Normal calendar with filter and List mode with specific catergories

[jcimb]

I have a 2-column layout. The first column to get displayed has List Mode specifying 2 categories. The second column has a normal calendar with filter option so user can specify.
The showCat for the List Mode is affecting the categories the normal calendar shows, so I put in
unset($showCat, $_REQUEST['showCat']);
but when the user selects the filter option on the normal calendar, the unset seems to be unsetting the user's selection.

So, I read another post about setting temporary variables, so I tried various versions of putting that before and after the List Mode, before and after the Normal mode, and latest try was to put it around the List Mode and Filter. None are giving the desired result.
Here is the page with just the unset: www.tallyholeesburg.com/index.php
and here is the page where I'm trying the temporary variables:
www.tallyholeesburg.com/test6.php

Where am I going wrong?
BTW, This is the BEST calendar - thank you! Never going back to the other free one I used to use.
Thanks in advance.

Basically, you want to save the variables before you unset them, and then reset them after. So since you want your list to skip those settings, this is how it would look

PHP Code:

$tempShowCat = $_REQUEST['showCat'];
unset($_REQUEST['showCat']);
$LIST=1;
<... list variables ...>
require("calendar/calendar.php");
$_REQUEST['showCat'] = $tempShowCat;

ve9gra,

At first it didn't work, but I replaced:
$_REQUEST['showCat'] = $tempShowCat;
with this line and it worked perfectly:
$showCat = $tempShowCat;

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the quick response.
This calendar is the best!
(I forgot to say that this is the paid version 6.3.27.)
