Subevents, Filterbar and ACF

[Markus]

Hi!

I have two questions:

1. Is there a way to create child-events below a main event in the meantime – I know that many people ask about this (Google), maybe you created it in the meantime?

2. If not I have a workaround: I´m hooking in ACF Fields Repeater to add Subevents to a main event. Displaying this stuff in the frontend is not an issue but I need to add the ACF-Fields to the Filterbar. Using your Custom Fields is NOT an option as you don´t offer Repeater / Custom Layout / Clone Fields etc. So is there somebody who already included custom fields in the Filterbar?

Thanks for your assistance!

Good afternoon Markus and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

1. Is there a way to create child-events below a main event in the meantime – I know that many people ask about this (Google), maybe you created it in the meantime?

I am not exactly sure what you have in mind, but I would be totally interested in finding out if you can expand on how that would look.

For example, how would these be different than let’s say recurring events ?
From an SEO standpoint ? From a hierarchy standpoint ? From how they display in certain views ?

2. If not I have a workaround: I´m hooking in ACF Fields Repeater to add Subevents to a main event. Displaying this stuff in the frontend is not an issue but I need to add the ACF-Fields to the Filterbar. Using your Custom Fields is NOT an option as you don´t offer Repeater / Custom Layout / Clone Fields etc. So is there somebody who already included custom fields in the Filterbar?

Integrating ACF with our Filterbar would be pretty sweet.

The short answer is that I do not know of anyone that has achieved that customization yet.
However, I am pretty sure it is possible, especially by borrowing loosely from our Filterbar existing code with our built-in additional fields.

Just to set expectations, as you might know, the scope of our support is mostly to get our customers started on the right track and to help them in case of issues.

We unfortunately do not provide complete support for customization.

With that in mind, if you have not already done so, you might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how such customizations work.

If coding is not really your cup of tea, you could hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

Best regards,

Geoff B.

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!
