show additional fields like category

[yaguare]

Is possible to show additional fields like category?
I have events of several cities and I want link from home page certain cities.
I created a new additional field called city, I want to show all calendar events for, say, New York.
Excuse my poor and crude English.

Howdy yaguare,

I can understand you great, your English is very good.

Unfortunately this will be no easy task. While adding additional fields is easy, there is no built-in way to group those events together from a custom URL. You would have to add your own pages using WP rewrite rules. Once you have those pages setup you could use our API to pull events with that meta data. However, there are going to be a few complications since additional fields are not designed to work this way. For instance consider an additonal field called City with a value of  “Point Field Landing on the Severn, MD”. Well it’s not good practice to have a url like “example.com/events/city/Point Field Landing on the Severn, MD”. So you are going to need a slug field in addition to the additional field value. This is just one of the difficulties you are likely to run into.

I hope you are able to understand that. Sadly even if you spoke English natively that might be hard to understand. That’s because what you want to do is going to require a lot of extra programming, thus you need to be a programmer as well in order to understand it. If you do want to build that functionality, you might need to hire a developer.

Does that make sense? Can I explain anything further? Please let me know. Thanks!
