I’m using the exp:weblog:calendar tag to display a calendar. I have a custom field called “enkel_leden_cal” (it’s a flag to say if it’s for members only) with PHP on input I set a var which I use to display search:enkel_leden_cal=”=Nee” when a user isn’t logged in. In the regular weblog display this works fine, with weblog:calendar it doesn’t:

{exp:weblog:calendar weblog="calendar" switch="calendarToday|calendarCell" show_expired="yes" show_future_entries="yes" search:enkel_leden_cal="=Nee"}

for testing purposes I’ve just skipped the php bit and put it in my template like this, but it doesn’t filter out member only events in my calendar, is it not possible to use the search attribute for this?

Hey, frenzal - I’ve moved this up from EECore: you have a license so you’re able to post in the forums for license-holders. =)

The weblog calendar tag does not have the search: parameter, so this won’t work for that tag.

A feature request would be the way to go for this particular need.

woops must have misread 😊

Is there any alternative solution you could think of to handle this issue, because I doubt this feature request would get handled right away (right?).

You would need a custom solution here, PHP and a Query, and possibly building your own calendar tag.  A custom plugin could probably handle this. Did you want me to move it to How To for some community input?

Sure, could be handy. The query probably won’t be the problem but I’m fairly new to EE so a nudge in the right direction where to look to make my own version of the calendar tag would be welcome.

Ok, moving this.  You can check out the development docs for how to build your own plugin. =)

I encountered the same problem, and discovered that if you add the following line of code to mod.weblog.php at approximately line 2423 the search parameter will work with the exp:weblog:calendar tag.

$this->fetch_custom_weblog_fields(); #THIS LINE IS SO THAT THE CALENDAR TAG CAN PARSE SEARCH PARAMETERS

it should appear just after the lines

if (! empty($TMPL->search_fields))
        {

Hope this helps somebody!!!
