Replace ‘Map Unavailable’ with Featured Image?

    From time to time, events without a physical location are planned, such as Facebook Live Events. Since the location of the event is online rather that at a physical location, it would be great if there could be a way to display the event’s featured image in place of the ‘Map Unavailable’ text that shows where the Google Map normally would be for a physical location.

    How can we achieve something like this?

    “You will need basic HTML knowledge to edit the display.”

    edit “Single event page format” in events => settings => formatting => Events

    use PLACEHOLDERS #_EVENTIMAGE OR #_EVENTIMAGE{x,y}, conditional placeholders {has_location}content{/has_location} (event has a location.) {no_location}content{/no_location} (event does not have a location.) and custom HTML/CSS

    Just to add a bit more detail to @leleuf62’s answer.

    Under the code / formatting that looks like this…

    {has_location}
<p>
	<strong>Location</strong><br/>
	#_LOCATIONLINK
</p>
{/has_location}

    …add something like this…

    {no_location}
<p>
	
	#_EVENTIMAGE{100,100}
</p>
{/no_location}

    You may need to adjust the width and height of the image (the {100,100} part) to fit your site design.

    Great, thanks. I got the featured image to appear, but how do I get the ‘Map Unavailable’ text to disappear for events with no location?

    I figured it out. I had to wrap the map placeholder with the “has_location” tokens like this: {has_location}#_LOCATIONMAP{/has_location}

    Thanks for all your help!
