Filtering location by City Form

Hi Claudio,

Take a look at this snippet:
https://pastebin.com/WhHKd6rH

Although it’s intended to add a countries filter, you should be able to use location_town instead of instead of location_country.

Tanks caimin it seams what i am looking for.
I am not a programmer as metioned in a past post, can i use the snippet
in a custom template ?
Ciao
Claudio

Ps.
Since i am using location_town must i put all the towns in:$allowed_countries = array("US","CN"); ?

Ok this is what i did ` <!– START Country Search –>
<div class=”em-search-country em-search-field”>
<label><?php echo esc_html(get_option(‘dbem_search_form_town_label’)); ?></label>
<select name=”Citta” class=”em-search-town em-events-search-town “>
<option value=”><?php echo esc_html(get_option(‘dbem_search_form_town_label’)); ?></option>
<?php
//get the counties from locations table
global $wpdb;
$towns = em_get_towns();
$em_towns = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT DISTINCT location_town FROM “.EM_LOCATIONS_TABLE.” WHERE location_town IS NOT NULL AND location_town != ” AND location_status=1 ORDER BY location_town ASC”, ARRAY_N);
$ddm_towns = array();
foreach($em_towns as $em_town){
$ddm_towns[$em_town[0]] = $towns[$em_town[0]];
}
asort($ddm_towns);
$allowed_towns = array(“Napoli”,”Pozzuoli”);
foreach( $ddm_towns as $town_code => $town_name ):
//we’re not using esc_ functions here because values are hard-coded within em_get_countries()
if ( in_array($town_code,$allowed_towns) ){
?>
<option value=”<?php echo $town_code; ?>” <?php echo (!empty($_REQUEST[‘town’]) && $_REQUEST[‘town’] == $town_code) ? ‘selected=”selected”‘:”; ?>><?php echo $town_name; ?></option>
<?php } ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>
</div>
<!– END Country Search –>`
Changing all countries to towns and all countrie to town
+ plus changed allowed coutries inserting two towns.
But all i get is a serch form that says City/Town then a dropdown that only shows this enty City/Town an thats it.
What am i doing wrong ?

Sorry, I think I misread your original question. There’s a much easier way ??

Go to Events > Settings > Formatting > Search Form and set Show towns/cities to Yes.

No that works fine in my event page, but searches for events in a City/town.
What i need is a search filter that shows all locations (not events) in a specific town because not all locations have events going on but i need to show them anyway.

If you think it might help i can past my custom template some where.
Grazie caimin

You can use the [locations_list] shortcode to do this:
https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/shortcodes/

You’d need to add in the one of the location attributes to display event in each town:

I think i do not undesrtand exactly what to do.
I have created a regular WP page and put this in it:<ul>[locations_list]<li>#_LOCATIONTOWN</li>[/locations_list]</ul>this is what i get:
TOWN LIST
Napoli
Napoli
Napoli
Napoli
Napoli
Pozzuoli
Salerno
Napoli
Napoli
Napoli

what i would like is someting like:
Choose the town you wish to see the locations (with or without events)
-a dropdown of towns – and once one town is chosen the the template will filter for locations that only are in that town.
is’ probably a very simple thing to do but you must excuse me caimin but i do not understand how to implement it.

Thank you for your time and cutresy.
Claudio

have you tried Events > Settings > Formatting > Search Form ? or template file events-manager/templates/templates/locations-search.php
