Link from Event (in events list) to Event Detail page

Hello everybody! I have never used Contao before and need your help please.
I need to set up category filters for events.

I found and installed Contao Official Demo Template and [mae_event_categories] extension for tests.
I’ve created categories and attached each event to at least one category.
On Events page on top I have Events Filter (by categories) and under the filter the Events List.

The problem is that clicking on event title or “Read More” I get redirected to the Home Page instead of Event Details.
In Event settings -> Redirect Target I have set “Use Default” – the same as in News settings, where clicking on news title I get redirected correctly, to the news details.
If I set Redirect Target-> Article -> Event Detail the events in the list don’t have links in title and no “Read More”, so it is impossible to get the Event Details page.
How is possible to fix this issue?

Did you set a "Redirect page" in the calendar settings?
Did you add an event reader front end module on the redirect page (event details page)?

Sorry, I don't understand what means to set a redirect page in calendar settings. I ca not find anywhere calendar settings.

I think, I found what you mean :)

In Events List settings I should select Event Reader Module - Event Detaiils

Now I see the event details page!

The only issue I see is with the categories filter. On the details page it doesn't keep the active category.

I just realized, I don't need the category filter on event details page at all.
This module was installed just for events list page. Is it possible to hide it on details page?

I don't know the extension in detail, but basically you can hide everything via display: none;

I what to hide it by display: "none" just on Event Details page.
In order to hide it is needed an ID or a Class for example on <body> or on another element before mod_mae_event_filter.
The Contao script generates the pages with exactly the same classes ad IDs.

For Events List page:

For Even Details page:

How can I select the for mod_mae_event_filter display:non on details page?
I tried to add an additional class to Details page in back end but I save it and it does not appear in the page code!!

But it should! The CSS class should appear among all other classes in your <body> element. Could this eventually be a cache problem?

No, it is not cache problem. The cache is OFF.
I have reloaded the page with CTRL+F5, and when I add such a class for event-reader block, it appears without any cache cleanings..

If you are unsure about this you can always switch over to the Contao online demo and test it there. And you will see that it works there like a charm.

I am working on Contao 3.5.40. The theme is created from zero, just empty pages and I have just one layout.
Everything works except adding class to THIS page.
I don't understand why it doesn't publish the new class..

When I add additional class on another project based on Contao 4..8 + Contao Official Demo theme + mod_mae_event_filter, it appears in <body> element.

Now I do training on my local computer but later we have to propose our solution to the client and I don't know what will happen on they theme. So, I want to be sure that it will work on they website. :)
They have Contao 3.5.38 and they own theme.

But here is NOT necessary to hide the filter. It is hidden on details page by default.

Did you modify the page template fe_*.html5 (do you have such a template in your templates/ folder)?

The CSS class gets added here: https://github.com/contao/core/blob/...page.html5#L29

No

Yes, it is called fe_page.html5

not in templates/ but in /system/modules/core/templates/frontend/

and it has this line:

Code:

<body id="top" class="{{ua::class}}<?php if ($this->class) echo ' ' . $this->class; ?>"<?php if ($this->onload): ?> onload="<?= $this->onload ?>"<?php endif; ?>>

Okay, no idea then. Anyway, it's not a general problem, because it works fine in the Contao Online Demo. The reason must be somewhere within your installation.

Well, now I've probably understood what the problem is. The event reader displays the event details on the same page as the event list. However, on your event details page, you can add an event reader front end module and let Contao show the event details on that subpage.

You are right. I deleted from Site Structure the Event Details page totally and when I click on one event in the list, the Details page opens anyway!
If I add a new class to the Events List page, it show up in <body> element of both, List Page and Event Details pages.
I am totally confused. The details page opens without creating this page.
I was adding the class to a details page which was not used by script!

Ok, understand that I should create again a separate page for Event Details and put on it an event reader module.
But how to make then to open the Event Details on this additional page?

I think that it opens on same page because I have set up in Themes > MyTheme > Event List Module > Event reader module the option "Event Details"

Now I must switch this option OFF and need something else to redirect to Details Page...?

Please check that you've set your event details page in the calendar settings.

Thank you very much!!
