Is there a way to sort by tags on an event in addition to the category and venue? I have two different types of event descriptors, and I’m hoping to keep them separate for ease of use.
Also, hoping there is a way to change the text on the calendar from “Click to select a category” to “click to select [custom text here]” and on the dropdown changing “Select a category” to “Select a [custom text here]”.

Hi Matthew, the events calendar has filter options for event categories and event venues.
Have you considered created two sets of categories — one for each event descriptor?
On your section question, the messaging/verbiage can be changed but it won’t be dynamic.
The statement above may be confusing so here is an example of what is available:
Click to select a category –> Select a course type
or
Click to select a category –> Filter by category

Re: Tags v Categories, here’s the problem. I have several different “Type X” categories, and several different “Type Y” categories. An event may be both type x and type y, but I want them to be color coded on the calendar by their type x category. Since you cannot rank importance of categories, the system may default to showing them by their type y color (default scheme) which makes the calendar less visually appealing and harder to navigate. Any ideas on how I might resolve?
On the latter part, how would I accomplish that?

Hi Matthew,
What should the new messaging be for the dropdown field?

“Filter by Council” would be great.
But I’d also like to be able to have “Filter by Course Type” for that secondary sort. See what I mean? They can’t be in the same category, as users need to be able to sort two different ways.

Hi,
You can’t currently have two of those dropdown menus. Here is one for your first example:
function ee_adjust_category_dropdown_messaging( $translated, $original, $domain ) {
// This is an array of original strings
// and what they should be replaced with
$strings = array(
'Click to select a category' => 'Filter by Council',
);
// See if the current string is in the $strings array
// If so, replace its translation
if ( isset( $strings[$original] ) ) {
// This accomplishes the same thing as __()
// but without running it through the filter again
$translations = get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
$translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );
}
return $translated;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'ee_adjust_category_dropdown_messaging', 10, 3 );
You can copy it into your child theme’s functions.php or in a site specific plugin.

Is there any way to hide the venues in that case?

Hello Matthew,
You can inspect any element on a page using a free tool like Chrome Developer Tools (available with Google Chrome) or Firebug (available as a web browser extension).
This will show you the CSS that is handling the styling including the file and line number. Then you can add new styling to your child theme’s stylesheet or via a plugin that adds an additional stylesheet to your WordPress site such as My Custom CSS or Reaktiv CSS Builder.
Try this CSS to hide the venues dropdown menu:
select#ee-venue-submit.submit-this.ee-venue-select {display:none;}
Then refresh the page to see the changes.
