Custom markers depending on event or venue category

[Francesco]

Hello, I’d need to use custom markers depending on the category of the venue. EG a bar should have a yellow marker while a restaurant a green one etc…

Is there a way to have it working or is there any compatible plug in that I may use?
It is a really nice plugin and it’s such a pity that this feature missing.

Hey Francesco,

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

Sure! Check out The Events Calendar Category Colors free plugin. It might not cover all your needs but it’s surely a good starting point!

Please let me know if this helps,
Best,
Nico

Thank you really much for your answer, Nico.
This is an interesting feature for calendar itself. What I’m looking for is different.

What I need is a MAP with different markers depending on the kind of event.
Something related to Google’s maps clustering.

Actually I’m tryng to use the plugin both for live events and for venues that are not hosting any of them (in other words bar or venues that are simply open)

So it would be really useful to see all of them with different colors (or even better different icons) on the map.

Maybe I should look at a store locator for this feature but I’m not sure if they can work together.
And most of all I would like to keep your functions as first thing.

Btw, I’m using snazzy maps plugin to have the maps differently colored.

Thanks for following up and for clarifying on what you are looking to achieve Francesco!

I get you know! Unfortunately this is not a feature of our plugins and proving the custom code required to get this done would be out of the support scope. If you are willing to give this a try your self I can totally help you out with any doubts you might have coding this. Check out this thread in which Barry gives a starting point for a similar customization → https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/custom-marker-based-on-category/

I guess you can create recurring events for the different venues regular schedule if you need to be shown. If that won’t serve your needs, then it will probably much easier to have a separate venue map:

Please let me know about it,

Thanks for caring, Nico.
I had also thought about the idea of a separate map. I’ll try it out.
Could you explain me a little better where this page is supposed to be placed?

[Francesco]

btw, is there a way to contact the user Martino?
I could ask him for some help…
