How to show just the city and state (instead of full address) in the loop

[360zen]

Hi there,
I’m looking to replace the full venue address on the Map, List, and Month views with just the city and state.

I found a post from someone else saying you could get these values with something like this…

$venue_state = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_VenueStateProvince’, true );
$venue_city = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘_VenueCity’, true );

…but I am getting empty variables when I do this in the loop. I’m comfortable with the templating, but would love a hint as to how to pull the city and state (abbreviated if possible) from an event’s venue information into a variable of some kind.

Hi,

I can help you out here.

The address is stored in the Venue, so when you use the get_post_meta and you use the event id it does not return anything.

We have some functions to help out though.

This worked for me:


$event_id = get_the_ID();
echo tribe_get_city( $event_id );
echo tribe_get_region( $event_id );


Let me know if that helps.

Thanks

I am going to close this topic as we typically close threads if there is no activity after two weeks. Feel free to create a new thread and reference this one to save you time.
