I've created a category selection field in the admin interface (I'm using CalendarScript 3.1). I want to exclude all entries belonging to one of the categories on the menu from appearing in a certain template.

TubaDave's filter isn't really what I need, because it should be automatic, not a user-selected omission.

Is there a line of code I can put in the template file that will keep events tagged "category_C" from appearing in the calendar?

Thanks,
Todd

It should be possible to hard code TubaDave's mod into the template rather than allowing users to select which events to see.

But if you want to do it the hard way, find each occurance of
<%FOREACH EVENT%>
in the default.html template and add this line after it

<% next if ( $EVENT->{'details'}->{'Field_Name'} eq "category_C" ); %>

Where Field_Name is the name of the field that will contain the value "category_C".

PS. It may not hide them from a search's results though.

Thank you, Dan. That works beautifully!

How you would not display the date for the exclude events
code below. It does remove the event, but not the date for the event.

code:

<DL>
<%FOREACH EVENTLIST%>
   <%IF EVENTS EXIST%>
   <%$total_events++;%>
   <DT><%=$DAY->{dayname}%>, <%=$DAY->{monthname}%> <%=$DAY->{dd}%>   <DD>
      <%FOREACH EVENT%>
            <% next if ( $EVENT->{'details'}->{'title'} eq "Pilates" ); %>

I tried inserting the <% next if ( $EVENT->{'details'}->{'title'} eq "Pilates" ); %>
after the <%FOREACH EVENTLIST%> and after <%IF EVENTS EXIST%> and after <%$total_events++;%>

Alternatively..if there was a way to NOT display recurring events in the above code, then I would use that instead.

Thanks {again}

** if there was a way to NOT display recurring events in the above code **

I think you can make it skip the printing of recurring events by adding the following line right before or after your line:

<% next if ( $EVENT->{'details'}->{'title'} eq "Pilates" ); %>

Add this line:

<% next if ( $EVENT->{'schedule'}->{'recurrence_type'} ); %>
