Add a category filter 

The filter lets visitors show and hide events by category. It consists of one or more category filters, each a group of categories.

  1. Create a record Category filter in a folder.

  2. Enter a title (shown as headline of the group) and select the categories of the group.

  3. Select the filter in the plugin, sheet Event filter.

    Plugin tab Event filter with category filters, filter root, excludes and prefilter
  4. Make sure the header or footer toolbar contains the button Filter (header and footer). It is part of the default toolbar.

A click on the button opens the filter:

How the groups work 

  • Within a group, every checked category shows its events (OR).
  • An event is only visible if it matches every group (AND). So with two groups, e.g. "Topic" and "Location", an event needs a category of each group.
  • The checkboxes use the color of the category.
  • Categories restricted to frontend user groups are only shown to these users.
  • The choice of the visitor is saved in the browser (local storage).
