CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have a Drupal View that lists the next 5 upcoming CiviEvents, along with the usual link to the event information page.  In the list of 5 upcoming events, I would like to display a small image for each event, which will be added by the event organizer.

What I have done so far: 
- I added a custom data set that is defined as "Used For ... Events" 
- In this custom data set, I added one custom field of type "file". ( this part works as expected, the event organizer is able to upload an image for each event as they are configuring a CiviEvent.)
- The image does show on the event information page as expected. (The URL for the image src tag is: http://myorganization.org/civicrm/file?reset=1&id=71&eid=6 )

But I am unable to get the Upcoming Event View to display this image inline.  In fact, I cannot even get the image to display when I paste the image URL to a new browser tab.  (BTW: When I used Drupal Views to do an inline display of contact images, that worked fine)

Any ideas/approaches are appreciated.

Hi - great approach.  this is what I've been doing too.  have you tried a views rewrite with an <img> tag?  I believe the way it works is for the file upload to put it on the server and the custom field is a URL to the file. 

Caveat - I have been using https://www.drupal.org/project/civicrm_entity rather than views integration (incredible if you do a lot in drupal) so I may be mistaken.  In that case would suggest you use it instead.
