Hi,
I’m considering upgrading to the Pro version.
Could you please help me clarify the following questions?Regarding filters
– What options do you have to enable a “Near me” search ? In the demo a user has to enter a search criteria below “Near”, but the data entry isn’t enriched with autocomplete (for example “London, England” should appear when typing “Lond”, based on Google). Is this a feature you support? Or would it require custom javascript. If yes, is this type of customization supported?
– In the demo, users can search for Organizers using a Tag picker. Can this be applied to custom taxonomies?Regarding Upcoming Events
– How can I filter the “Upcoming events” widget to the correct venue when I use it on a custom page (i.e. not the venue)?Regarding Import
– I’m using “All Import” to perform import of csv files; this allows me to upload. Everything works fine except setting an existing Organizer and Venue. Which function can I use to find the ID of an Organizer / Venue based on its name?Regarding MapBox
– Can I use MapBox to enhance the out-of-the-box Google maps?Regards,
BartGood evening Bart and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!
Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.Regarding filters

Before we begin, just to set expectations, the scope of our support is mostly to get our customers started on the right track and to help them in case of issues.
Even though we provide basic tools and advice for customizations, we unfortunately do not provide complete support for customizations.
With that in mind, you are right, the data entry is not enriched by autocomplete. You could probably customize the search bar using custom JavaScript. I recommend reading the instructions found in our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how customizations work.
Either that or hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.
– In the demo, users can search for Organizers using a Tag picker. Can this be applied to custom taxonomies?
The tag filter you are seeing in the demo comes from our Filter Bar add-on.
That filter also let’s you use fields defined in the Extra fields tab built-in.
You could probably extend that to custom taxonomies too using customization.Regarding Upcoming Events
– How can I filter the “Upcoming events” widget to the correct venue when I use it on a custom page (i.e. not the venue)?You could probably achieve that by using our Pro widget shortcodes: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/
Regarding Import
– I’m using “All Import” to perform import of csv files; this allows me to upload. Everything works fine except setting an existing Organizer and Venue. Which function can I use to find the ID of an Organizer / Venue based on its name?The best idea would be to go through the different functions related to venues and organizers so that you can get a sense of what is possible and how you want to go about this:
- https://theeventscalendar.com/?s=venue&post_type%5B%5D=documentation&submit=
- https://theeventscalendar.com/?s=organizer&submit=Search&post_type%5B%5D=wp-parser-function&post_type%5B%5D=wp-parser-hook
Regarding MapBox
– Can I use MapBox to enhance the out-of-the-box Google maps?I guess you could by using the proper hooks, filters and actions.
That being said, I have not yet heard of somebody that has done that.
Let me know if that helps.
Have a great day!
Geoff B.
