Venue Listing Widget Not Working

    Good Evening,

    I’m using your “Event Organiser” widget for the first time on a recent site development project I’ve undertaken at wwww.rochesterpool.org (it’s a new website for a pool/billiards league).

    I’ve gone through and entered the venues into the back end with your handy interface, but unfortunately can’t seem to get the venue listing widget to function correctly.

    You can see in the bottom-left section of the front page, or on the right sidebar of subsequent pages, that it is hung up on requiring a venue category.

    Any feedback you can give would be much appreciated. Have a nice night.

    – Dan.

    Hi Dan,

    Seems a label hasn’t been named correctly. It should be “Select Venue”.

    I’ll fix this, but in the mean-time you can fix it with the following added to your theme’s functions.php

    add_filter( 'eventorganiser_widget_event_venues_dropdown_args', 'dan_venue_widget_args' );
function dan_venue_widget_args( $args ){
    $args['show_option_none'] = 'Select Venue';
    return $args;
}

    Default behaviour is to only display venues with events on it. To change that you can set the hide_empty argument

    $args['hide_empty'] = 0;

    The $args are passed to wp_dropdown_categories() (see codex) and so can accept any of the arguments listed there.

    Many thanks for the quick feedback, Stephen!

    The clarification is very helpful, though my goal in this context was to find a widget which would allow for me to have a page which displays all of the event venues which are in the database.

    It seems like that isn’t a current functionality of the widget – though I hope that you consider adding it in the future. I really enjoy the back-end interface (as well as the generation of venue pages with event listings upon creation).

    A very handy widget, thanks again for your help!

    Ah I see. Venues are a custom taxonomy, and WordPress doesn’t natively handle archives of taxonomy terms in the way it handles archives of posts. However there is this gist (https://gist.github.com/stephenharris/4988324) which creates a page template for listing venues.

    It’s possible to support pagination if required but it’s a little more involved.
