing only: it hooks into the content section, everything outside that section is handled by your theme. Because many themes support the featured image in their single event template, my plugin does not include it there.

    IMAGE ORDERING IN WIDGET:
    The featured image in a widget is not displayed after the textual content, but inside that section. You can also left or right align the image there. Similar to the events when using the shortcode.

    DEFAULT IMAGE:
    Currently I don’t see the need for adding an option for setting a default featured image, sorry.

    Guido
