You can now filter events by tags! The Tag filter gives your website visitors more flexibility and precision when searching events by specific topic or category:
Add multiple attributes for one pre-selected filter
Our Event Calendar app lets you select certain filter by default. Previously, only one filter option could be pre-selected, but now you can choose multiple options for a single filter, such as different event types, all at once.
Moreover, You can now also pre-select tags and search queries using these parameters:
Assign multiple event types/venues/hosts to one event
You asked, and we listened! Now, for any event, you can assign as many Event Types, Locations, or Hosts as you needâall at once. This flexibility gives you more control over event management:
With the new search bar, you can quickly locate events by name or filter criteria, making it faster and more efficient to find exactly what youâre looking for.
You can enable it on the Filters tab of your widgetâs settings:
I have been requesting many of these changes since I started using elfsight. Much needed! These are game
changers my friend! Only other request I would add is the ability to name the title for the event menu.
Currently it is hard coded and titled as âEvent Typeâ. I can see that many, like myself would want to change this
title to denote the specific events we inform about or market.
For example, since I use my to list running events or races I would love to rename that header field âRace Distancesâ
or âRunning Eventsâ.
You guys add the ability to do that and this is a near perfect product.
Guys, thereâs a problem with this update. When I make a filter for a specific franchise and start editing the calendar, the filter is RESET!!! There was no such thing before the update: then you could see the list with a filter and edit events. Now you canât do that (( Iâm attaching the video.
We are so happy that this update brought you the features you needed! Thanks a ton for the feedback
Regarding the filter names, glad to say that you can easily edit them right in the widgetâs settings. For this, you should go to the Edit Texts section on the Settings tab and replace the default filter names with the custom ones
Iâve consulted with the devs, and theyâve confirmed that itâs a correct behavior. The thing is that once you edit the event, the whole calendar is updated, thatâs why the filters are reset.
Please let me know if this explains things or if you have any further questions
Please let me explain the reasoning behind this change.
Previously, if you applied a filter for a specific event type, then changed, for example, the event type of a particular event, the change wouldnât show up in the calendar. This could be confusing for users. To avoid this, if the new event type no longer matches the chosen filter, we decided to still display it, even though it might seem a bit inconsistent.
I hope that clears things up!
However, I completely get your perspective, and youâre welcome to add it to the Wishlist. If more users support this opinion, weâll try to consider it in the future
