Displaying calendars by category

[John]

Hey there,

I’m working on a client project who has 3 event pages. I need to display events in calendar view on each of these 3 pages, based on their category. On page 1 display events only from category 1, on page 2 events only from category 2, and on page 3 events only from category 3.

Is this possible? Reading through the documentation it appears as though it is not, but as it seemed like pretty standard functionality I wanted to check. I’m more than happy to buy the Pro version if it can accomplish this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi – great question!

Though embedding the calendar into other pages/posts isn’t natively supported at this time, you can certainly open any of our views (month view, list view, week view etc) in a specific category. So there’s no reason for instance you couldn’t simply like to the appropriate categories from your menu – which would basically achieve the same thing.

Does that help? Let us know if we can clarify anything else.

Thanks!

Hey Barry,

Thanks for your reply. When you say that I can link to the appropriate categories from my menu, is it also possible to link to a page NOT from the menu? For example, via a hyperlink (eg. http://example.com/events/category-1) and have that page display the month view displaying only events in category-1? I need to be able to link to the events pages not just from the menu, but directly via a link.

I know it isn’t supported but being able to use a shortcode to display events in the following way would be a really useful feature:
[mt-events-calendar view=’month’ cat=’category-1′]

We’re definitely open to any and all feature requests if you’d like to post one and yes, three’s no reason that you wouldn’t be able to simply insert a link to a given category from within a page or post, for example.

I hope that helps 🙂
