Problem:
The user would like to create an archive template for the Organizers and the Venues post types that are registered by
TheEventsCalendar plugin.

Solution:
The plugin registers both post types without the option to have archives. We can hook into the registering process and change the arguments of the post types. This is an example for the Venues post types(slug: tribe_venue):

add_filter( 'register_post_type_args', 'change_tec_venue_cpt', 10, 2 );
 
function change_tec_venue_cpt( $args, $post_type ){
 
    if( $post_type === 'tribe_venue' ){
        $args['has_archive'] = 'venue';
        $args['rewrite'] = array(
            'slug' => 'venues',
            'with_front' => true,
        );
    }
    return $args;
}

Problem:

The issue here is that the user has a set of taxonomies with the hidden custom field 'thumbnail_id' that stores the id's of images on their wordpress install.

They want to retrieve the images in their taxonomy archive based on the id in thumbnail_id field.

Solution:

You can actually get the id from the field using the shortcode in the link below.
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#vf-425160

However in order to get the actual image you will need to use the function below and wrap it as a shortcode.

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_get_attachment_image/

The custom shortcode for this would be

// Add Shortcode
function cust_get_image_from_id( $atts ) {

	// Attributes
	$atts = shortcode_atts(
		array(
			'thumbnail_id' => '',
		),
		$atts
	);

	return wp_get_attachment_image($atts['thumbnail_id']);

}
add_shortcode( 'image_from_id', 'cust_get_image_from_id' );

Add this to your custom code section in Toolset -> Settings -> Custom Code and activate it. Once you have done this you can then use the shortcode like this [image_from_id thumbnail_id="[wpv-taxonomy-field name='thumbnail_id']"]
