How to Show Event Photos in Your Calendar Embed

Control whether photos submitted with calendar events appear in your newsroom's public calendar embed.

Before You Begin

You must be a Group administrator to follow this guide. Outlet members without admin permission won't see the settings described below. Ask your Group administrator if you're not sure which role you have.

You will need:

  • A Group you administer that has at least one calendar embed configured

Instructions

Open the Calendar

  1. Log in to Plucky Newsroom and click Events in the top navigation.

  2. Click Calendars in the secondary navigation bar that appears below.

  3. Click the name of the calendar you want to configure.

Choose a Photo Display Option

  1. Under Event photos, choose one of the three options:

    Option What it does
    No photos Photos submitted with events are not shown in the embed.
    First photo only The first photo from each event's photo list appears in the embed.
    All photos Every photo attached to an event is shown in the embed.

  2. Click Save.

What Happens Next

The setting takes effect the next time the embed's event feed refreshes from the cache. Depending on your cache interval, changes may take a few minutes to appear in the live embed on your website.

The setting applies to all approved events displayed in that calendar. Events that were approved before you changed the setting are also affected; no re-approval is needed.

Next Steps

Troubleshooting

  • I don't see an Event photos setting under the calendar: The calendar may not have business submissions enabled. Contact support@pluckyworks.org to check the calendar's configuration.

  • Photos are still not showing after I saved the setting: The embed may be serving a cached version of the event feed. Wait a few minutes and reload the page where your embed appears. If photos still don't appear after the cache refreshes, confirm that the relevant events have approved photos attached by checking the event detail in your moderation queue.

  • Still stuck? Email support@pluckyworks.org or ask another Owner of your Group.
