Filter plugin customization

[N_Bellingham]

Hi,

Thanks for great scripts.

I have a working page with a list of this weeks events created by:-
<?php
$LIST=1;
$listWeeks = 1;
$DF = "D jS M";
$template="brides.php";
require("../calendar/calendar.php");
?>

then a mini calendar, legend and filter:-

<?php require("../calendar/calendar.php"); ?>
<?php $epcMultiCatShow=1; ?>
<?php require("../calendar/plugins/legend.php"); ?>
<?php require("../calendar/plugins/filter.php"); ?>

If I filter it only provides a list of events for the filtered category within the 1 week set by the first php statement. I would like the filter to list all events within a category, not just in the next week.

Any guidance would be most welcome.

many thanks, Neil

You can't filter all events... you still have to define a length of time for the calendar to fetch the events.

I suggest you use the $noOld=1; setting to hide past events, and then modify the line that you have for $listWeeks to the following:

PHP Code:

if (isset($_REQUEST['showCat']) and $_REQUEST['showCat']!="") {
$listWeeks = 12; // this is the one when a category is selected
} else {
$listWeeks = 1; // this is the default one
} 


Of course, adjust the values for $listWeeks to suit what you need.

Thank you. That works perfectly.

I note in some forum posts that you have written plugins. Do you have a list of all your plugins and their features as some might be useful? Couldn't find this on your site.

I don't have an official list, as this all started from custom requests.

Here's a few examples:
- full-filter: shows a drop-down for all categories, not only the main one
- legend-filter: integrates the filter functionality in the legend plugin
- multi-filter: changes the selection mode from a drop-down to checkboxes, so that you can select multiple categories to display
- limited-filter: limits the categories shown in the filter (to hide private categories)
- constant-filter: keeps a category selected no matter what the user chooses; this was used with a "control category" like "Public" with only one selection of "Yes", it was meant to fill a need that version 7 now has built in with the new user management... so unless you're using V6 it's unlikely that you'd need this one

And then I have several combination of various filters together... like limited-full-filter, constant-full-filter, etc.

That's for plugins... I also have modules, where I manipulate the output of the calendar.
- blog-list: think blog-like display (all the day's events under one date header) but that displays several days... and customizable so you can define to fetch events from a few days ahead or back, how many days you want to fetch, and if you want to run the list in reverse (like an archive with the most recent at the top)
- RSS feed: this one takes the output of the list-mode and rearranges it into an RSS feed, either for direct user by your visitors, or syndication

I'm sure a few are escaping me right now. And like I said before these all started from custom requests, so if you think of something you'd like let me know and we'll see if it's possible.
