Integration with Business Directory Plugin

[rappnews]

Do you have any suggestions or best practices for integration with the Business Directory plugin (http://wordpress.org/plugins/business-directory-plugin/)?

In particular, we’d like to show upcoming events for a business from its business listing and link to the correct business listing from the venue and organizer pages.

I’m afraid we’ve got no specific hints or tips I’m aware of in relation to that plugin – generally speaking if you want to integrate ours and another plugin that’s a customization we’d need to leave in your hands 🙂

The following resources may be useful in your efforts though, so do check them out:

• Themer’s Guide
• Tutorials
• Technical Docs

Hope that helps!

If I set up a map from listings to venues, can I use this approach: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/are-there-shortcodes-in-events-calendar-pro/#post-58334 to show the featured venue widget? If so, would the code be the_widget(‘TribeVenueWidget’)?

Forgot to ask: how do I specify, in the the_widget code, which venue to show the listings for?

[Barry]

Hi! You would pass the class name into the_widget(), so it would indeed be something like:

the_widget( 'TribeVenueWidget' );

You can also pass arguments across as in Snorton’s example in the thread you linked to – full documentation for the_widget() is available here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget

I hope that helps – but as this is really custom development territory we cannot assist any further with this one and will go ahead and close the thread. Of course if you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to let us know (by creating new threads).

Thanks!
