Add an Additional Field to the Menu

[stvweb]

I have created one additional field called Field of Study with a Dropdown Field Type and 11 options to choose from. The field is displaying correctly in the Event Details. I want to know if I can I add the additional field to the website menu so that visitors to my site can select an event based on one of the Field of Study options? Or is there another way visitors can only see events for a select Field of Study?

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out. I’d be happy to help with your question.

When using our Filterbar plugin, you can add custom fields to the filterbar which can be used to sort events in the way you describe. You could also copy the url with the query vars applied (the url that displays when using the filterbar that has the information needed for the filter appended to it) and add that to your site menu as a custom link.

I tried the filter urls without the filterbar plugin active, and it doesn’t work without it, so you would need to purchase the plugin in order to implement this.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks,
Sky
