    Hello,

    I have a list of events but I would like to add the name of each month above the listing so that user’s can filter each month to view events for that month. For example January, February etc.

    Is this possible with the event manager plugin and if so, could someone kindly point me in the right direction/documentation on how this can be done?

    Can it be done via the shortcode or plugin settings or does it require PHP in the template?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Hi

    This can easely be done. It’s in the helps and docs of the plugin. See my settings in this screenshot:

    My grouping is daily, but the title and date presentation should be the same. The %s in the second field will be replaced by the format from third field. How to add third field content and what do the letters represent, see the WordPress FAQ:

    Thanks for your reply and advice. Will take a look at your settings and the documentation then to find.

    Will this allow me to have the previous and next months either side as links that will then show the event listing for that month when clicked?

    Further to this: can a monthly view be accessed via URL?

    e.g. something using a GET query string in the URL:
    myevents.com/category/concerts?m=2017-09

    or something similar?

    @craigbirch: don’t know. never did this. look at all your available avriables by accessing the links under certain textareas. Examples:
    Event Related Placeholders
    Location Related Placeholders
    Cannot give you link to these as they are local, so you must be able to view it on your local WP isntall.

    @controlb: i and my dev worked a lot on this to figure out how search works but did not managed to properly do it. I was able to send category ID as a search string but never tried with date.
    This is what i am using to link directly to pre filtered search results by category:
    https://yourwebsite.com//events/?action=search_events_grouped&category=34
    where 34 is the category ID you need.

    I saw on another website the following string:
    events/?s&start_date=15-08-2017&end_date=16-08-2017&someotherstring=1

    This was not properly working for me but you can try. I based my solution on the action that is parsed into the form (events-search.php) and started printing out arguments.

    BTW i needed this because there is no possibility to group events by day or month if you list them by category, but if you search based on a category, than search results are grouped by day, or what you have set in settings. So instead i linked to pre-filtered search and got my events listed based on category ??
