event categories

[oliver]

hi ESCers,

I read it on another post that event categories would be coming on a new version. I'm thinking about buying the current version and living without categories til this version comes. I would just like to ask when it would be available (from what I understood, v6 is arriving at the end of the year or beginning of the next?)...

I'm looking for filtering the month view (not the event listing) according to these categories. I might also need cross-filtering (using two categories as criteria)... would this be possible?

to illustrate what I'm talking about, the site I'm going to use it on is for a school... they'd have separate events for different grade groups (ie junior high, high school, etc), and within these, categories like 'exams','field trips', etc.

thanks
Oliver

Categories is definitely a feature that is being worked on now. Filtering may be in a later version once Version 6 is released.
