How to get all events to show in Map View without all events being listed below.

[Josiah]

I using the Map View in Events Calendar Pro and I have ran into an issue where the only events that show on the map are the events that are listed below. So if I have 100 events, but have to view limited to 10 events per page, I only will see 10 events on the map. I would to be able to have all 100 events on the map even if only 10 of the events are displayed below the map.

Is this something I can do?

Thank You,

Howdy Josiah,

Thanks for reaching out to us! Nice question indeed.

One thing that can be done on that end is to alter the query if you are on map view, but both the map and the list get the events from the same ajax call. So not sure if this will be useful for your particular case:

add_action( 'tribe_events_pre_get_posts', 'unlimit_map_view' );
function unlimit_map_view( $query ) {

if ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX && $query->get('eventDisplay') == 'map' ) {
$query->set('posts_per_page', '-1');
}

return $query;
}


Maybe you can alter the display of the events in the list, hiding them or just some of them. Further customization will probably require to refactor a bit how this actually works.

Do you think you can find a way around your need with this snippet?

Best,
Nico

Hi Nico,

Thanks for the snippet of code. Obviously, the issue is it will unlimit both the map and list portion of the page. How could I just unlimit the map portion, but still limit the list portion to like 10 events.

Any assistance on the script would be great.

Thank You,
Josiah

Hi Josiah,

Thanks for the follow-up!

I’m afraid by-passing the ajax call for the map or the post list will require some custom code (not just a snippet) and that would be out of our support scope. But I’ll ping the dev team about this tomorrow, maybe they can come up with a smarter approach on this.

Thanks for your patience on this, hope there’s an easy fix for this,
Best,

Hey Josiah,

Thanks for your patience on this. Hopefully Barry -a superb coder from our team- came up with a snippet that enables this!


function show_all_markers( $data ) {
if ( ! isset( $data['markers'] ) ) return $data;

$cached_markers = get_transient( 'all_geo_markers_store' );
if ( $cached_markers ) {
$data['markers'] = $cached_markers;
return $data;
}

$geo_loc = Tribe__Events__Pro__Geo_Loc::instance();
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'eventDisplay' => 'map'
) );

$markers = $geo_loc->generate_markers( $events );
set_transient( 'all_geo_markers_store', $markers, DAY_IN_SECONDS );

$data['markers'] = $markers;

return $data;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_events_ajax_response', 'show_all_markers' );


Please bear in mind there’s some caching going on there, so it doesn’t run the query every time the view is loaded. You can comment that out while testing to see if this works for you.

Let me know how this goes,
Best,
Nico
