Filter by location.

[Mathias]

Hi Evens Calendar. I hope you can help me out here on a project im trying to launch. The thing is im using the community addon + the filter bar.

What am i trying to achieve?
Everytime one of my users are creating an event, they are filling out where the event is taking place.
Now i want to list the events in such an order that the newest are first (already working) and afterwards some filter-bar for location on events in a specific area/country.

Or could it be possible to list the events from the users profile information, so if the user has entered an adress it will locate the nearest events out from that specific data? 🙂

Do i need the events-pro for this achievement, keep in mind that i already have purchased the community and filter-bar add-on. Maybe there is a “package” for bying multiple addons etc?

Hey @Mathias and welcome to the forums! I hope you’ve been enjoying the plugins. 🙂

Good question. It probably would be possible to show a list of events based on the status of someone’s profile information (assuming they are logged in). However, it’s not something that is possible right out of the box. In other words, I think it would take a fair amount of custom development to make it work.

That said, Filter Bar will filter events based the distance of a searched location–it just isn’t pulled automatically from the user’s profile.

That’s a great idea though and one I’d certainly encourage you to submit to our feature request forum. I can see that one being voted on by others as it sounds cool.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂
