Description
Hi,
I am building a site for a multi-group organisation, each group is in a different geographic area (we have 45+ locations) The event link on the main navigation menu shows all the events, it would be great if the user could then filter the events by selecting one or more og groups to which the event is targeted (the audience option in the create event). Currently it is non-intuitive that some aspects can be filtered from here but to see targeted events they must go into each of the groups (many of them are geographically close) so the user must browse to lots of different og groups and view the og event calendar.
In essence I am asking for a multi-select filter box in the event module to filter by audience.
thanks for your time
Richard

Ditto. I am willing to co-sponsor the development of such feature is there was at least one more co-sponsor.

You should use Views for this.

Hi,
With views you can add filters. For this case the OG: Post in specified groups (by name) is kinda suitable. But you need to put text.
Filter for posts in specified organic groups. Value should be a one or more group names (partial name is supported), separated by commas or pluses. Like taxonomy, pluses indicate that the post must appear in one of the specified groups, whereas commas indicate that the post must appear in every specified group. The page context is not be set the the first specified group (unfortunately, you must use OG: Post in specified group (by number) for that).This can be use not just for events but for any content type that are og-related content.
Currently there's not filter that offer puldown list option, which I am seeking for.
