Events listing results with heirarchy

[Colin]

Looking at the pro features of your site. I would like to see how I could have different listings come up as higher level (above others) similar to when you search on google and you get a series of paid ads above the rest of the listings?

I’m looking at development of a site with aggregated events from various providers and would like to have the ability to profile specific providers higher than the rest of their search reply?

Is that something that your program could do or a custom function that could be developed?

Thanks

Colin

Hey Colin,

Thanks for reaching out to us and for your interest in our products!

Events in our calendar are ordered by date in all views, you could easily add some visual distinction to events in a given Event Category or to events with an specific tag. Events Calendar PRO comes packed with some widgets that let you display event listings in the site sidebar filtered by Event Category or tags.

Regarding highlighting events in the search results, that’s somethings you’ll need to custom code. Not sure what you are looking for but I guess it’s a simple customization. Take a look to our themer’s guide to see how templates can be overwritten.

Please let me know if this answers your questions or you still need help with it,
Have a great weekend,
Nico

Is there a way to have the layout of the event listing different for different levels of events?

What my end goal would achieve is a list of events around north america / the world where hosts of those events can list a free listing with very limited information shown or upgrade the listing for a fee such that the listing is much more complete.

Potentially there could be a way to have a payment option for the event listing on the site.

Thanks

When I suggest a payment option – that would be for the event host to pay for their premier event listing for example.

Thanks for adding some more context to this Colin!

Sure, you can categorize those paid events with a particular category let’s call it ‘premium’. THen you can edit the template to show certain information like venue for map, only if the event belongs to the premium category, you can also use this conditional to add some classes to the event markup to visually distinguish it.

For now you’ll have to do that manually, maybe with a WooCommerce product or something similar. This idea has been suggested in our UserVoice page and it has been added to our ‘longterm roadmap’ so mostly sure this will be included in the future.

So rounding up, this is possible now ‘manually’ and it’s not a feature of the plugin. If you want to give this a try you can purchase Events Calendar PRO and install it on a test site, explore the features and see how our template overrides work. We have a ’30 days refund policy’ so if after testing the plugin you feel it’s not what you are looking for you can request a full refund (within 30 days of purchase).

Please let me know if I can help you with anything else,
Best,
Nico
