need categories in "View As" list

[Nicole]

i found this thread and placed the code in functions.php but it doesnt do anything:

Need to show Event Category in list, photo and month-view

add_action(‘tribe_events_before_the_content’, ‘add_event_categories’);

function add_event_categories() {
if (tribe_is_upcoming()) // You can add more conditionals to catch other views, etc
echo tribe_get_event_categories();
}

Hi there, Nicole!

That snippet does do something–however, I don’t think it does what you’re looking for.

The snippet displays the categories for each even when in the calendar’s List View (screenshot).

It sounds like you are looking for a way to allow visitors to filter the calendar by selecting from a menu of available categories–is that correct?

If so, it does take a fair amount of custom development to make that happen. Alternatively, you can check out our Filter Bar add-on which does that right out of the box.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

hi Geoff,
actually, that is what i was looking for…but now that I look at it, it doesnt make sense to have that option as part of that list anyway. I am using filter bar, so all is well.
thank you!

Rad! Thanks for following up. I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but feel free to start a new one if anything else pops up and we’d be happy to help.

Cheers!
Geoff
