Custom filter bar

[Roni Kripper]

I need to develop a customized filter bar with the following fields:
– Event name
– Event category
– Month of the event

The first two with the auto complete option, and the last one with the date picker (but only with month and years).
I tried with different configurations, but it seems not possible with the plugin config.

One of the main issues I’m facing is that some filters are on the tribe-bar and other one on the filter-bar plugin.
Is there a way to customize this? If not, is there a way to retrieve the “filters options” so I can develop a custom ajax call and get that info??

Thank you.

Hey @Roni,

First off, I do want to note that we are fairly limited in how much we can support custom development questions like this — that said, I’d be happy to help as best I can to at least point you in the right direction!

As of 4.0 Filter Bar does support PRO’s additional fields. That might give you some flexibility as far as adding filters.

At the same time, I do not believe that it would all that easy to add other filters without modifying the plugin’s core files — something I wouldn’t suggest doing, or at least without ensuring to document those changes before updating the plugin when future releases come out.

If you were to create your own filters, they would either need yo hook into the plugin’s tribe_events_filter_view_do_display_filters() action or you would need to add them to the plugin’s template directly.

Sorry I don’t have a concrete answer for you, but does this at least help you get started? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff
