EventON Event Photos

Description

The Event Photos add-on adds a dedicated image gallery to each EventON event, displaying photos directly in the expanded calendar card without requiring external shortcodes or additional gallery plugins. Built for organizers who document past editions or present visual previews of upcoming events, the component creates an upload field in the event editor and renders clickable thumbnails with a responsive lightbox in the public view.

Key Features

• Native gallery per event
  Adds a multiple-image upload field directly in the editor of each EventON event.
• Display in the expanded card
  Renders the photos inside the event details block in the public calendar.
• Integrated lightbox
  Opens images in an enlarged view on click, with navigation between photos from the same gallery.
• Responsive layout
  Adjusts the thumbnail grid based on screen size on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
• Setup in the EventON panel
  Lets you enable the gallery per event and define display behavior in the base plugin options.

Event Photos Benefits

• Richer visual presentation
  Turns the events page into a photo record, increasing visitor engagement.
• Memory of past editions
  Preserves the visual history of past events as social proof for new sign-ups.
• Less reliance on external plugins
  Eliminates the need to use third-party galleries or manual shortcodes inside the event content.
• Unified workflow in the admin
  Centralizes photo creation in the same editor where the event is set up, without screen switching.

Who Is It For?

• Organizers of recurring events who want to visually document each edition.
• Venues, cultural spaces, and production companies that use EventON as a public agenda.
• Schools, churches, and communities that need to display photographic records of previous meetups.

For sites that already use EventON as their main calendar, Event Photos fills the gap of having no native support for galleries per event, removing the need to embed media plugin shortcodes in the event content. The result is a more complete event page, with text, date, location, and visual documentation in a single cohesive block—useful both for promoting upcoming events and for preserving the archive of editions already held.
