Display map in Search & Filter results

[Matthew Anderson]

I need to be able to integrate the map with search results via Search & Filter plugin (Filter Bar is inadequate). How can I get the map to display inside the filtered results?

Hi Matthew,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

We do not offer support with integration of third-party plugins, though you are welcome to reach out to Search and Filter plugin and see if they can assist you with this issue.

Here is more information about Events Calendar PRO Location Search with Filter Bar:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/events-calendar-pro-location-search/

If there’s anything we can assist you with related to Filter Bar or Events Calendar PRO, we’d be happy to help you to make things work as expected.

Let us know if there’s anything we can help with!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

I actually did reach out to Search & Filter. They suggested I contact you about how you call the map and display it. The link you shared about location search is not the functionality I need. I need to be able to display a map within a content page that shows all events within one particular category and then be able to filter only by terms within that category.

Example:
Life Together Groups (events category)
– Men’s Groups (subcategory)
– Women’s Groups (subcategory)
– College Groups (subcategory)

This would be similar to an events category archive, but I need to display additional content and then only filter events within that specific events category. Here’s the URL to the page I’m working on. You’ll get the idea, but the map is missing. https://beta2.k2thechurch.com/life-together

Thanks!

Hi Matthew,

You can have your calendar in Map View by default by going to Events<Display<Default View and Save Changes.  This way, your events will appear on the map automatically.

You can also use a shortcode to display a map view calendar by category, and then you can filter within that category:

You can also take a look at our Themer’s Guide, which can point you in the direction of which templates to edit if you are interested in doing so:

Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions on this topic!

 

Thanks,

first, I need to display the list view on my main events page, so changing the default view to maps would not be helpful. https://beta2.k2thechurch.com/whats-happening/

Secondly, I am very familiar with the use of shortcodes and can easily display a category specific map view in this way. However, I cannot then filter and change those results by individual subcategories (terms) within that page. The map does not respond to the filter request and your filter bar is unavailable for shortcode use. Please see this page https://beta2.k2thechurch.com/life-together to understand what I’m working to accomplish. It’s filtering via a drop-down select exactly the way I need, but without the map.

Lastly, I’ve attempted everything I can from a template perspective to generate your map within our filtered content but with no success. For example, when I try to display the map using <?php tribe_get_template_part( ‘pro/map/gmap-container’ ); ?>, it generates the html markup, but no map appears.

Hi Matthew,

I am going to do my best to point you in the right direction here, but we are limited by our Support Policy as to how much we can assist with customizations.

The reason why I suggested Map View was because it contains a List View underneath it.  However if you are looking for a category specific map view and list view,  you could use a shortcode like:
[tribe_events view="map" category="test"]

[tribe_events view="list" category="test"]

This will display both views on the same page.  I’m not familiar with the filtering plugin you are using, so I’m unsure of how it will integrate with this type of setup.

You could also add the Tribe Events Bar to this page and add filters if you’d like:

Also, if this functionality is a requirement for your intended project, I’d suggest that a third-party developer would be the best way to make this feature happen on a short timeline. ? We maintain a list of developers who work with our plugins on our Knowledgebase here:

Let me know how it goes and if there’s anything else I can do to assist you!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
