Last but not the least

First of all let me say that your Products and support are great. In fact I am planning to upgrade to Agency subscription. You helped me fulfill my dream. I have one more questions. Please visit my site listed below and answer the following.
Is it possible to click on All and see list of all events without making this the parent of all categories and sub-categories. Is there any simple way to do that?

Thanks

Howdy Shah,

I am very happy you enjoy our plugin. That is an excellent site. I can see now how we helped achieve your dream, it’s completely dedicated to events! 🙂

That is absolutely possible. The default calendar page will actually show all categories on your website. So if you make the All link go to yoursite.com/events/ then you are all set!

Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let us know.

Cheers!

Hi Brook:

Thanks for your positive and encouraging comments. I have one more request:

Currently search bar shows says: DATE SEARCH NEAR LOCATION
I want to change “NEAR LOCATION” TO “CITY AND COUNTRY” (the title)
When I try to search for an event is Seattle (or near Seattle) it does a good job. But if I write Seattle, USA or Seattle, France. It shows the same results. So currently we have search by city but not by country. I bought Filter Bar but it did not serve the purpose. Is there any way to do that? You might have noticed how important search by country / city is for my portal?

You are welcome!

Changing the title should be no problem. Have a look at this tutorial: Change the wording of any bit of text or string.

However, getting it to behave differently is no small issue. The location search is actually powered by Google Maps. It relies on their technology. And how it’s currently built will do a location lookup for whatever you type in. If you type in Seattle, it asks Google where Seattle is. Google gives use the longitude and latitude of the center of Seattle. Based on that we do a search for any event within X miles from that point. You can specify what how many miles X is using Filter Bar. So you can say you want to do a search for any event within 50 miles, or 500 miles. But problems arise when you are searching for larger area. If you search for Washington for instance, events in Seattle are not within 50 miles from the center of Washington state, but they will be within 500 miles.

You are not the first person who wished thing behaved differently. Look at this feature request. As mentioned there what you want might actually be possible with the Google API, but if it is it will be phenomenally complex to build and will require some research first. Ultimately it would likely involve completely overhauling how events are stored in the database. Which is something we are interested in looking into in the future.

Did that all make sense? One thing I should mention, in this forum we usually strive to keep our topics focused on a single issue, the one you had when you opened the topic. This helps keep things organized and get you the fastest responses. I just wanted to mention this in case you had not seen that recommendation yet.

Cheers!
