Map Integrations and Views

[Lindsay E]

Hi! I am building out a site for a client with a pretty extensive events feature and like what I see with this product (Calendar Pro) but had a few questions first.

1. I saw that there is map views, calendar, grid views etc. Is it possible to show more than one of these at a time. For example, can I show the map as well as a list view of events coming up? I want to be able to provide options of both a map and listing or a calendar and listing.

2. Google Maps integration is great! Does it allow for further customization – for example, if I want to have google places so that if a user searches for an event, it can also show nearby restaurants or hotels (the site will be geared mostly for travelers visiting the city the site is for).

Thanks so much!

Hi Lindsay,

Thanks for reachign out and for your interest in our products! I’ll help you decide if they are the right choice for your project 😉

1. I saw that there is map views, calendar, grid views etc. Is it possible to show more than one of these at a time. For example, can I show the map as well as a list view of events coming up? I want to be able to provide options of both a map and listing or a calendar and listing.

You can only show one view at the time, but for example Map View comes with a listing below the Google Map embed (http://wpshindig.com/events/map/). It’s also possible to insert calendar widgets before/after the view or in the sidebar. You can also insert them via shortcode in a page or post.

2. Google Maps integration is great! Does it allow for further customization – for example, if I want to have google places so that if a user searches for an event, it can also show nearby restaurants or hotels (the site will be geared mostly for travelers visiting the city the site is for).

I guess you can custom code this feature but this is not a part of the plugin out of the box. Regarding customizations like this one, our support team will be able to give you a hand to get you started or point you in the right direction, but won’t be able to code this for you.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico

Thanks! One more question – With the map view, is their a way within the plugin to customize the look using snazzy maps or other JSON data?

Thanks for following up Lindsay!

Hopefully you can use the Snazzy WordPress plugin, as far as I could tst it’s working for the maps generated by our product.

You can also use the filter tribe_get_embedded_map to customize the output of the map code!

Please let me know if this answers your question,
Have a great weekend,
Nico
