Category Dropdown

[Dave Navarro]

On the full calendar page, I’d like a dropdown menu item at the top which allows the viewer to select a specific category.

In fact, how do you view a calendar with just one selected category? I tried “/calendar/category/sports” And I got a 404 page.

If I click on a category in a single-event I get a listview and not a calendar.

Hi Dave,

If you wanted to display a drop-down so the user can select a category to view you can use:

 [eo_fullcalendar headerRight="category"]

(or headerLeft, headerCenter depending on where you want to the drop-down to appear. If you wanted to display a calendar with just one category you can use

 [eo_fullcalendar category="foobar"]

(shortcode docs: http://wp-event-organiser.com/documentation/shortcodes/event-full-calendar-short-code/)

If however you wanted a calendar to appear on the top of your category page (events/category/foobar) you can use the following a template:

 //This will only work on the category template(`taxonomy-event-category.php`)
 $category = get_queried_object();
 eo_get_event_fullcalendar( array( 
    'category' =>  $category->slug,
 ) );
