Search filtering

[Tran]

Hello,

I would like to have a feature added in to my Event search that comes with the plugin, I dont know if it is possible or not – but I’d like for when visitors start to type in a city name in the Location search box, that a drop down will appear and similarly spelled cities will appear from which they can choose from. This would eliminate risk of having typos. Is this possible?

Thank you,

[Casey]

Tran,
Thanks for getting in touch! Unfortunately this is not currently possible in the current version of the plugin. If this is something you’d like to see in a future release, I would suggest submitting it as an idea on our UserVoice page. Our team periodically reviews the most popular ideas for possible inclusion in a future release of the plugin.

Thanks! 🙂

Where can I go to program this in myself? How can I access the Near (Location) text input for the events search bar?

Tran,
The template file for the Search bar is located in ‘plugins/the-events-calendar/views/modules/bar.php.’ If you’re looking to customize this, you’ll want to perform a template override (read our themer’s guide to learn how to do this) on that file and make your customizations there.

You should be able to filter on the tribe_events_get_filters hook to modify the geolocation filter as needed.

Does that help to answer you questions?

I just wanted to follow up and see if you’re all set here or if you still have further questions. Just let me know if you have further questions or if I should go ahead and close out this thread. Thanks! 🙂

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
