Use one widget with different settings and events displayed on multiple pages

I would love to be able to do a similar thing on our website: events page full calendar; home page FEATURED events. Would LOVE to have the homepage’s featured events have a different style than the regular events.
How I see it: when I am adding or editing events in my calendar on elfsight, I would have a checkbox ( x featured event) that I only check for a few events that I want featured. I would check and uncheck them as needed for what needs to be featured at different times. And then I put another widget of the same data on the homepage, and it displays only the featured events.
Perhaps I can make do by duplicating our events widget and deleting all the non-featured events. But that would get old doing that every month or so.
Or, in the full calendar widget/data, if it had the checkbox for “featured”: export only the data of featured events to create a new widget. Or better, update the “featured” widget (export “featured” and import them to the homepage’s featured widget, so I don’t have to recreate/restyle it every time?
Other ways to do this??

Hi there, @Lynn_Cricket_Woodwar :wave:

I guess we have a workaround for your case! You can assign the same event type (for example, “featured”) to these events and use the pre-selected filters option.

This way, you’ll be able to show all events on the events page and on the homepage display only featured events with the pre-selected Event Type “Featured” filter.

Regarding the different styles, if you mean different layouts, we also have a solution -How to dynamically change the Event Calendar layout

Check it out and let me know if it worked for you :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks so much for getting back to me Max.
I’m already using event type (for music, youth programs, dance, theater, etc), and I can only assign one event type. Is there another way?

Unfortunately, it’s impossible to pre-select several event types, but we have this idea on the Wishlist. Feel free to upvote it here - Add multiple attributes for one filter (pre-selected filters option)
