List of organizers

[K.D.]

We are considering using the Organizers as Sales Reps.

On the pro product, what is available to show a list of organizers? Can you point me to any websites currently doing this?

Thanks!

Hey K.D.!

what is available to show a list of organizers?

At this time there is not much within the admin panels of the plugin or anything “out of the box” that will display all of the organizers; in other words, at this time your best bet for displaying a list of organizers is to write some custom code.

You can use a helper function we have to do this easily – just be sure to put null as the first function parameter! So, you’d do this somewhere on your site:


$organizers = tribe_get_organizers( null );

foreach ( $organizers as $organizer ) {
// echo organizer information...
}


I hope this helps! 🙂

Bummer. I was hoping pro would do it without my writing custom code – thanks for the snippet – we’ll decide if that makes sense.

We’re looking for a solution to feature trade shows (the basic calendar is great for that) and our sales reps.

Feature suggestion: it is a different market – but we’d love to have map that showed our world-wide reps and our world-wide shows either we or our reps are attending.

Thanks for your feedback K.D.! I totally relate to the frustration of making and maintaining custom code 🙁 It’s tricky to find the right balance of what to include as features and what to leave out.

A good example is your suggestion of adding reps to the Map View. Something that specific to reps and shows is not something we’re likely to implement, however it might be a really nice feature to have our “Organizers” taxonomy be easily included on that map view, and so then it would be really easy to just use this for reps instead…

Either way, thank you for the feedback! I will close up this thread for now, but please open a new thread any time if any questions, comments, or concerns arise 🙂

Cheers,
George
