Pre-programmed searches

If there is a tag or any event characteristic you can use for that pre-programmed search, you can use JEvents Filter module and allow your users to just filter for that tag or that custom field.

As this will be a filter of the view your are in, you can use it with any of JEvents views (Monthly calendar, weekly view, yearly view, date range view...) and you can customize these using JEvents Custom layout feature or using Joomla! Template Overrides.

If this does not help, can you please provide an example of what you are looking for?

Hi Skybird,
I got your PM. If you cannot modify the feed the only way I can think of is that you set in JEvents configuration to allow editing imported events and that you edit them after import. You may also set them so that they get locked after this edit so that another reimport will not affect them, but this way might give you a problem of reimporting.

Another more elaborated option might be that you trigger the filtering on each page with some Javascript according to any menu item parameter, but that involves some programming and is out of the scope of the support we provide in the free forum.

Basically, add:

?search_fv=my%20search

to the url and it would search for: my search

I think that is what you are after?

Thanks
Tony
