Custom fields in the meta venue group

[antsrls]

Hi,
my events need to refer to 3 main venues so that when I open the single venue page of each one of these locations, the page will show all the events which will take place there, but the single event view need to show different details for each event.

For example: I want a list of all the events programmed to take place in Porto Venere (one of my main locations) to show under the venue “Porto Venere”. Among these events, a concert will take place in Piazza San Pietro, a party will take place in Piazza Bastreri, and so on.
When I open the single page event, the venue details should show the main location and the detailed location: Porto Venere – Piazza Bastreri, or Porto Venere – Piazza San Pietro.
In order to achieve this result, my idea was to use specific custom fields attached to the event and put them after the main location name in the venue meta box in the single event view.
The output should be this:
Porto Venere
Custom Field (Piazza San Pietro, Piazza Bastreri, etc. + address in textual form)
Map based on the custom field.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi – great question!

That’s potentially a fairly tricky customization to make but you can certainly re-order and expand upon what is displayed in the meta output for single events. Right now, that means working with the meta factory and you’re welcome to give that a blast.

However, if possible I’d actually recommend holding off until our very next release arrives. This will make it so that you can override and customize the meta output just like any other set of templates and that will potentially make some aspects of what you are trying to do a lot easier (certainly tweaking the single event meta output will be notably simplified).

Would that work for you?
