I have created a custom event submission form using Builder. Two items within the form are selecting a calendar and adding an image. Each calendar in the list to choose from is actually a meeting room located within a specific building. I have a specific image of each meeting room that I would like to use for an event scheduled in that room. Is there a way to associate a specific image with a calendar when creating an event by having the user just select the calendar ? I want to eliminate the possibility of the user using the wrong image for the selected calendar.
Open your theme functions.php file and at the bottom add following code:
add_filter('stec_insert_post', function($data) {
if ('stec_event' !== $data['post_type']) { return $data; }
$image_id = false; $calendar_id = (int) $data['meta_input']['calid'];
switch ($calendar_id) {
case 1: $image_id = 101; break; // Sets image with id 101 for calendar with id 1
case 2: $image_id = 102; break; // Sets image with id 102 for calendar with id 2
// etc... }
if ($image_id) { $data['meta_input']['images'] = array_unique(array_merge($data['meta_input']['images'], array($image_id))); }
return $data; });
Just change the values for the image and calendar id numbers.

Hi,
You can do it via filter.
Open your theme functions.php file and at the bottom add following code:
add_filter('stec_insert_post', function($data) { if ('stec_event' !== $data['post_type']) {
return $data;
} $image_id = false;
$calendar_id = (int) $data['meta_input']['calid']; switch ($calendar_id) {
case 1: $image_id = 101; break; // Sets image with id 101 for calendar with id 1
case 2: $image_id = 102; break; // Sets image with id 102 for calendar with id 2
// etc...
} if ($image_id) {
$data['meta_input']['images'] = array_unique(array_merge($data['meta_input']['images'], array($image_id)));
}
return $data;
});
Just change the values for the image and calendar id numbers.

Where do I get the image id from ? I would have thought I needed to have a path to the image from the media library ('http://...')
Go to Dashboard -> Media.
In the Media Library click on the image to open Attachment Details popup.
In the browser url you will see .../wp-admin/upload.php?item=229
229 will be your image id number.
