Venue List View (Pimp My Venue!)

[Alex]

I would like to show all of my Venues and Organizers on a single page as a directory listing. Since Pro is able to capture the venue and organizer data, it would be great if I could turn those into list views with navigational capabilities. At this point, the only thing I can do for a venue directory is add venues to the menu bar and list them that way, but that get’s clunky with hundreds of venues and organizers.

This is what one of my local Miami competitors (promoters) did with a different event/venue plug in, it even has it’s own Event/Venue search box!

If I could create something as visually appealing with this type of list navigation design for Venues and/or Organizers, it adds real value. What does Tribe suggest I can do to “Pimp My Venues”? I would hate to have to purchase another plugin when Pro might do the trick! Especially since I am considering investing in Community Events to create a robust Events/Venue feature.

This is what I have currently configured with Pro on my website:

As you can see, Venues are not featured. They are buried in the pages of Pro, forcing the user to drill down through Events to get the benefit of Venue and Organizer listings and contact info. Thx in advance for your input.

Hi Alex, thanks for reaching out to us.

A huge amount is possible and I have no doubt that you could do something very similar to your competitor over at atnight.com. While we can’t guide you through such a massive customization program via the forum I can point you in the direction of our technical documentation:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/

And I would highlight the Themer’s Guide in particular as being an excellent starting point:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

There are many small and easy to make changes that can be made which collectively can transform your website into something markedly different; of course there are also going to be things that require more advanced programming expertise – especially for really bespoke stuff – however you are more than welcome to refer any designers or developers you might hire to our documentation.

Sorry I can’t do more, but I hope you find the above references helpful.
