Accessing all venues data

[randalldon]

Following on from my recent forum communications with Julie in the pre-sale forum https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/venus-page-funtionality/#post-76191 and Barry in the WordPress forum http://wordpress.org/support/topic/venues-page i have upgraded to the Pro version in order to get the single venue pages which works great. However, and the main part of my initial query prior to purchase was how i can access the data for all venues (title, link & featured image) in order for this to be output in a loop scenario in a page template that could be accessed on a url such as http://www.examplesite.com/venues/ or similar.

This is essential functionality really for my current project and so i really need to find a way of achieving this and so any help would be hugely appreciated.

For the featured image:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_post_thumbnail

For the link to the page, just do get_permalink($id_of_event) and then put that in a link or use
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_page_link

And to get title, you can just instantiate a WP_Post object,
http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Post
or get_post:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post

Hi Chris,

Thanks for coming back to me. Whilst i’m aware of how to get the title and image date my query relates to how to query just ‘venues’ in this. I wish to loop through all venues and output the data.

Many thnaks

I’m presuming you’re running a WP_Query already to make the loop, so all you’d need to do is just limit them to tribe_venue by doing ‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_venue’

Hi Chris,

That’s great the ‘tribe_venue’ post type was what i was looking for.

Many thanks

[Chris]

Not a problem, to be more future safe, you might want to instead use TribeEvents::VENUE_POST_TYPE where ‘tribe_venue’ is. No ”s around that though since it’s a PHP constant
