It would be awesome to apply different layout settings using dynamic layouts option. For example, 4 items on a homepage and the complete calendar on a different page with the same widget. ---

- **Issue description:** I would like to use the event calendars grid layout in two spots on my website. First on the homepage I would like to have a short row for “Today’s Events” with the grid just showing the events for that given day. Then I would like to use the same grid but with all events on a Events calendar page. Is there any way to specify that I only want one days events on the homepage and the full calendar on the other page using the same widget? ---

Hi there and welcome aboard @Tyler_Dominick 👋 Unfortunately, there is no way to apply different settings to the same layout within one widget. However, we already have such a request in the Wishlist, and I’ve added your comment there too. We’ll keep you posted in this thread 🙂 ---

Hi … I want to display just 4 events on the homepage and then all of the events on a different page. I only want to upload events the once and so not have to use two separate widgets. Is there a way to do this using code on the website? Many thanks Steve ---

Hi there, @Osho_Leela 👋 Right now, unfortunately, it’s impossible to display different number of events on different pages using only 1 widget. However, we already have this idea on the Wishlist, and I’ve added your comment there too 🙂 ---

I would also love to be able to display the upcoming events for the week (or a maximum of one row of upcoming events) on my website homepage and then have all the events display on the What’s on page. ---

I would like to use one events calendar with two different widgets, and have successfully set this up with the “how to dynamically change the event calendar layout” tutorial. However, is there a way to have different filter settings for the two widgets? IE on the carousel of my events, it just needs to show the upcoming 5 events and not have any filter buttons. However, on the main events page, it needs to have the filter buttons so users can filter events by date, location, type, etc. If I add the filters to one, it adds it to the other - super annoying. Is there a way to fix this? ---

I have a similar thing where I have a whole page devoted to events, then the homepage uses a slider using the same calendar, just a different snippet. However, for sidebars in some parts of the site, the code tries to show all results (over 100) and this is too much, as the sidebar exceeds the page content. It is a bit of a workaround, but, for a bit of mild inconvenience, I duplicate the event calendar and change the settings to show 6 upcoming events and have this as the sidebar variant. I do then have to delete, duplicate and redo the code - but it keep the site looking updated, so I am broadly happy. I would prefer code snippet that allowed some control of variants from one calendar, though, but this will do. ---

We use a Calendar layout and a List layout on our website. We do not use separate widgets for these, because we need the same events represented on both layouts. While we have figured out a color pattern that works alright for both layouts, it would be better if we could choose colors specific to each layout. ---

Any update on this? This seems like a baseline feature to have a page with all of your events and then other pages with segments (tags, filters, etc.) If I have 100 events and 25 in 4 categories, 25 is way too many to display on a sub-page ---

Hi there, @Matthew7 👋 Unfortunately, we don’t have any news on this request for now. If anything changes, we’ll post an update in this thread. As for your use case, you’d like to display the widget with different pre-selected filters depending on the page, right? If so, we’ve got a simple solution: [How to make certain Event Calendar filter selected by default](https://community.elfsight.com/t/how-to-make-certain-event-calendar-filter-selected-by-default/44116) Check it out and let me know if it worked for you 🙂 ---

Hi Max, thanks for the response. Yes I already use the filtering on other pages - but the issue is that if there are 25 events, that’s too many to display on the page, and having X number of cards on other pages would be helpful because we have to have a main calendar with ALL the events (which is well over 100), but for the team pages, even if there is 10, that’s too many to show in one space as it pushes down the rest of their content. ---
