Hi Alex

In Events Booking, the size of thumbnail images for event can be changed in Configuration of the extension. Go to Events Booking->Configuration, change Thumbnail Width and Thumbnail Height parameter to meet your need. Then re-upload the thumbnail image and it will work well.

If you want to display the thumb images in up-coming events module, you will need to customize code because it is not showing in the module at the moment. The file need to be customized is modules/mod_eb_events/tmpl/default.php

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

Thanks, sorry not sure how i missed the bit about the thumbnails, I thought it might be harder to find!

I have tried editing the file you mention by putting some code from the component in that loads the image in the event page:

<a href="<?php echo JURI::base().'media/com_eventbooking/images/'.$item->thumb; ?>" class="modal"><img src="<?php echo JURI::base().'media/com_eventbooking/images/thumbs/'.$item->thumb; ?>" class="eb_thumb-left"/></a>

But the thumb won't show up for some reason and i am not sure why? Ideally i would want the ahref to open the event also not just load a larger version...

Kind regards

Hi Alex

The field thumb is not available by default. You will need to edit the code alitle more so that you can use it in the code. Please try to get the file below, unzip it, upload to modules/mod_eb_events folder. After that, you you can try to use the code below to show the image in the module:
Code:
<a href="<?php echo JURI::base().'media/com_eventbooking/images/'.$row->thumb; ?>" class="modal"><img src="<?php echo JURI::base().'media/com_eventbooking/images/thumbs/'.$row->thumb; ?>" class="eb_thumb-left"/></a>

Hope it gives you alitle help !

Regards,

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

Thanks for this!

This is really getting there! I have modified the link now so it links to the event when you click on the image it load the event rather than the thumbnail.

The only last thing is if you click the image again when you are on that page it seems to be trying to load something rather than the page you are on which is odd, worst case i can always hide the module on the event page itself..

I shall definitely be leaving you a good review in the Joomla directory thanks for your help.
