Under the Status Filters drop down, there is an unwanted "Other" appears. I cannot find a way to remove it.
How do I get rid of it ?
Thank you

Hi MF,
Hope you are doing well! The "Other" status filter actually cannot be disabled, as it is the "catch-all" for any events with a Status that does not match one of your Status filters. I hope this helps, but keep me posted with any other questions. All the best, Dan Dan Wheelon

This is going to be a big issue for us. We have more than 40,000 events in the calendar right now . With a few thousands in any given month. We only want to display a hundred or so per month based on the pre-filtered status ( pending and in-progress).
I do not want users to click Others as this will be overwhelming. To make matter worst, most users are scattered in remote villages all over Vietnam, using very slow internet connection. How about this. Can I do a mod such that when user click Others, no action is taken ? |

Makes sense. And while you can't remove "other" you can change effect it has =) Basically, "other" includes all the events in your data set that don't have one of the other statuses. The answer is to restrict what's available to the calendar under the hood: so "other" doesn't have as many items to bring up.
To do this, add a hard-coded filter so that events you don't want to see aren't available to the calendar at all. This is like the pre-filtering you've already done but is a filter the users can't change. You can learn how to do this in "Adding a hard-coded filter" under "Using Filters" here: http://www.seedcode.com/pmwiki/index.ph ... eeMyEvents (I originally thought you could get at this by adjusting the status values of your "other" events, but the hard-coded filter is the better way.)
