Multiple upcoming events for a venue; Map View only shows 1

[bruce williams]

In the situation where there are multiple upcoming events scheduled for the same venue, “map view” only shows 1 event in the pop-up (it appears that it is the LAST event which is probably not the best choice). It would be preferable (if possible) to show all upcoming events for a single venue combined in one map pop-up. This would make it clear to the site visitor that there are multiple upcoming events for the location (not everyone bothers to scroll down the list of upcoming events below the map).

Thanks for developing great software!

Hey Bruce,

I’m happy to help you out here, and thanks for your kind words about our plugins! 🙂

That kind of change is totally possible! We actually have some guidance for making these kinds of changes in this thread (take a look at Barry’s suggestions), and in our Themer’s Guide here. Please check those resources out and let me know if you have any more specific questions about implementing.

Cheers,

Shelby 🙂

Thanks for the response!

While I appreciate the link to the other thread regarding this issue, I would advocate that the default behavior of the map marker on the map view should be to show all events at a particular location and not just one (see attached screenshot). Note that I’m aware that the map view only shows map pointers for events listed on the current page even though more events at a later date may be defined for the venue.

If an example would help elucidate the issue, take a look at the upcoming events page on our website: https://www.reveresriders.org/events/. Notice that if you click the map marker for either Bedford, IN or Crawfordsville, IN, only one event is shown in the marker pop-up. However, there are TWO events for each of these locations. Worse, the marker pop-up shows not the event coming up first but the event coming up last!

If it is not deemed a priority to include all events for a particular location on the map marker pop-up, may I suggest that at least you show the event closest to the current date instead of showing the event furthest into the future?

Thanks!

Hi Bruce,

Thank you so much for your feedback. 🙂

We’d love to have this documented in a feature suggestion. You can submit this suggestion here, but you can also check out / up vote this similar suggestion here that may possibly serve a similar function to your request.

Please feel free to reach out in the future with questions or suggestions!

Best,
