several pre-sale questions p7 – filter bar

[george]

hi,

not sure i got understanding how to use filter bar , how to make possible to filter by month and if it will help me to achieve what i need …

i want to make a site with list of events of three types:
* cinema
* theater
* disco

i plan to use most of the time LIST VIEW.
will it be possible to use “filter bar” and to display only :

a) cinema events in june
b) cinema events in june and august (not includig the one from july)
c) disco and cinema events in september (only this month and non other months)

for each of this three options, can you explain approach in categories / tags to achieve this.

Hello again George,

On our test site you can give the filter bar a test drive, at least the front end part of it.

The one more challenging thing in your request is filtering for 2 months at the same time, even in list view. There is no specific filter that would allow you to choose multiple months.

As I described in the other thread, you can search for date with the default search bar. The result will be events which are on that date or later. The number of events displayed in the result list depends on your per page setting under Events > Settings > General tab.

If there is 1 event in January, 5 in February and 5 in March, your setting is 10 per page, then you will be shown the Jan event, all the Feb events and 4 events from March.

A workaround could be if you would create tags from the month names, and I assume cinema, theater, and disco will be categories. Then you can filter for the category and the tag, and you can have any combination.

I encourage you to check this out on our test site.

Also, feel free to purchase Filter Bar, take it for a spin, and if you decide it’s not for you, you can ask for a full refund within 30 days of purchase.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Andras
