Map view

[Ian]

Hi

Looking to buy the Pro version for a website I’m updating and wanted to check a couple of things that the client has asked about.

I presume that if events are viewed on the Map View via a shortcode that only upcoming events would show and that all events from previous dates would not be showing on the map.

Do the events show up on the map when an address is added or are any other steps required to make them show up?

I know these are fairly basic questions but it would help the client to make some decisions.

cheers

Hi Ian,

Thanks for taking the time to reach out! By default, map views embedded using the [tribe_events] shortcode will show events from the current date forward, and past events will not be included. However, you can specify a starting month or day with the date attribute, which will allow you to display past events if desired. For more information on how to use [tribe_events], check out our Knowledgebase article here:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/

You won’t need to enter a starting location or perform any other actions to display the map on first load. The map will simply appear as close as possible to the center of any displayed events. 🙂

I hope that helps to get you started here! Thanks again, and let us know if you should have any other questions!
