Filter Bar add on vs. tribe-bar-filters (view and search)

[Eve]

I’m a little confused about the difference in names for the Filter Bar Add On and the tribe-bar-filters (view and search). In the forum, there are references to customizing. But what are the names for each of these.
I bought Filter Bar Add On and I’d like to customize it with custom filters.
I found 2 bits of code. Not sure which each of them refers to:
Here is the first part of each. (not the function)
Please identify which refers to the Filter Bar Add On and which refers to the tribe-bar-filters
add_filter( ‘tribe-events-bar-filters’, ‘setup_my_field_in_bar’, 1, 1 );
and
add_filter( ‘tribe_events_all_filters_array’, ‘custom_add_filter_callback’ );

Hey Eve,

Sorry for any confusion or lack of clarity that arises from this similar naming of things. Among the filters you listed here, the second filter is one for Filter Bar (‘tribe_events_all_filters_array’).

Their names are quite similar, but here’s a distinction that might help:

The Tribe Bar, or “Events Bar”, is just the default bar atop the various Events views that lets you sort by date, location, or a general keyword search. This is included in The Events Calendar for free, and are “essential” filters for displaying events. This is also the main location for the “Views” button, which lets you switch between various event views (i.e. Month view, List view, etc.).

The Filter Bar is a premium add-on, and though similarly named, serves a whole different purpose than the Tribe Bar. The Filter Bar is a “kitchen sink” of a bunch of other types of filters to use in addition to the ones from the Tribe Bar. You can customize the Filter Bar filters extensively, and there are many more options for the types of filters to use here.

I hope this information helps clear things up a bit – let us know if that’s the case, or if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thanks!
George
