Thank you, Cliff.

Cliff – OK. That’s too bad.

I saw TEC-P is using a Google Maps javascript (I’m guessing to pull in the lat & long to make your Maps view work). It seems like a short throw to get location/geo search & filter bar state/city venue pulling from the same location database. Hopefully that’s in the offing.

Just for my own curiosity, where is location/geo search info currently pulling from? For example, when one types PA into location/geo search (and hits enter), the system suggests Panama & Pennsylvania, USA. Where are those suggestions coming from?

And finally, as I’m not a programmer, I’m obviously going to need to hire one to fulfill my original request, which is to find a way to take a form from my site, and return TEC-P results that are category and location-specific (users would be entering state &/or zip code, as well as category interests). Users may then refine their choices from the location/geo search and filter bar afterwards. That’s why I was asking about URL construction, hoping is could be so easy. But it seems not.

Can you offer me any information/advice that may aid in this very important programming request of mine?

Much thanks,

Sam

Courtney – One more quick but import question…what’s the correct URL construction for doing a search for Virginia (without long & lat)?

http://wpshindig.com/events/map/?action=tribe_geosearch&tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=list&featured=false&tribe-bar-geoloc=virginia

…doesn’t work.

I’m trying to dynamically create URL by injecting a state or zip code, but can’t find proper construction.

I only use list (not maps), btw.

Thanks again,

Sam

Hi Courtney – I have also been having issues understanding TEC geocoding/location search/filter bar, so I was happy to come across this thread. However, in regards to your earlier post (#934), the link you provided does indeed show an event at a Virginia venue. Great! However, once one plays around with the filter bar (or actually simply hits the FIND EVENTS button without selecting anything), the result(s) are lost – Virginia is no more.

Is this something you all are working on? Meanwhile, what can we do to prevent TEC from losing this critical information?

And also related to this subject…after a geolocation query, or any type of query, and then subsequently clicking on an event, and then thereafter clicking on the All Events link to go back to your previous (customized) results page – TEC simply links to a blank slate All Events page, and all your results are lost. Oversight, bug, or something else?

Thank you kindly!

Sam
