Show events from specific State or Area upon page load

[fred]

I have events from across the US in my events calendar.
How can I set it so that upon page load, the only events that show are those in a specific state or area. E.G. Only events in Pennsylvania or near 16801 show.

Hi Fred,

It’s important to note straight away that the current release has a bug in relation to searching by location – so that would impact on the first of the following approaches but we hope to resolve this in our next maintenance release.

Basically though, if you perform a search by location – for Florida for example – you might end up with a URL like this one:

http://wpshindig.com/events/2013-10/?tribe-bar-geoloc-lat=27.6648274&tribe-bar-geoloc-lng=-81.51575350000002&tribe-bar-geoloc=Florida

If you need to predefine a number of localities (ie, you don’t simply want users to use the existing Location search field and instead want a link to a calendar of events in Florida, or wherever) you could simply “capture” a number of these URLs and link to them. The Events → Settings → Map view search distance limit setting would of course impact on this approach.

Alternatively, depending on how much control you need, you might simply tag events by state/county/whatever works for you, then link to events in that tag archives.

It’s the sort of thing where there are a ton of different ways to do things, so really you’d need to define exactly what you are trying to achieve and go from there. While we can’t help much more than this with customization requests we do wish you luck and look forward to hearing about what you come up with!

Thanks!
