Extending Venues

[Stephen]

Hey again Barry,
Update, I think that the allow_cta_search() function is the culprit. If I prevent that function from running, the tribe_events_register_venue_type_args filter seems to work fine.

[Stephen]

So I suppose now I am looking for a way to either:

1) Fix the allow_cta_search() function to use the arguments supplied to the tribe_events_register_venue_type_args filter

or

2) prevent the allow_cta_search() function from running without having to hack the Events Calendar Pro plugin

Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks again.

Hi Stephen, yep you’re right, that could probably be re-structured to play a little more nicely and I’ll make a note of that.

If using the tribe_events_register_venue_type_args isn’t going to be viable in this case however then you’ll need to use an alternative approach rather like PRO itself is and re-register the post type.

Thanks again!

So I was able to de-register the problematic function with the following code (hopefully it will show):
add_action(‘init’, ‘custom_unregister_functions’);
function custom_unregister_functions() {
$pro_instance = TribeEventsPro::instance();
//unregister
remove_action( ‘wp_loaded’, array( $pro_instance, ‘allow_cpt_search’ ) );
}

Then I just set the register post type variable to ‘exclude_from_search’ when I was using the now-working tribe_events_register_venue_type_arg filter. I considered this to be a preferable solution to registering the post type all over again (in what would have been it’s third registration). Hopefully that chain of events will be restructured to play more nicely, as you said, in future versions of the Events Calendar Pro add-on.

Excellent, sounds like you’re all sorted here and hopefully we will indeed see a change here further down the line.

Thanks again!
