Venues Page funtionality

[Brendan Randall]

Having had a partial response from Barry on the WP forum i was directed here. I’m looking to be able to build a ‘Venues’ page which lists all venues with each clicking through to single ‘Venue’ pages leveraging the ‘Events’ entry system within the Events Calendar admin system. Barry mentioned this doesn’t come out-the-box but can be custom built using helper functions such as tribe_get_venues(). Potentially building something to handle this would be possible but do i need the Pro version to leverage these helper functions? The function seem to work but venue links don’t resolve to a venue page but i’m presuming this is due to the fact the standard version doesn’t have a venue view.

Could you confirm that if i upgrade to the pro version i can get a single venue view page via a url such as ‘www.examplesite/venues/venue-a’ which is the url format that’s output when calling tribe_get_venue_link() but this just gives a 404 in the standard version.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Brendan,

I’m not spotting the conversation you had earlier with Barry, but if I understand what you are asking I do think you’ll need the PRO version. It’s what is going to give you the frontend venue pages. And the permalink structure is as you mentioned. You can see an example over at http://wpshindig.com/venue/ppa-event-center/.

So, bottom line, your “Venues Page” would be a customization, but the actual individual venue pages would be included in the PRO version.

Let me know if you have any additional questions, or if I’ve misunderstood.

Hi Julie,

Thanks for coming back to me. I think you have understood correctly. As long as the Pro version gives me the permalink structure and actually resolves to the individual Venue pages i’m sure doing the customisation for the Venues list page should be fine. For your reference this is the link to the thread i had running with Barry on the WordPress forums – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/venues-page

Thanks

Thanks for the link Brendan. Sounds like you’re good for now. If you have any further questions, they’re probably better asked in the Events Calendar PRO forum, once you’ve purchased the plugin of course.

Happy coding!

No worries Julie, it’s a pleasure. I have run out of votes but yes lets hope everyone get on the bandwagon 🙂

Thanks morktron. I’m going to close this thread at this point. Vote casting, however, can continue!
