Geolocation based on city or area code

[Cesar]

Hi Guys,
Nice products!

I’m close to launch my website and I wonder if there is possible to autofill “Near” field with for example the area code of the client or name of the city. Also when I write for example “Paris” it does not return a thing :/

If you need access let me know.

Thank you.
Cesar

Can you tell me which criteria is matched when searching with “Near” field? SQL statement for instance…
Where can I modify it?

For example if I use the name of the country none return is given :/

Thank you

Hi Cesar. Thanks for your questions.

The “Near” field that Pro adds to the Tribe Bar is from this file: /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Tribe/Geo_Loc.php

The default geofence radius is 25 miles, which can be filtered — find function get_geofence_size() in that file.

As far as autofilling the search field, you can just link to your site’s search — like this being the URL for searching “New York, NY, USA”: yoursite/events/2016-02/?tribe-bar-geoloc-lat=40.7127837&tribe-bar-geoloc-lng=-74.00594130000002&tribe-bar-geoloc=New+York%2C+NY%2C+USA — just remove the “2016-02/” part so it doesn’t always go to February 2016.

If you prefer a shorter URL: yoursite/events/?tribe-bar-geoloc=New+York%2C+NY%2C+USA will autofill the field but not actually filter the results. In other words, they’d still need to click the “Find Events” button to submit the search.

I hope this is the information you were looking for.
