Filter Events by Categories in Calendar View

Is it possible to filter the events by categories in Calendar view?

Do something like this: index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=view_calendar&category_id=1
or even better: in the Calendar have a dropdown to of categories when you user selects a category they only see the events for that category in the calendar.

Thanks

Hi

If you want to show calendar of events from a category only, please create a menu item to link to Calendar Category Layout of Event Booking, choose the category you want to display from menu parameter and it will work as expected .

Thanks, totally missed that..

A suggestion to put at the bottom of the table (it could be optional setting) is a link to each category or selector. I have added code so each of my category is listed and links can be modified by css.

Code to add underneath table in: components\com_eventbooking\views\calendar\tmpl\default.php

<ul>
<?php $db = & JFactory::getDBO() ;
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM #__eb_categories' ;
$db->setQuery($sql) ;
$rows = $db->loadObjectList() ;


if (count($rows)) {
foreach ($rows as $row) {
$mylink = JText::_('index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=view_category&layout=calendar&category_id=' . $row->id); ?>

<li><div id="category-<?php echo $row->id; ?>">
<a href="<?php echo $mylink; ?>"> <?php echo $row->name; ?> </a>
</div></li>
<?php
}
}
?>
</ul>

code to add underneath table in: components\com_eventbooking\views\category\tmpl\calendar.php

<ul>
<li><a href="<?php echo JText::_('index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=view_calendar') ?>">Main Calendar</a></li>

<?php $db = & JFactory::getDBO() ;
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM #__eb_categories' ;
$db->setQuery($sql) ;
$rows = $db->loadObjectList() ;


if (count($rows)) {
foreach ($rows as $row) {
$mylink = JText::_('index.php?option=com_eventbooking&task=view_category&layout=calendar&category_id=' . $row->id);
if ($row->id != $this->category->id) { ?>
<li><div id="category-<?php echo $row->id; ?>">
<a href="<?php echo $mylink; ?>"> <?php echo $row->name; ?> </a>
</div></li>
<?php } ?>
<?php
}
}
?>
</ul>

Now the extension is using Themes, whats the up to date method of doing this please?

Hello Rusty

The file is now in this new location components/com_eventbooking/themes/default/calendar/default.php. Somehow, you will need to write code yourself to add the categories filter to have it works in the way you want
