URL parameters

Select URL parameter

The select parameter is an optional parameter that can be:

  • Included in the url argument in the $Trumba.addSpud() method.
  • Appended to the trumbaEmbed parameter in a URL-encoded query string.

I'd like to see a complete list of URL parameters.

Application

Controls how event actions options are presented to calendar visitors in main calendar spuds and specifies whether or not visitors can take event actions on more than one event at a time.

What are event actions?

Tips

  • The following main calendar views do not support the select parameter and the parameter will be ignored: Photo Events, News, Linear Grid, List by Month, and Maps.
  • The default setting for some calendar views, such as the Labeled List and Detail List views, is to include event action links at the bottom of each event. For views with these settings, the most appropriate value for the select parameter is none.

    Event in Detail List view with that include event action links

  • Unless you choose to hide them, event action links are also available in event detail views.

Values

  • single

    Allows single-event selection only. An Event Action icon (Single-select event action icon) is associated with each event on the calendar. Clicking the icon opens the event actions window.

    Visitors click an event action icon beside an event of interest

  • multi or multiple

    Allows multiple-event selection. Check boxes appear to the left of each event title. Event action buttons and a drop-down list appear at the top of the calendar. After selecting one or more events, clicking a button or selecting an option from the list opens the event actions window.

    Event action check boxes and selection buttons

    Visitors select check boxes and then click a button or choose an option from the list

  • none

    Hides all event action links in main calendar view. Depending upon your event detail view settings, event actions will still be available in event detail views.

    Single-select event action icons beside event titles

    To access event actions, visitors click an event title to open an event detail view

    How do I customize event detail views?

Works with

  • Main calendar spud

Examples

url argument, $Trumba.addSpud() method

Sets the calendar view to Detail List - Title (which, by default, includes event action links in each event) and hides event action icons, check boxes, buttons, and lists in the main calendar view.

<script type="text/javascript">
$Trumba.addSpud(
{ webName: "calendarname",
  spudType: "main",
  url: {template: "detaillist", select: "none"}
});
</script>

URL-encoded query string

Sets the calendar view to Classic Table and adds a single-select event action icon to each event.

Tip %3D is the URL-encoded equals sign (=). %26 is the URL-encoded ampersand.
