I want to pick up a small version of the event cover to use in a custom module promoting events.

Is there a way to get this, hyperlinked is possible. I tried to right click the cover to see the image file but it looks like it's a CSS thing. How would I get the image link? (but preferably not the original as presumably that would be big file size)

Thanks!
Hi,

Great. You would first need to get the ID of the event.



$event = FD::event($eventid);



$event->getCover();


Cover actually doesn't have a size like avatar. The size is always 1 standard large as of now.

Yes if that's the way to do it. My Custom Module would be PHP happy.

Oh $eventid is what you would replace with the event id.
