How to make the legend colors/text clickable

[mpoyner]

I was asked to show an alternate view of the calendar program that I currently have up at http://www.bridgeoflife.org/calendar/

The alternate view is here: http://bridgeoflife.org/calendar/index2.php

On both of these views, I would like to make the legend's colors and text filter when clicked, such as is done at this site: http://physiology.cwru.edu/calendar.php

How is this type of filtering (without a drop-down) implemented?

Thanks and I love this calendar program!

Basically they used the showCat filter variable option and modified the legend to create links that pass the filter variable to the page.

I've just modified the legend plugin to have links. Rename the file attached to "legend-filter.php" and upload to your /calendar/plugins folder. Then use the same instructions as for the regular legend plugin.

<?php require("plugins/legend-filter.php"); ?>

Pretty cool ve9gra.

BTW, I've modified the board to allow PHP files to be uploaded too.

Think this should be a sticky?

[ve9gra]

Ah cool, that'll help!

Up to you if you want to sticky it. It'll be safely kept in my repository of misc tweaks.

Thanks so much ve9gra!! This is definitely something to put into your release notes/sticky it, something, Brian.

Great stuff.

I just went live with the calendar at http://www.meditationinnorcal.org/ca...c_calendar.php. Prior to the legend-filter plugin I just had the regular legend and everyone that I showed the calendar to tried to click a category and it went nowhere. So great job! Thanks, much.

I see the nice looking calendar and pop ups. I wish I could make this work on my site. I paid for the calendar.

Even the demo programs provided do not show the calendar as nice as this site.
