Calendar Event Thumbnail

Tuan was quick to fix the issue on my site. He also let me know that this feature should be included in the core build for the next version. No ETA on the next version... Hope this bit of news will help other users out.

1.6.2, any chance of getting this fixed?

Still not included in the core build as of v1.6.9... but I rebuilt the patch for myself (and everyone else) to use

WORKING v1.6.9 PATCH ATTACHED! (EDIT: patch still confirmed working as of v1.7.3)
Use it to overwrite [ /components/com_eventbooking/views/common/calendar.php ].

CHARACTER LIMITER ADDED: I included code to trim the event name text that appears under the image down to 38 characters (or less... it breaks on the 'space' before the 38th character) because my long event names were really making the calendar cells appear really tall. You can change the 38-character default limit on line 82 (look for $charlimit = 38;) if you need it shorter or longer (if you want to disable it completely, just set it way higher that you'll ever need, eg. 999).

CSS STYLE THOUGHTS: I made some changes to on my site to the CSS styles that are applied to the calendar. These are made on my local site via a CSS override script and not in the attached file. Here are the overrides I applied if anyone cares to know what I found works better for me.
Note: DON'T USE the OLD v1.5.3 PATCH that Tuan posted in response to the OP as it will not work with CURRENT BUILDS!! It looks like there were file location & variable changes made some time after the build ( v1.5.3) that the original patch was built on.

Please add this feature to core!!

Third time I have edited this, sorry.
I have installed EB 1.7.3 and the path doesn't exist for that patch.
Also the thumbnails are not working at all (will not even upload).

Any ideas?

@Alison Gregory: I haven't upgraded to 1.7.3 yet, but it works fine in my current 1.7.1 install. I will probably upgrade at 1.7.4, so I will post back then and let you know if I need to revise my code for that release.

This patch works 100% with Event Booking version 1.7.3.

Update : This is now integrated in the core download package which you can download from server. Just update to this latest version, then go to Configuration, look at Themes tab, find the config option "Show Event Image in Calendar", set it to Yes and the thumb image of event will be displayed in calendar (main calendar, not mini calendar as mini calendar doesn't have enough space to display it)

Thanks James for sharing the patch.

Regards,

Tuan
