Hi Jon -
Is there an easy way (programatically) to remove event types from the calendar feature? This is kind of like a permanent filter.
My group would like to introduce the calendar, but initially have only global events. So, I don't need the filters, and I don't want users to even know there are other types of events (user, group, course).
Can you steer me to the right place?

function calendar_session_vars() {
global $SESSION, $USER;
if(!isset($SESSION->cal_course_referer)) {
$SESSION->cal_course_referer = 0;
}
if(!isset($SESSION->cal_show_global)) {
$SESSION->cal_show_global = true;
}
if(!isset($SESSION->cal_show_groups)) {
$SESSION->cal_show_groups = true;
}
if(!isset($SESSION->cal_show_course)) {
$SESSION->cal_show_course = true;
}
if(!isset($SESSION->cal_show_user)) {
$SESSION->cal_show_user = $USER->id;
}
}
What you want to do is change the last three var assignments and set them to false. Of course, you can also remove the isset() tests to be sure that they will never change from false. The rest of the calendar will think that you have filtered out these kinds of events, so you 're set.Thanks Jon -
I guess I then need to go into all the display routines to hide the on-screen filter selections, and the event type selectors too?
I'll dig.

Think I found everything...
I commented out the filter table output in 'calendar_filter_controls' in 'lib.php' and in 'calendar_show_month_detailed' in 'view.php', to get rid of the filter controls.
In 'event.php', I forced '$_REQUEST['type']' to always be 'site'. That bypassed the select event screen.
Make sense?

Yes, that should be just about everything. I 'll make a note to see if it's possible to move the filters from calendar_show_month_detailed() to calendar_filter_controls() so they will all be in one place.
And of course the $_REQUEST['type'] thing is pretty straightforward.
I kinda liked the fact that it was so easy to hack the code and make the changes you wanted. It sort of confirms that I met my design goals, up to a point at least. Not to mention the warm fuzzy feeling inside!
