Adding Custom Filter to Filter Bar

[Jean-Philippe]

since i dont want to invade someone else post im refining on a question with an answer i saw in the forums earlier

I wish to add a custom filter linked to a custom taxonomy that is in turn linked to my event.
I saw this code:

add_filter( 'tribe_events_all_filters_array', 'custom_add_filter_callback' );
function custom_add_filter_callback( $filters ) {
  $filters['unique_slug'] = array(
      'name' => 'your_filter_name',
      'type' => '',
      'admin_form' => '',
    );

    return $filters;
}

Its a good start but i would really like to know how to add the taxonomy data and make it available in the filter-bar.

thanks

Howdy Jean,

I would love to help you with this.

I actually an example of adding a second taxonomy filter available:

https://gist.github.com/elimn/99bf67696bb3e1be85d9c4b0300314c5

My filter is not actually for a separate taxonomy, but rather it is the regular category filter styled a bit differently. But it should still prove pretty helpful in showing how best to add filters.

I started by extending <span class=”pl-e”>Tribe__Events__Filterbar__Filters__Category which is located in the-events-calendar-filterbar/src/Tribe/Filters/Category.php and I would recommend you do the same. In you case you would likely want to override the pre_get_posts() method in that function with one of your own. If I understand you right all you want to do is the change the taxonomy itself, so if you copy/paste the current method into you new class that extends the old (like my example) then just change the taxonomy in there you should be all set!</span>

Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!
