How to list all venues

Unfortunately WordPress doesn’t generate an archive of taxonomy terms (a venue is a taxonomy term). You can create your own shortcode, or create a page template and use eo_get_venues().

I wouldn’t try to call the widget though, as that would involve initialising a ‘fake’ widget instance. But by all means copy out the code, a venue list can be as simple as using wp_list_categories().

This seems to work, but given my limited amount of coding with PHP this could very well use a code review. If nothing else, it’s a working sample ??

I create the shortcode [eo_venues] which takes no parameters. It simply lists all the venues into a list sorted by name. It’s up to the user to create their own title for this list.

if ( ! function_exists( 'handle_venuelist_shortcode' ) ) {
	function handle_venuelist_shortcode () {

		$cat_args = array(
				'orderby' => 'name',
				'hierarchical' => false,
				'taxonomy' => 'event-venue',
				'id' => 'eo-event-venue'
				 );

		ob_start();
		echo '<ul>';
		$cat_args['title_li'] = '';
		wp_list_categories($cat_args);
		echo '</ul>';
		$list = ob_get_clean();

		return $list;
	} // End handle_venuelist_shortcode()
}
add_shortcode( 'eo_venues', 'handle_venuelist_shortcode' );
