Category filter isn’t included in the widget yet.
But I will include it in one of the next version.
Category filter isn’t included in the widget yet.
Thanks for your swift reply.
However, the widget already shows a category filter which currently is set to “All”.
Question hence is, can one exclude a specific category by adding it with a minus? Or should one mention all categories to be included? If so, how should one include the categories and/or separate them?
Thanks in advance, Klaus
Sorry, I think I didn’t know my own plugin :-).
Have a look at the “Category Filter” tooltip:
This attribute specifies the categories of which events are shown. The standard is ‘all’ or an empty string to show all events. Specify a category slug or a list of category slugs to only show events of the specified categories. See description of the shortcode attribute “cat_filter” for detailed info about all possibilities.
An exclude of a specific category is not possible at the moment, but I can add this on my todo list, probably I can add something like that in the future.
Thanks, I will have a deeper look into this as so far I couldn’t find such tooltips.
As suggested, please consider to develop a selection list for the widget similar to the event description page where the respective category(ies) created are made visible and can be selected by selection boxes for easy inclusion. This would prevent switching again and again between pages to remember the codes for the categories.
Rational is, that e.g. the widget shall show only certain public events while internal member pages can present events including the internal ones for a given internal organization – or department.
Thanks, Klaus.
Thanks for your hint with the tooltips on the “about” page – where I wouldn’t have expected them.
So, combining the categories with a simple “,” without spaces (e.g. “cat1,cat3,cat5”) does the job. Nevertheless, a better selection method as suggested is highly appreciated.
Thanks, Klaus
