is it possible to create a slider or a carousel that will display pictures from a certain event post by post id?
any similar thoughts?
my client would like to show pictures from events on the home page similar to the "paparazzi" frame on this page:

obviously I would like to be able to change the event pictures displaying every couple of days.

Hello mh1562,
You would have to custom code this. While we can't really support customizations, I can say that the tutorial that would probably lead you in the right direction is this one: http://tri.be/add-the-post-thumbnail-to-your-event-list/ and this one: http://tri.be/themers-guide-to-the-events-calendar/
Obviously you are trying to get more than a post thumbnail in a category, but I think the idea is that first you need to get your blog to pull images from the events, then tell those images "where to go" in a sense.

Hi Joyce,
I don't have much programming knowledge and i am not very familiar with code in such level.
I was looking to find a plugin that will do the job with simple installation and configuration if the thing is possible.
Thank you

will it be possible to display on a slider the photos from a selected event post instead?
Hey mh1562 ... unfortunately it's not something that The Events Calendar can do by itself - if you aren't at home with PHP then your best bet is to continue searching for a plugin that might be able to automate this for you.
Sorry we can't do more!
