Event tags as search criteria

    We’re trying to modify the event search to be based on event tags instead of event categories. We were able to convert our categories to tags with Taxonomy Converter and then created a custom template for using tags in search.

    However, soon as we try to get Events Manager to accept “tag” as a search parameter, it gives us a 404 Page not found error. An URL like this works: /?action=search_events_grouped&em_search=&town=&scope[0]=&scope[1]=&category=15&country= but this does not: /?action=search_events_grouped&em_search=&town=&scope[0]=&scope[1]=&tag=15&country=.

    How to get EM to accept tag(s) as a search attribute?

    Just to clarify: Do you mean standard WordPress tags, or Events Manager’s event tags?

    Thanks for the replies, Angelo and Caimin. We’re trying to use the event tags by Event Manager. Are they supported yet? If not, perhaps there should a mention of “beta” next to their settings.

    We didn’t find any front-end features for them, and it’s a bit odd if we’ll have to implement our own search attribute for them. Not that it’d be a big obstacle, but this seems like the kind of feature we’d expect EM to ship with as there’s a support for tags in general settings.

    While there’s no default option to search by event tags, they are fully supported and aren’t in beta.

    I just found this snippet which should help with what you want to do:

    Thanks for the support. We’ve decided to focus on other development tasks for the moment. Marking as resolved, will reopen if necessary.

    What is it possible to use tags for (how are they fully supported) if they can’t be used for searching? At least some time ago the front end support for adding them was missing. Has that now been added? If, then we’re only missing back end and front end parts for searching until we can start testing event tags.
