Customise category dropdown

    [eo_fullcalendar headerCenter=’category’] does a nice job of adding a category list to the full calendar, is it possible to customise that list?

    If I have the following categories:

    Category One
    Category Two
    Category Three
    Category Four

    and I only want Category Two and Category Three to be visible in the dropdown list? Is there a way to do this?

    If not is there a workaround?

    We have categories that should only be visible to teachers and other that should only be visible to students. Without the ability to create multiple calendars, categories seem to be the obvious workaround? Unless there’s something else I’m missing?

    Thanks

    Unfortunately this isn’t possible – the categories are retrieved via get_terms() which knows nothing of the context the categories are going to be used in. So it doesn’t know if its for the teacher calendar, pupil calendar or a list in the admin etc.

    Separate calendars are probably the only way to go.

    Of course you could filter the events with a bit of code depending on the user’s role (‘teacher’ or ‘student’). In this way, the category would still appear in the list, but wouldn’t show any events.
