All events on maps

[dirkschrama]

At the moment I show 6 events on the frontpage. The maps-view also only shows 6 events. I would love to have all events on the maps visible. How to do that?

Hi dirkschrama,

Just to make sure I’m understanding this correctly – you want to display all upcoming events (taking place at venues with sufficient address info) on map view but this should only happen on map view – is that correct?

It is probably possible to do this but if you have a truly large number of events it may also raise some performance concerns, depending of course on your particular setup and what sort of caching etc you have in place.

Hi Barry,

yes correct. We have a calendar of about 80 running events in a year spread all over the country. In the map-view we would see all these 80 events on the maps-view. In the list I still want to see 6 events, but on the Google Map on the top of the page I want the 80 markers.

Ah, I see – thanks for clarifying.

So that’s going to be slightly tricky especially if the list of events under the map will maintain the ordinary number of just 6 events per page. It’s basically going to involve some custom dev work – but here are a few pointers:

• The pinmarker data is contained in the markers element of an array, which you can filter using tribe_events_ajax_response
• Left to its own devices, Event Calendar PRO generates markers for each of the events in the list and you can see the code in TribeEventsGeoLoc::generate_markers() – you could use this as a template for your own approach, but populate the list of markers with a greater number of events than happens by default

I hope that helps – and good luck 🙂

Thanks Barry.

Our pleasure 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close the thread, but if we can help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed.

Thanks again!
