  1. This widget can only be used on the detail pages of your listings, and will show only on events detail pages.
  2. The widget will only show to logged in users.
  3. Logged in users will be able to confirm they are attending the event or they maybe will be attending.
  4. Once an event has passed, the buttons to attend will disappear, but the information will stay visible.
  5. Here is an example:

GD > Related Events Listing

Settings

This Events widget is specifically for the detail pages of your listings, and will show the events that have been submitted for a particular place.

The widget will only work on the default custom post type Places; it will not show on any other custom post type detail pages.

Most of the settings are self-explaining, and are the same as some of the settings of the Popular Post View widget, with one main difference:

Enable Location Filter: You can show events at a listing automatically on the detail page of that listing if you have both the Prices and Payment Addon and Events Addon enabled. Just follow these steps:

  1. In the Prices and Payment settings, set Link business to Yes in the Events pricing.
  2. Add the Related Events Listing widget to the detail page, and enable the Location Filter
  3. Now if the same user adds an event and chooses one of the listings from the Fill in Business Details menu, that event will automatically be listed on the detail page for the listing.
