Signature

apply_filters( 'mam_gd_events_exclude_from_map', bool $exclude );

Returns: bool — true to exclude events from map content; false to include them.

Purpose

Stops gd_event posts from appearing on the map content type. By default, when an admin picks a gd_event taxonomy term as the content source for a Map content type, the events are rendered as map markers. This filter lets you override that — useful when you want one map for venues and a separate calendar for events, with no cross-contamination.

When it runs

In mam_geodirectory_content::get_data_for_app():

$exclude_events_from_map = apply_filters( 'mam_gd_events_exclude_from_map', false );

Fires once per request, before the per-listing loop. The result is then passed to finalize_listing_base_data() and downstream finalisers, which use it to skip event-only setup for map output.

Examples

Always exclude events from maps

add_filter( 'mam_gd_events_exclude_from_map', '__return_true' );

Exclude only on certain content types

There is no built-in way to inspect the current vc_type here — the filter doesn’t pass it. Use the global $_REQUEST to detect the surface or override the listings via Hook: mam_geodirectory_explcit_listings for full control.

Gotchas

• Affects every map request site-wide. This filter is global; there is no per-content-type override path through this hook alone. A naive __return_true removes events from every map.
• Doesn’t affect the calendar surface. Calendar requests use get_events_only() which forces the post type to gd_event; this filter is only consulted in the standard list/map path.
• Bool only. Truthy returns work, but always return a real bool.

Verification

This article was last verified against:

• Plugin: mam-geodirectory v2.1.5
• Source: content-classes/local-app-geodirectory-v2-class.php (line 495)

Re-verify whenever the call site moves, the per-listing finaliser stops consulting $exclude_events_from_map, or events stop being included in the map by default.
