The preview provided on the publish function also does the same - I guess this a 'feature' of the calendar, but would like to find a way of working round it. |

!Apologies! - I had this post open and never clicked Reply :( When localendar establishes a connection with a browser and serves a calendar to the user, it basically creates a "session id" which is sort of like a "customer #" that identifies the person it's talking to. When a filtered calendar view is sent to a user, localendar will "remember" for customer #X, only show these particular categories when they move between views. In the case of your site, you are showing multiple views of the calendar with different filter criteria. Even though they are in different iFrames, from localendar's perspective, they are all coming from the same browser (and hence get the same 'customer #') This can create some confusion. For example, first the user might request a calendar filtered to category 100, so localendar is thinking 'OK - always show that user only that category'. A few seconds later localendar is asked to display the same calendar, but category 102, so now localendar is thinking 'OK - I guess they only want to see *that* category now'. If the user visits another page that doesn't have any filter, localendar will think 'OK - always show all the categories' I *think* the issue you are having is because you have multiple views of the calendar in multiple iframes/pages. What about turning on the option to show the category legend in the footer of the calendar to let visitors filter events dynamically (on the client-side?) ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Sorry about the delay - busy on other things! I understand your thoughts about multiple views on the same site, but the calendar seems to show the same behaviour even when viewed in the preview window in the Publish section on the localendar site, so the issue doesn't seem to be specific to my site. It also does the same even if I don't move pages on my site to expose the different iframes. Very odd, but would be nice to be able to work around the issue. |

There shouldn't be an issue for a single calendar (especially from the preview). Let me work up a live example and see if I can duplicate your issue. ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |
