Add Filter with existing taxonomy/category

[Andrew Peters]

Hey there! I just got filter bar. My knowledge of PHP is pretty limited, but I’m a decent Googler. 🙂

I am using CPT UI to add two custom taxonomies to a few existing post types. Those taxonomies are ‘campus’ to select which location the event is relevant to, and ‘department’ to select which department the event is relative to.

I see the article on how to build a custom filter from scratch, but I cannot seem to find anything on adding an existing taxonomy to the filter bar.

I found this article as well: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/generic-function-for-adding-custom-taxonomy-to-the-filter-bar/

Can you tell me if I add that block of code and then add
new Tribe__Events__Filterbar__Custom('Taxonomy Name','tax_slug');
`new Tribe__Events__Filterbar__Custom(‘Taxonomy Name’,’tax_slug’);’

to my functions.php file if that will solve my problem? Or is there something else I need to do?

Hi Andrew, thanks for reaching out to us!

Personally I haven’t played with that snippet much, but according to the poster it should work.

Based on what I read there you need to add that block of code to your functions.php file.

Then at the end, before the ‘endif;’ add the ‘new Tribe__Events__Filterbar…’ line as many times as you need.

Do not forget to change ‘tax_slug’ to the slugs your taxonomies use.

And that should be it I believe.

Let me know how that plays out.

Cheers,
Andras
