Help Excluding Event Categories from Calendar Widget

[Jason]

I’m looking for ways to exclude event categories from the calendar widget and I came across this thread that said it’s not currently possible with the standard TEC queries.

Exclude categories from calendar widget?

Has anyone had success modifying table-mini.php to achieve this?
Will this suggestion be incorporated into 2.1? If so, is there a timeline for when 2.1 might be released?

A “cheap and cheerful” way of doing this could be to edit the tribe_mini_display_day() function contained in your custom table-mini.php template.

It might need a bit of polish, but replacing it with this version seems to do the trick. You would of course need to replace “Do Not Show” with the actual name of the category you wish to omit.

2.1 is now 3.0 – we expect it to be released sometime soon but I’m afraid I still can’t give a guarantee of exactly when or even quite what features will make the final cut.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for the code you supplied. The categories are removing correctly with it, but the arrow pointing to the dates is also disappearing. If I sort out a polished version, I’ll put it up for others to reference.

It’s not actually a bug in the code, but the original table-mini.php has .tribe-events-arrow inside .tribe-events-tooltip and this has it outside. If you’re using the default events.css file, you’ll need to move it back inside.

With this change, everything’s displaying correctly.

Yeah my bad, but thanks for posting back with an updated version 🙂

Not a problem; you did the hard part 🙂
