I want to be able to create a generic Events widget that I can drop in the body of news stories that will automatically show events with titles that match the headline of the story it is dropped on. I tried adding a filter arg like this…
<widget type="events">
<arg id="filter" name="title" action="matches"><xphp var="details_headline"/></arg>
</widget>
But that didn’t work. Is there a way to get this to work?
This worked for me when I tested it on dev, but I had to add the event widget with the filter condition in the news details template file via SFTP. It didn’t work when I added it as a widget directly within a story body on the CMS.
It also did partial title matches when I used matches as the filter action, but it worked more exactly for both story and event title when I used action=“equals” for the filter.
Thanks for checking Sudeshna. I thought I had done this sort of thing before, but I think I did it by putting the widget in the details template, like you said. In this case I want to be able to put the widget in the story body, and that is what isn’t working.
