Option for "all venues" event entry.

[bandoliergroup]

I’m working with a group of hospitals, setting up a calendar of “wellness” events. There are some events that are common to all locations (venues) and it would be helpful if we could create an option for having this option. They have 15 locations, and a number of events are common and this would really help speed up the events entry. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? Thanks

Howdy bandoliergroup,

That’s a good question. One user in a similar situation had success using the post duplicator plugin, instead of inputting the info multiple times they just duplicated it, then edited it to include custom info (like the event venue).

If you are interested in adding the exact functionality you want via some PHP/MySQL magic, you could hook into ‘pre_get_posts‘ and add the necessary logic there. Maybe detect a custom Venue Name, like “all-venues” or something, then simply include venues with that name in all tribe queries regardless of the venue specified. Does that make sense?

Please let me know if that helps, or if you have any more questions. Cheers!
