Venue/Organizer Shortcodes plugin output filtering

[Shannon]

I am using a plugin called “The Events Calendar: Venue/Organizer Shortcodes” but the shortcodes only give an unsorted list. I was going to try and modify it for my means by alphabetizing the list and only showing active on the calendar venues and organizers, but I cant seem to figure out how.

I have made a copy of the plugin to modify, and tried many things. It seems like it would be easy enough to put a sort() and active-only filter in the query function, but it escapes me.

If you could help me with this small feature request, I would be grateful.

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

What about under this line:

'post_type' => $this->atts['post_type'],

Adding this:

'orderby' => 'title',

If you are looking for other orderby parameters WordPress has these:

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks

That is brilliant Brian, thank you very much! I also added

'order'=> 'ASC',

to have it sort the right way. So now my block looks like this:

 $args = array(
      'post_type'      => $this->atts['post_type'],
      'orderby'        => 'title',
      'order'          => 'ASC',
      'posts_per_page' => $this->atts['limit']
);

Now I just need to limit the output to Venues/Organizers who have upcoming events. Maybe in the “__construct( $atts )” function?

Thank you again for your help!

Glad it helps.

There is not function we have to detect if a venue or organizer has events, but you could modify some coding to check after it has been queried.

We use this:

$args = array(
'venue' => $post_id,
'eventDisplay' => 'list',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
);

$html = tribe_include_view_list( $args );

$args = array(
'organizer' => $post_id,
'eventDisplay' => 'list',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
);

$html = tribe_include_view_list( $args );

You could check if that html includes events or not and then display the name based on that result.

I think you could use tribe_get_events instead of tribe_include_view_list and that might return nothing then if there are no events.
