Listing venues with descriptions

[Duarte Lourenco]

Hi there,

Is there a way to have a list of venues with descriptions?
Listing all the venues with the corresponding link is simple enough:

[eo_events] %event_venue%[/eo_events]

But I can’t seem to find a way to display the content inserted in the visual/text editor along with the names of the venues

thank you in advance

Hi Duarte

The above would display the venue of each event returned. So you wouldn’t necessarily get all venues, and you may see duplications.

There’s no shortcode for listing venues, but you can do the following:

$venues = eo_get_venues();

if( $venues ){
  foreach($venues as $venue){
     $venue_id = (int) $venue->term_id;
     printf('<a href="%s"><h2>%s</2></a>', eo_get_venue_link($venue_id), esc_html($venue->name));
     echo '<p>' . eo_get_venue_description( $venue_id ) . '</p>';
  }
}

Documentation on getting venues / venue description can be found here: http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_get_venues.html and here: http://codex.wp-event-organiser.com/function-eo_get_venue_description.html

If you wanted to turn that into a shortcode, you can find out how here: http://wp-event-organiser.com/blog/tutorial/creating-your-own-shortcodes/.

The code for defining a shortcode should go in a utility plug-in or theme’s functions.php, or you could put the above snippet in a template.
