Can I use Low Search for filtering Low Events by URI

Joan Lindhout 7 Feb 2013 15:30 question, complete

I need a bit more information before I'll buy Low Search for my project.

I'm already using Low Events for displaying entries from my channel 'Exhibitions'.
I used the calendar tag to get exhibitions on a certain date.
Cool, but I want more filtering. When I have the events by date, I want to filter those entries by category (exhibition/event), by city and then by venue. City and venue are playa fields.

So the uri could be domain.com/calendar/2013-02-07/events/rotterdam/kunsthal

That would only show the low events on February 7th in the category events, in Rotterdam and in de Kunsthal.

Is this possible to set up with Low Search?

   Except for the URI structure, yes, you can.
   
   Low Search will use an encoded URI segment to pass on search parameters. In your case, those would be:
   
   

   low_events_date="2013-02-07" 
    category="1" the category ID for events 
    child:your_city_field="2" the entry ID for rotterdam 
    child:your_venue_field="3"  the entry ID for kunsthal

   
   
   You can use the Form tag in combination with channel:entries and channel:categories tags to generate the form with drop downs or checkboxes etc.

   Just a heads up that I implemented Low Search and works like a charm!
