List of venues

[Gosia]

Hello,

I would like to ask if there is any possibility to create page, where I will display list of venues with map with all venues will be marked. I was trying to make it by some php commands but I did’t get the expected result. 🙂 I will appreciate any help and informatin.

Regards
Gosia

Hey Gosia!

This is indeed technically possible, though not something that is included by default with The Events Calendar. So, the complete process of building a Google-Maps page with all the venues populated on the map is something you’ll have to take the reins on, but here at least a few pointers to hopefully help get you started:

First, the easiest way to get all the venues on your site is to use the function tribe_get_venues() – this function returns a list of venues based on some default settings, but if you want more control of how many venues are retrieved, you could always write a custom WP_Query for the tribe_venue post type. Learn more about WP_Query here.

Then, once you get the Venues, you should be able to get their locations by using functions like tribe_get_address(), tribe_get_city(), etc. – you can find all of these functions listed in the file at /the-events-calendar/public/template-tags/venue.php.

The next step would be combining all this data with a Google Map, which is trickier to do and something a bit beyond the scope of the support forums here. But one suggestion is to read through how Events PRO does this for the “Map View” of the plugin – you should be able to copy large chunks of the code from there and implement things into a custom page template after some experimentation.

I hope this helps!
Cheers
