Directory of People

[Chris]

Hi Again,

A second question, I am also building a directory using Headway Themes, and I would like to know if the “Events Calendar Pro” can be adjusted to not be about events, but rather be a directory of, for example, health professionals. If “The Events Calendar Pro” could actually work like a search facility for people and services rather than events, and to list them like other directories.

Your advice is welcome.
Thanks
Chris

Hey Chris,

Thanks for reaching out!

The plugin cannot be re-purposed in the way you describe without extensive code customizations. So, if you are comfortable writing all of the custom code yourself, or are willing to hire a developer to do that for you, then yes you could theoretically do what you describe.

But there is no simple way to do this “out of the box,” and we unfortunately aren’t able to help with customization projects like that. So it’s possible, but would require a pretty significant amount of time and energy to complete.

If you think that such a level of customization is not required, and want to simply change the “name” of everything so that, instead of “events” and “organizers”, for example, you have “courses” and “health professionals” or something, you can do this sort of change much more simply—you can change the names of these labels using the functions described in these Knowledgebase articles:

• “Events” → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/changing-the-word-events-to-something-else/
• “Organizers” and “Venues” → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/relabeling-the-venue-organizer-sections-in-event-meta/

I hope this information helps!

Sincerely,
George
