Grabbing Venue City in Loop

[roje0913]

I have a function that is grabbing a bunch of meta keys and displaying them in a loop on the home page. I am trying to figure out how to grab the venue city for each of the items. Below is what I can come up with based on your docs, but it keeps coming up blank. The start of the code below has been successful grabbing the start date, end date, and cost.

 $i = 0;
        foreach ($events as $event) {
                       $meta = get_post_meta($event->ID);
			$localeze =  $meta['_VenueCity'][0];

I also tried using
$meta2 = $meta['_EventVenueID'][0];

This only returned the id number, but it did work.

Thanks for following up with the complete snippet code!

You can use the tribe_get_city passing the event id as parameter. Internally this function will look for the ‘_VenueCity’ meta just like you are doing which seems to be fine as well, not sure why it’s failing.

This is the actual function code (the-events-calendar/src/functions/template-tags/venue.php line 201):

/**
* City
*
* Returns the venue city
*
* @param int $postId Can supply either event id or venue id, if none specified, current post is used
*
* @return string City
*/
function tribe_get_city( $postId = null ) {
$postId = tribe_get_venue_id( $postId );
$output = esc_html( tribe_get_event_meta( $postId, '_VenueCity', true ) );

return apply_filters( 'tribe_get_city', $output );
}


Give this a try and let me know if it works for you, and make sure the events queried actually have a venue with complete address 😉

Best,
Nico
