Prerequisites
- You have installed the Events Module
- You have installed the Authors Module
- You have added at least one Author as an Event Host
Introduction
This article explains:
- How to include the Browse by Host (Author) Option when including a Blog List
- Default Layout Examples
- How to give feedback to the User about their results e.g. in the screenshot "Events hosted by Regina Alexander"
Add "use_adv_search" parameter to include for Event List View
The "use_adv_search" parameter is needed to allow filtering from the URL to apply to your Event Items, this can be added to the include for Event List like so:
{%- include 'module', id: '12', layout: 'default', per_page: '20', show_pagination: 'true', sort_type: 'created_at', sort_order: 'desc', use_adv_search: 'true' -%}
To Include this Option
Include the following liquid to dynamically get a list of available Event Hosts for the User to select.
{%- include 'modules/siteglide_authors/get/get_authors', author_layout: 'design_system/1/author', author_layout_type: 'list', author_field: 'module_field_12_4' -%}
The author_field
will be module_field_12_4
if you are using Siteglide's Authors Module. The layouts are structured in the same way as Category Layouts in the previous section.
Default Layout Examples with Explanation
wrapper.liquid
<div class="row no-gutters">
<div class="col-12">
<h2>Authors</h2>
<ul>
{%- include 'modules/siteglide_system/get/get_items', item_layout: 'item' -%}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
item.liquid
<a class="authorAnchorSidebar" href="{{context.location.pathname}}?module_field_12_4={{this.id}}&author_name={{this.name | url_encode}}">
{% if this['Image'] -%}
<img src="{% if this['Image'] contains 'http' -%}{{this['Image']}}{% else -%}{{this['Image'] | asset_url}}{% endif -%}" alt="{{this['Image Alt']}}">
{% endif -%}
<li>{{this['name']}}</li>
</a>
To filter the Blog List View, you need a link to the Blog List View slug, followed by "?module_field_12_4={{this.id}}"
. Siteglide will be able to read the URL and filter the list.
User Feedback - Displaying the currently applied filter
To make it easier to give feedback to the User, you can optionally include the Host's name in the URL:
href="{{context.location.pathname}}?module_field_12_4={{this.id}}&host_name={{this.name | url_encode}}"
On the List view, you can then include the following liquid to read the URL and decode the Author name you are currently filtering by:
{% if context.params.module_field_12_4 %}
Events hosted by {{context.params.host_name | url_decode}}
{% endif %}
