An awesome feature for this program would be the ability to see only the categories you want.

For example, if you have hundreds of events listed on your calendar for the month, in several different categories, some users may not want to see the events in categories that they are not interested in.

If there was a checkbox beside each category name at the bottom, and by default they were already checked, and a user could un-check them to not display a certain category that would be great.

I can see my website having 5-10 events on one day, which can be confusing when viewing the monthly view, filtering out the ones you don't care about would make the end user experience much better.

I would also love something like this.  It would be good for school sites, so students could choose between the lunch menu, sports schedule, and the actual school calendar.  It would be good for many other sites also, but I was just looking for a calendar for a school site, so I was looking for this feature.

Maybe you can choose a default calendar, and thats the one that's displayed.  It could be a category one or the one with every event on it.  Then you can have the categories that you have on the bottom, but instead of clicking them and it brings you to a list of events, it takes you to an entirely different calendar with only those events in the category displayed.

Is there not already a feature that provides a similar capability?  When you view the full calendar, one of the options is a category view, which will list all the categories.  Then, you click on the category in which you are interested and it presents all the events for that category. 

Are you asking for this feature because you are not aware of the one that is there?  Or, are you asking for the existing capability to be implemented on the monthly, weekly and daily calendar views?

It would be nice to have the option to show all catagories at the same time (so you can show the events for the entire year) then use a dropdown or something to "filter" the events.

I think the OP's idea of having a checkbox next to each category name in each view other then category view would be very beneficial.

This would allow users who dont need to see all the listed categories to have a clean and uncluttered view of the calendar.

Is there a way us users can see what feature requests are accepted as being included in future releases of JCal Pro, with maybe a priority assigned to each feature request?

Kind Regards,
Danny

THIS WORKED FOR ME!!!!  Edit the file functions.inc.php found in the siteroot\components\jcal_pro\include.  On or around line 761 look for '&extmode=cat&cat_id='.  Change the extmode=cat to extemode=cal and VIOLA!  I had made a similar change to jcalpro.php, but it had no effect and so I don't believe it's worth mentioning.  Post back here if you got yours to work.  I have several other sites using jcal, and I will make this ONE modification to verify the fix.  I thought it was worth posting NOW since there are a lot of us that needed this function.  Just download and edit the file first and then rename the file on the server, then upload your edited version back to its normal location.  JUST CYA.

Hi,
I have already added categories filter by adding (combobox to set catid in day, week,month, list view) some code in jcalpro 1.5...
All code to add this filter is not in Template due to partial template implantation.

Are you always interested ?

Thanks +
