Add Short description & pictures in Calendar View

In the full calendar view, all I seem to be able to see is the event title. I really need more information than this such as a picture and/or description. I also wouldn't mind showing the price in the Calendar view as well as potentially other options. How can I make these changes. Thanks

Hi dswatson83

In the current version of the extension, the above information is not available in the calendar. if you want to display these information, you need to edit the code. The file need to be modified is components/com_eventbooking/views/calendar/tmpl/default.php (I will consider adding support for event thumbnail in calendar for future release but it is not available for now) .

I would also love to see the ability to add pictures to the full calendar view. Being able to have the option to show prices would also be an excellent option. There seems to increased demand for people to show images in the calendar view. Tuan, thanks for all your hard work and custom coding you have done for us. Having pictures in the calendar view would really be the icing on the cake for this plugin... Thanks in advance!

Just seeing if there has been any development toward adding images to events in the calendar view. Thanks for all you do!

I was able to pull it off with a code modification and got the 'short description' info to appear in the calendar view so I just put the image in there. There are still a few quirks though as I have to modify the html in the short description to change the minimum width of the box to be smaller than the width of the calendar cell but it works. I also need to change the picture to less than 100px each time to get it to fit as it won't automatically generate a thumbnail but that's not a big deal to me. Wasn't the easiest mod but it isn't crazy difficult either. Not sure why it hasn't been implemented yet as it really is not that hard for someone experienced. Feel free to look at my example at www.canvasandcheers.com . You will see pictures in the calendar.

That looks great Dan. Is that something a novice could pull off? I'm not very good at this stuff yet but I would love my calendar to have more than the event name and little calendar icon on it. Thanks!

It was probably a little difficult for a novice. You need to at least have an understanding of coding...but it was not super advanced. I was hoping that an upgrade would have been issued by now allowing most of these features given that it has been 5months since the last update. The obvious problem with changing the code yourself is once the calendar is upgraded, it will be much harder to implement the upgrade.
