Hi Tony,

I have set up multiple categories and used them to create some views that show events the way I'm looking to do. This just leaves me a little confused as to the actual purpose of the assignment of categories to a particular calendar. Can you explain?

Hello,

Calendars are known as Feeds to put it simply. They are the container of where they are stored or imported to. But have little relevance to the end user.

How are you assigning a category to a calendar?

I misspoke. I meant assigning events to a particular calendar. I am assigning all events to a calendar called Default calendar unless I can figure out a good reason not to.

Hello,

Can you explain what exactly you want to achieve? At present we allow assigning to 1 calendar since that's it's original home. then Categories for filtering etc which can have multiple selection. You can even use custom fields with our Custom Fields plugin to have more defined filtering / selection.

Many thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,

I have solved my immediate issue, being that I wanted to set up views where more than one category could be viewed.

tonyp May I ask a question on this subject?
You said: "..you can even use custom fields with our Custom Fields plugin to have more defined filtering / selection."

I've been trying to find a way to filter in the calendar view for one of my custom fields.
My problem: I would like to set up a calendar with different sports - in different regions. For this I would like to filter in the calender view: by sport (this are my categories) and by region (is a custom field; select field)

How can I activate this? Plugin and modules are active. The template is assigned in the plugin, "Make fields available in lists and calendar" is active.

I am unfortunately a bit helpless

Hello,

It's no problem. So now you need to use the JEvents Filter module, and within this select the Custom tag :-).

Many thanks
Tony

Hi,

Do these categories already exist in JEvents? It should pick up the 2 and match them against existing category names

Hi,

the additional categories are not created manual. After add them manually and
reload the data is works.

Every fine now :-)

Best regards
Michael
