Shortcode support of near location and excluding category

[David]

Do the [tribe_mini_calendar] and/or [tribe_events_list ] shortcodes support filtering by distance from a location and excluding certain categories?

I currently using Events Manager in which I can do the following:
[events_list_grouped category=”-15,-16,-17,-18,-19″ near=”37.3382,-121.8863″  near_unit=”mi” near_distance=”20″]

And I will get all events within 20 miles of that lat/long except for those categories I excluded.
How can I do this with Events Calendar?

Hey David,

That’s a great question, though I’m afraid that neither shortcode offers support for filtering events by distance.

We’re actually in the process of restructuring the way we do shortcodes (due to come out in the 4.3 release) and, while those changes also won’t offer geolocation filtering options, they will make it more of a possibility for adding that sort of feature down the line. I’ll note this with the team because it’s a great idea.

Sorry for the bad news, but does this at least help answer your question? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Geoff

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
