Overriding the generate_markers method

[sabinevi]

After a lot of digging in the code, I succeeded in adding the name of the venue to the tooltip in the Google map showing the venues and their events. I did that by adding the extension ‘Display multiple events with the same venue in Map tooltips’, altering the javascript of the extension and altering the generate_markers() method in the events-calendar-pro/src/Tribe/Geo_Loc.php (added the venue name).
Of course I know that is very bad practice because the changes will be gone after updating to a newer version but may be you can point me a little in the right direction of how I should do that the right way, if there is a way.
Website is still under construction so it’s not possible to visit it but if it’s helpful I can post the code I altered.

Hi @sabinevi,

Sounds like you have done a nice job so far!

In terms of safely overriding the output of the generate_markers() method you can do so via the tribe_events_ajax_response hook. Simple example:

add_filter( 'tribe_events_ajax_response', function( $data ) { 
    if ( empty( $data['markers'] ) ) {
        return $data;
    }

    foreach ( $data['markers'] as &$marker ) {
        // Change the following line to modify the markers as needed
        $marker = array_map( 'strtoupper', $marker );
    }

    return $data;
} );

That’s incomplete and untested, but should give the general idea. Does that help with your objectives?
