So back to my previous question:

http://www.silverstripe.org/all-other-modules/show/263522?start=8#post263758

sorry for warming up this years old threat but...

... I also had the wish to include a "teaser" pic to my events. I´ve read the Workshop tutorial but couldn´t get it to work (probably because I suck at .php). So I tried to modify the CalendarEvent.php (even though it´s recommended not to, but I have loads of events and all of them should get a pic ... I don´t wanna re-do all events in a workshop calendar again) and got it running so far... meaning it let´s me upload images but I don´t get them to show on my event pages
I´ve already tried to insert images via CMS content field but this is horrible. No matter how I align the images they always stick to the left and act as block elements dividing my text!!! I would choose that over the event.image method but somehow it doesn´t seem to work (or is it just me?)
any help would be much appreciated!!!

You can decorate on to the event class to add an image field.

CalendarEventDecorator.php

CalendarEventDecorator extends DataObjectDecorator {

public function extraStatics() {
return array (
'has_one' => array ('Image' => 'Image')
);

}

public function updateCMSFields(&$fields) {
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Image", new ImageField('Image'));
}
}

Apply the decorator in your _config:

Object::add_extension("CalendarEvent","CalendarEventDecorator");

Do a /dev/build

Then on your template:

$Event.Image

or..

<% control Event %>$Image.SetWidth(200)<% end_control %>
