Archive templates for Venues and Organizes

[media325]

By adding the code below to my theme function file I was able to allow archives for venues and organizers.

However the archive-tribe_organizer.php and archive-tribe_venue.php template pages aren’t being called. The archives continue to load the index.php page. Have I missed something?

  //re-register tribe_organizer to allow for archive pages
function update_tribe_organizer_post_type() {
    register_post_type('tribe_organizer',
        array(
            'labels' => array (
            ),
            'public' => true,
            'has_archive' => true,
            'rewrite' => array(
                'slug' => 'organizers',
                'with_front' => false,
            ),
            'supports' => array(
                'title',
            )
        )
    );
}
add_action( 'init', 'update_tribe_organizer_post_type');
     
  //re-register tribe_venue to allow for archive pages
function update_tribe_venue_post_type() {
    register_post_type('tribe_venue',
        array(
            'labels' => array (
            ),
            'public' => true,
            'has_archive' => true,
            'rewrite' => array(
                'slug' => 'venues',
                'with_front' => false,
            ),
            'supports' => array(
                'title',
            )
        )
    );
}
add_action( 'init', 'update_tribe_venue_post_type');

Hey @media325! Nice to see you again and hope all is well. 🙂

Good question. Your functions are totally legit and on point. The issue is that our own template selector class Tribe__Events__Templates::templateChooser() intentionally overrides has_archive in order to allow the selection of a specific template in other views.

This is completely untested, but you could try doing something like this to achieve the same effect:

add_filter( 'template_include', 'custom_venue_template', 20 );

function custom_venue_template( $template ) {
if ( ! is_singular() || ! tribe_is_venue() ) return $template;
return 'custom/template/path.php';
}

Like I said, it hasn’t been tried out, but should at least give you a good framework to start with.

Let me know if you have any other follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help as best I can. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Thank you. Can you expand upon

intentionally overrides has_archive in order to allow the selection of a specific template in other views.

I don’t want to interfere with core features or effect the Modern Tribe Plugins. Thanks

Good question! We specifically declare a different template for events and organizers than what would be used in the traditional WordPress hierarchy. Using the sort of structure in the snippet I provided would only have an impact on the Venue views and wouldn’t interfere with any of the plugin’s other functionality–you should be safe as far as that goes. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
