Filtering events in all 50 states with the same types of activities


  • Keith Martin July 25, 2012 Answered ✔ Closed ✘

    I am looking to create a easily filtered calendar. It will have basically 4-5 event types in just about every state. Most events take place on weekends. Obviously this can make for a very cluttered calendar full of info that is not relevant for many users. I would like to have an easy set of menus where the user can choose a state or states and then event types. Do you have examples of this being done? Any ideas?

    thanks

    Hi Keith. Thanks for your interest in the plugin here. From the sounds of it your best bet here would be to segment the events out into separate categories, then provide links to the specific categories (rather than to the full calendar) from your menu navigation. Users will still be able to click back to the broader calendar if they wish to from within an event – although you can hide that too, with some simple customizations – but this will allow you to differentiate and not have it all cluttering up one calendar.

    That help? We do have a fair number of users relying on the calendar this way. You may want to check out our Showcase thread (at http://tri.be/support/forums/topic/showcase-2-0/) for a few ideas. If you have any other questions on this or if I misunderstood the initial question to begin with, please let me know. Thanks again for your interest.

    No problem at all. If you have additional questions once you’ve had time to look into it – no matter how far down the road that may be – just let me know and I’ll get you what you need. Have a great week otherwise.
