Searching for events on ArtsHawaii Calendar

[Peter]

Hi,

I live in Hawai’i and am attempting to help ACDA support their Events Calendar at artshawaii.com. Our problem is that the calendar is statewide, but since our audience lives on separate islands it’s important to be able to search the calendar based on location. Specifically we’d like to offer the ability to search by island, such as “Maui,” “Big Island,” “O’ahu” etc. When I attempt to use “Find Events:Near” I get no results. We’re looking at the Filter Bar plugin, but don’t see a way to do this search unless we hijack an existing field, such as “Event Catagory”

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Peter Anderegg

Hi Peter. Thanks for your question about our Filter Bar plugin.

1)

Since there’s a pre-defined number of islands, it sounds like Event Categories or Event Tags would be a great way to leverage Filter Bar for your events.

Or you could use Custom Fields added by our PRO add-on if you really don’t want to use Categories or Tags.

You said:

When I attempt to use “Find Events:Near” I get no results.

That functionality is added to the “Tribe Bar” by our PRO add-on, for which I don’t see a purchase in the account you posted from. If you did purchase it, please make sure you’re using the latest version and then post a new thread from the account with the current license for PRO.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance on this thread.
