Events: Filter & Sort by categories

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All, 

I am just starting out my squarespace journey after frustrations around our current website and slow replies from the guy who built it. We are a lawn bowls club in Sydney and offer a range of different events; live music, community, sporting, Food & Bev. 

I haven't developed all of the content but have all the imagery required. 

The default calendar view of events looks amazing, but while we build up our catalogue of events may make the club look a little light on content.

 

Can anyone give me some guidance on creating a page and functionality similar to this another local club has for their events - https://balgowlahrsl.com.au/whats-on/. I am happy to buy a plug in but as I am new to all the lingo searching for something that I can't describe well is presenting challenges LOL

 

Our site - https://apricots-tortoise-g6jy.squarespace.com/ 

 

Requirements

1. Needs to pull data from the native squarespace events engine

2. Work on mobile

 

Thanks in advance

Tony

#1. You can use Summary Block to pull events from Event Page

#2. You can use Plugin to create these fitter links

#3. You can let me know which filter links you want to add, I can do a quick guide on how to achieve this, then you can follow and do it easier.

#4. Do you need to make Overlay + Zoom image when hover event image?

@tuanphan Thanks so much! that helps me enormously. I had build out different event sections for each of our event types; 
 

  • Live Music
  • Community
  • Sporting
  • Weekly Events

It seems its better to have one place to enter all events and then split them out using filters as the summary block seems to be only able to summarise events from one place. Is my understanding correct here?

Questions

1. Recommended filter plugin?

2. Best way to make Overlay + Zoom image when hover event image? Is this a plug in or native? If so any help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers - Tony
