Event Calendar Admin's Manual

3. Setting-up a Calendar

3.7. Filters Box

This is where you control the Filters Box inserted into the calendar pages via the <!--#eventCalendarFiltersBox--> macro (see the User's Manual). In non-calendar pages, this macro will return an empty string.

Filters Box Template

This template controls the appearance and features of the Filters Box.

Several macro calls can be used in this template (using the same "<!--#macroName--> form as usual):

• formAction
  This will be replaced with the action attribute of the <form> tag. It should be called like this: <form action="<!--#formAction-->" method="get">. Required.
• eventCategorySelector
  This will be replaced with a popup menu or a list box, depending on the parameters. See Displaying Categories for more information.
• eventCalMonthViewLink
  This will be replaced with a link pointing to the Month view (disabled in Month views)
• eventCalWeekViewLink
  This will be replaced with a link pointing to the Week view (disabled in Week views)
• eventCalDayViewLink
  This will be replaced with a link pointing to the Day view of today (disabled in Day views)
• eventCalendarDefaultViewForm
  This will be replaced with a button allowing members to set their default view, and with a feedback message displayed when using the button.
• eventCalendarUserOptionsLink
  This will be replaced with the "User's Options" link (visible only to members and higher). This macro takes two optional parameters: "text" allows you to define the text that will be visible to the users, "class" allows you to set the CSS class to use (ex: <!--#eventCalendarUserOptionsLink text="User's Options" class="eventCalendarViewLinksText"-->).

Default View Button

This text field lets you set the label of the button returned by the eventCalendarDefaultViewForm macro. It defaults to "Default View".

Reload Calendar

This is the default value for the Reload Calendar Pages user's preference. When set to "Yes", members who didn't set their own preferences will see their Calendar window reloaded when they submit their changes in the Event Editor (creating or updating an event).
