Search only list view with Month as default view

[ardcgarage]

Hi Tribers,
I’m wondering if there is a way to set my search bar to always search for/return search results in list view, despite my default view set to month?
ie I only have Month and List views, and would like the search bar on both views to always search and return in List.
Make sense?
Cheers in advance…

Hi there, Samantha! Thanks for getting in touch.

Interesting question and, yes, that totally makes sense. Good job describing what you’re looking for. 🙂

I  imagine this is quite possible, but would certainly take some custom development to get running. We’re fairly limited in being able to help with custom development, but here’s what I would suggest…

First, check out our Themer’s Guide. This is a good first place to start when it comes to customizing the calendar’s templates.

One idea might be to create your own page template, query the events, and display the events in Month View while keeping your default view set to List View. Recreating the month view will certainly be the toughest part.

Another idea could be to use a redirect on all search queries. Perhaps a re-write rule to include /list/ in the URL would be a possibility.

I see this feature has been suggested over on our UserVoice page. I’d suggest heading over there and adding your vote if you’d like to see it considered for a future release.

Sorry I don’t have a concrete solution for you here, but I hope this at least points you in the right direction and helps answer your question. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
