Events Page Image

Hi all, 

I was wondering if you could help me, I'm currently using the Pacific template on 7.0 and I am trying to add an image block to the to the event info bar on the left hand side of an events listing (where I have drawn a red box on the image), from what I can see there isn't a way to do this natively so I was wondering if there is a way to put one in with CSS? 

Thanks for your help 🙂 

Hey @DanPrime!

You can add an image there via CSS, if it's NOT meant to be a clickable element. Otherwise you'll need JavaScript.

If it's just an image what you're after, this code should help you get there:

.eventitem-column-meta::after {
  background-image: url(IMAGE.PNG);
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: contain;
  content: '';
  display: block;
  height: 200px;
  width: 100%;
}

You'll need to:

• Replace IMAGE.PNG with the URL of the image you want to use.
• Modify the height property to make the image bigger or smaller (horizontally it'll reach a maximum width that matches the sidebar content)
• Change background-position to left or right, if you need to realign the image.

-------------------

Note that the code, as is, will apply to ALL event items inside your site.

Therefore ALL of them will have the same image showing in that area.

If you want to narrow things down to ONE event, you can include the Page ID in your code, like so:

#page-id-goes-here .eventitem-column-meta::after {
  background-image: url(IMAGE.PNG);
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: contain;
  content: '';
  display: block;
  height: 200px;
  width: 100%;
}

Hope this helps!

If you use a Business Plan or higher, you can add this to Code Injection > Footer. The code will grab Event Thumbnail & Move to position in your screenshot

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.slim.js"></script>
<script>
   jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
        a = $('meta[property="og:image"]');
    a.attr("content", a.attr("content").replace("http", "https"));
        var t = a.attr("content");
        $('meta[property="og:description"]').attr("content");
        $('<div class="event-banner"><img class="event-banner-image" src="' + t + '"></div>').insertAfter("ul.eventitem-meta.event-meta.event-meta-address-container");
});
</script>
<style>
  .event-banner img {
    width: 80%;
    height: auto;
}
</style>

You're a legend, thank you 🙂
