Is there a setting that will allow for an event image instead of using the Calendar icon? Look at the 2 attached screenshots.

Events-(Original).png = screenshot shows the default layout of event listings.
Events-(Custom_Changes).png = screenshot shows the changes I made using firebug.
Hey Jay,

Unfortunately right now we do not have a settings for this but you can always customize the theme file located in /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/events/default.list.php to accommodate your changes

Mark,

The calendar icon is redundant due to the fact the date and time already appears. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to customize the code to add event image depicted in my first post screenshot (Events-(Custom_Changes).png). I'm able to get the event image holder in place but image does not appear.

Words can't even express how important this is to me. As much as it pains my heart to say, I don't think i'll be able to use EasySocial for my goals unless I can accomplish this task. I do believe it's the only thing left I need before I can start thinking about taking my site public.

Please help!!! If you know where to place correct code to insert associating event image in listing, please do advise.

Hey Jay,

If you can edit your first post above and include the ftp and site access, I will see what I can do to add the cover for the event

P/S: I am doing this out of good faith and generally our support does not cover customizations.

Mark,

I edited the first post. And I realize that you don't have to do this as a customization. I tremendously appreciate your efforts. If you want a donation because of it, then i'll make a donation.

Hey Jay,

No worries, we'll sort that out later but right now I can't seem to connect to the ftp This is the error that is being returned by my ftp client, http://screencast.com/t/W0NXeoCTzdv1

Is there some firewalls in place which prevents my ip address?

Hey Mark,

I went back to edit first post by simply copying and pasting correct FTP credentials but they already seemed correct. If push comes to shove just log into my GoDaddy.com hosting account and go to manage hosting which is C-Panel.

Okay, it looks like my FTP client is always using "Active" ftp mode and your ftp server requires "Passive" mode. I am able to connect to it now

I have added a new template override in /templates/rt_alerion/html/com_easysocial/events/default.item.php and it's showing the event with the cover now.

Mark,

Holly Heck!!!! It's absolutely beautiful. I absolutely love it.

Usually this is the part where i'd love for you to share with the community how you did it, but it's almost too valuable. I've seen a ton of people begging to do this and have not figured it out yet. I'll reverse engineer the override file you created for me. EasySocial will be much more of a threat to it's competitors when you add this as an option in future releases. My clients disapproved of me using EasySocial unless I can get the images to appear and you just saved me.

Thanks Mark I truly appreciate you!! You are the freakin man dude!!!

Mark,

You guys are killing the competition in this space. I seriously want a piece of this action. Are you guys on the stock market? I'm not much of an investor but I was talking with my agent at Merrill Lynch and they said they'll assist me with investing.

I've been talking you guys up like crazy and if you have a lot more plans for 2.0, then I can't wait because this will sell like madd.

Either way I can't wait man!!! Bring it!!!
Jay
