Answered Filtering by Category in List view

Hi,

I'm trying to filter events by category in list view without success. Looking at the documentation it seems that this might not be an available option. The call I am using is this:



...which still displays all categories. Does anyone have any clues as to if or how I can do this?

Many thanks - Zaphodx

Thanks Charles, that's much appreciated. I must have got mixed up with which call to make for this, doh

Cheers - Zaphodx

To filter in the parameters by category use the &categoryFilter parameter.

Example if category id was 2 for Book Reading that I wanted to list. This filter works on the list and calendar views.

[[!mxcalendar?&categoryFilter=`2`]]

Cheers

charless I don't see this call in the documentation and it doesn't seem to be working for me. I have 9 categories and need to filter out two of them on one specific calendar. Here is my snippet call:

[[!mxcalendar?
&displayType=`calendar`
&elEndDate=`+30weeks`
&calendarFilter=`1`
&categoryFilter=`1,2,3,4,5,6,7`
&tplMonth=`TWOTMonth`
&tplDetail=`TWOTDetail`
&tplCategoryWrap=`TWOTCategoryWrap`
&tplCategoryItem=`TWOTCategoryItem`
]]

Everything else works great just the category call does not.

Have you tried to remove the calendar filter, it all depends on how the events are enterd based on the snippet what is filtered out. If you can provide a detail edit screen shot of an event you want to render I should be able to validate and provide more information possibly.

Cheers

Have you tried to remove the calendar filter

I tried removing the calendar filter and still did not remove the categories.
Maybe this will help get across what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a public and private side setup where the private side would have access to two more categories. I have 3 calendars total and on two of those calendars I would have two additional event categories that the public side would not get access too.

Hi there!

I tried to filter categories by using the following addition to the snippet call:



That doesn't work, it outputs "No events found".


When I only choose one category like this



or this



it works fine.


Seems like the comma-separation causes the error.

Is there a fix available for this?

Just wondered if there was any fix for this - using comma-separation causes failure: no events?
