well… I’d stay at loc. categories to build the map.
I’ve got to look into how [locations_map] shortcode is built and on that foundation we’d make the map 😉
stay tuned! 🙂
Mariusz,
Do you mind sharing the final code you used in functions.php to get your location categories working?
I can add it to my test site to try and help solve this mystery 😉

Rich – sure, I can share it. But I’ve done nothing to the functions.php in my theme.
I’ve set up taxonomy via Ultimate Taxonomy Manager and that’s it.
Look at category.php of mine:
http://www.copypastecode.com/530524/
@wp-solution.com well. we consider listing category locations right here with the map…
This plugin has native funcionality to list locations events either you want to do something weird.. 😉
@wp-solution.com I think @mariusz and I(& a others) are trying to do something similar.
I have a site where I need to list locations(or show a map of location) by a location type(category): bars, brewpubs & breweries.
Location Categories or Tags do not exist natively with the Events Manager plugin.
If you add this Location Category functionality via a Custom Taxonomy/Post-type the shortcodes for showing maps wont let you filter based on the custom location type.
I don’t know why the authors defend the plugin from adding locations category…
because it’s easy to add custom taxonomies with another plugin or a few lines of code. our events categories/tags go further than standar CTs by being available for filtering in our shortocde etc.
Hi Marcus,
I was able to add the custom taxonomies with another plugin and that works great!
But how do I get the event manager shortcodes to use the new custom taxonomies?
For example I want to show a map of only brewery locations:
http://richplakas.wpengine.com/location-type/brewery/
I tried: [locations_map location-type=”brewery”] but that just brings up a map of everything: http://richplakas.wpengine.com/austin-brewery-map/
Thanks!
@marcus
If it’s so easy to implement why don’t you give an opportunity for WP-dummies to do it thanks to one plugin?
This built-in function might be introduced with the map – on map there could be displayed certain category locations in the nearby area having similar events (eg. friday concerts in pubs)
our events categories/tags go further than standar CTs by being available for filtering in our shortocde etc.
adding a custom taxonomy and attaching it to any CPT is easy, however creating a custom search attribute integrating with our shortcode is harder and requires PHP experience – http://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/creating-custom-event-search-attributes/ mixed in with the alternate method mentioned on that page.
We get asked this quite often, so certainly something we can considre adding ourselves, but we have a lot of requests for new features so we need to work through these first.
Unfortunately those tutorials combined with my minute PHP skills don’t help me with getting search attributes working with Custom Taxonomies I setup.
Are there any other tutorials that could get me pointed in the right direction?

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. If you add custom pin image to the locations map category – you’d make my day!
@mariusz, @rplakas could you finally show a map with locations filtered by category? If so, could you guide me a little bit? Thank you very much!
