    I’m inquiring to see if someone could customize GeoDirectory Events plugin so a location field would be a drop down that pulls the location name and other location information (address, phone, website uel, etc.) from the listings database? This information would appear in the events and link to the listing page – similar to the way it works in the Events Manager plugin. See screen shots.

    What is the difference with the Event Linking as per https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/linking-events-to-places/ ?
    That gives the option to select a place?
    You just want it to look/function different?

    With Events Manager we set up a Location only once with Location name, address, web address, phone number etc. Then when we want to add an event we (or they) simply pull the location name from the drop down and all the other info comes with it. That event and all the events associated with that location link to the Location and are also listed on the Location’s page.
    Near as I can tell with GD we would be required to add that information every time an event is added to our site and it would need to be manually linked to the Location.
    We list about 2000 events each month so to have to type in that additional info each time would be too time consuming and less accurate.

    With GD you set up a “Place” once, and then when you want to add an event at that place, you simply select the place from the list of places and all the other info comes with it. That event and all other events at that place will be listed in the events tab of the place, and all events will have a link to the place.
    Please review the link I posted earlier and try implementing it to see how it can work for you.

    Great – thanks. Is it possible to have it set so that any registered user can use any “Place”?

    We’d have to ask the developers if it is possible. I’ll escalate for you.

    Any idea if it might be possible to give Subscribers an Administrator capability specific to that function, maybe using a User Role Editor plugin?
    Thanks for your time on this.

    As an admin I should be able to use that for all “Places” correct? In my trails the Business Listing function only shows the first few with a given first letter. i.e. if I type “Black” I get 3 or 4 at the start of the B’s – not Black. IS that correct?

    I am not sure if only the business list can be targeted by user role. I doubt it.

    The field is not a search field as such, you need to know the title of the Place exactly. Typing “Black” should get any listing starting with “Black” but will not get any listings like “The Black Horse”.
