GeoDirectory Events Addon GPL v2.3.14

GeoDirectory Events Addon GPL Overview

The GeoDirectory Events Addon allows you to create a powerful and dynamic events directory. With this addon, you can manage events, create recurring event listings, and offer advanced filtering options to help users find the events that suit their interests and schedules. It provides an extensive set of features to enhance the functionality of your directory, making it ideal for websites dedicated to showcasing events, such as concerts, conferences, festivals, and more.

Key Features of the GeoDirectory Events Addon

1. Custom Post Type for Events
   • The addon introduces a dedicated Event CPT (Custom Post Type) with event-specific fields such as dates, times, locations, and more. This allows you to create a fully event-centric directory.
2. Recurring Events
   • Users can create recurring events that automatically populate the directory. This saves time for event organizers by allowing them to set up recurring events once and have them appear automatically on the directory for every occurrence.
3. Advanced Filtering Options
   • The Advanced Filtering system enables users to filter events based on various criteria, such as event dates and categories. This makes it easy for users to find the events that are relevant to them.
   • Advanced Event Filtering includes:
     • Upcoming Events: View all upcoming events.
     • Past Events: Show events that have already occurred.
     • Today’s Events: Display only events happening today.
     • Tomorrow’s Events: Show events happening tomorrow.
     • +7 Days: Events happening in the next seven days.
     • +30 Days: Events in the next thirty days.
     • This Weekend: Events happening during the current weekend.
     • This Month: Events happening this month.
     • Next Month: Events happening next month.
     • Next Week: Events happening in the next week.
4. Calendar View
   • The calendar view allows users to see which days have events scheduled. This feature provides an intuitive way to browse events based on their dates.
5. Multiple Event CPTs
   • When combined with the Custom Post Types Addon, you can create multiple Event-specific CPTs. This gives you flexibility in managing different types of events within your directory.
6. Link Events to Venues
   • Events can be linked to a “Venues” CPT (requires the Custom Post Types Addon). This allows you to display a list of all upcoming events at a specific venue, providing more context and helping users find events based on location.
7. Advanced Search
   • Using the Advanced Search Addon, you can add date fields to the main search bar, enabling users to search for events by specific dates.
8. Price-Specific Features
   • You can use the Pricing Manager Addon to create price packages for events. For example, you can limit access to recurring events to specific pricing packages or upsell features such as premium event listings.

Recurring Event Types

The GeoDirectory Events Addon supports multiple types of recurring events, allowing event organizers to create events that repeat automatically on specific schedules:

• Daily: Events can repeat every day or after a set number of days.
• Weekly: Events can repeat every week or after a set number of weeks. You can also specify the day of the week for the event to recur.
