Hi i looked around for this information but didn't figure out how to get it work

If we want to replace the default cover image for the events, we can do it by:
- putting custom cover with name:
cover-event.png

at [joomla site root]/templates/[your frontend template]/html/com_community/images/

Ok but i would like to have a jpg file. Which php file do i have to modify in order to get this? I already copied the single.php file to [joomla site root]/templates/[your frontend template]/html/com_community/layouts/events
But i don't know if this is the right thing to do.

Thank you!
Regards
Miran

Hi,

you no need to override single.php.
by default we using PNG as cover image. because PNG support transparent "color", not with JPG.

if you want to changing it to JPG. you must edit the core file:
/components/com_community/tables/event.php:
line 1189:

return CUrlHelper::coverURI($this->cover, 'cover-event.png');

return CUrlHelper::coverURI($this->cover, 'cover-event.jpg');

Hi Albertus and thank you for your explanations!

Is there a way to override it?
For example by putting this file in this folder :
[joomla site root]/templates/[your frontend template]/html/com_community/tables/ ?

Hi Miran,

it cant. the override only for templates folder, not for jomsocial core file.
I suggest you to using PNG instead of JPG
