Show events in photo view

You can’t use photo view directly from any of Event Rocket’s existing shortcodes, but you could certainly list events with the [embed_events] shortcode and make it look and behave in a similar fashion.

Can you provide any more hints about how to achieve that please? I’ve been trying to find some examples but no luck so far. For instance, you give an example about how to define an inline template for the output of [event_embed]. How is the event image called in this format?

[event_embed tag=”featured” category=”-private”]
{title} on {start_date}
[/event_embed]

Or even would you be able to give us a sample template.php that we could use to start with, writing our own CSS to style it up? Doesn’t need have the full photo metro style from Events Calendar Pro at all, but perhaps just a simple list. That would be incredibly helpful as a starting point as so many people are trying to pull images into their events listing outside of the main events pages (e.g. homepage). Any help is appreciated!

Hi @intandem,

If you prefer to use inline templates then you can use the {thumbnail} placeholder.

The default template used by the shortcode when nothing else is specified already includes each event’s featured image where available, so you could also try using that as the foundation of your own custom template. It can be found here:
