Using custom taxonomy with events and venues

[Henry]

I have been trying to use a custom taxonomy I have registered with events and venues but can’t seem to have the taxonomy meta box show on the Edit Event pages.

I tried adding the following to the-events-calendar-class.php but it doesn’t seem to work.

‘taxonomies’ => array(‘my_taxonomy_name’)

Any suggestions?

Hey Henry. This one is a bit outside my area of expertise, but let me see if Jonah has any ideas. if not I’ll bring in another dev. Stay tuned.

Hi there Rob

I just wanted to make my custom taxonomy “tubestations” available to “tribe_events” and “tribe_venue”.

It is usually quite easy to make a custom taxonomy available to a specific custom post. When registering the custom post type you just have to specify an array of registered taxonomies to be used with the post type.

You do this like so ‘taxonomies’ => array(‘my_taxonomy_name’)

This doesn’t seem to be working with TEC. Hopefully Jonah can throw some light on it.

Hi Henry, there’s currently no way to do this via our plugin but have you tried the native WP function register_taxonomy_for_object_type(): http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy_for_object_type

[Jonah]

And I also found this: http://pippinsplugins.com/add-already-registered-taxonomy/

I already tried the function with both the plugins_loaded hook and the init hook but it doesn’t seem work with tribe_events and tribe_venue.

it is strange because I can get it to work with custom post types and custom taxonomies that I have set up myself in fucntions.php.

is it possible for you to do a quick test at your end to see if it works for you?

@Jonah

Scrap that request – You can do it at the point of registering the taxonomy

works now. Thanks for your help.

Awesome to hear, Henry. Sounds like you’re all set here but let me know if we can do anything else down the road.
