Organizer search capabilities

[Ken d’Oronzio]

Hi –

We’re planning on using your plugin for events & classes at a holistic health center. It seems to handle most of what we’re trying to do. The only things that we can’t seem to find are the abilities to:
– add custom fields to organizers (we call them practitioners). This will be used for specialties and subspecialties.
– add a way to list and search organizers by name & by specialty.

Is this something the Event Calendar Pro, or another of your plugins can handle? Would it be difficult to add this functionality.

Thanks

Ken

Hey Ken! Awesome questions.

I really I could say that custom fields for organizers is a feature right of the box, but I’m afraid it is not. One idea might be to try integrating another plugin like Advanced Custom Fields to the tribe_organizers post type then customizing the calendar templates to output that data.

Searching by organizer is fairly limited as well. However, You may want to consider using tags and categories on events that contain specific organizers, then using something like our Filter Bar plugin that would make it really simple for visitors to filter events based on a set of criteria.

Sorry these answers are exactly what you’re looking for, but please let me know if you have any follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Do you do custom development for this type of work? How do I go about getting an estimate for this?
