Clicking View More in a Widget that has a Filter…

[mskopel]

Sorry, could not really think of the right title for this question.

I have the Events widget on a sidebar, it is filtered so as to show only one category. When someone clicks View More, the link takes them to a calendar page that is specific to that category… “/events/category/[selected-category]/”. This shows only the events for the selected category.

The problem is that at the top of the calendar I have my other categories. When I select another category to view, the events on the calendar are greyed out but the newly selected category events are not displayed because the page/url is specific to the event category selected from the widget.

Is there a way to have the category links at the top of the calendar open the url for that event category? Or, is there a way to have the View More from a widget open the full calendar and have all but the selected category greyed out? I’m open to other ideas and have no problem going into the code.

Thanks.

Hello mskopel,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I checked out the site and noticed the issue that you are describing. It looks like this functionality isn’t something that is controlled by our plugin. It’s possibly a feature supplied by a third-party plugin or something built into the theme?

However, you could check to see if there is an option of doing the filter with AJAX and modifying the URL for each of those filters. Not sure if this is possible with the way the feature is currently developed but that would be where I would look to start.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to give you a direct response however I hope this was able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks!

Thanks Josh, I did not realize it but it is the Events Calendar Category Colors plugin that is managing that functionality. I’ll check with them.

Hello mskopel,

Thanks for following up with us! Also, sorry for all the multiple responses initially. My internet connection was a little wonky the other day :).

I’ll go ahead and close this ticket. If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to open a new one.
