Passing showcat parameters via URL ?

ignicoccus · 08-27-2007, 10:38 AM

Hi,

I realized, that it is possible, to pass certain parameters via the URL, like:

www.mycalendar.de/calendar.php?showcat=11&mo=6 and so on. I would like to submit an andvanced filter via the URL but this does not seem to work for me

www.mycalendar.de/calendar.php?showcat=11|12|&mo=6

Is this possible with easyphpcalendar ?

My problem is, that I have the main category for my events and another category for trainers. Now I want the user to be able to just see the events for category1 from trainer1 without creating a template for each event and trainer. If set the $showcat=11 (select Trainer1) in my template, every other showcat call is ignored.

Regards

Achim

Your template will override any URL variables. You should send them via the URL only.

Ok, but why does this :
www.mycalendar.de/calendar.php?showcat=11|12|&mo=6 (Filter from event mananger) not work ? Is there another way to pass the advanced filter via URL ?

It should work...

What database type are you using and what version of the calendar?

ignicoccus · 08-27-2007, 04:45 PM

The database is MySQL 4.1.22 and the calendar is 6.3.24b

Can you open a support ticket, dump and attach your database and your config.inc.php file so I can try to recreate what you're doing locally?

I will do so

I took a look at everything and replied but haven't heard anything back. Here is my response:

You're missing part of the filter, specifically the a (for match all). Otherwise it will match any filter criteria.

showCat=a|10|11

Try that.
