    {{ calendars }}

    Contains multiple calendars.

    Properties
    Name Type Description
    object_type string Will always be calendars
    is_valid boolean True if this contains at least one published calendar
    output string The default output that the calendars will produce when it is output directly to the template - using the "output_in_list" property of each calendar in the items list
    prepended list List containing any prepended calendars.
    fetched list List containing all of the calendars that were fetched from the database (as opposed to prepended or appended).
    appended list List containing any appended calendars.
    appended_unique list List containing any appended calendars excluding any calendars that are in either the list of prepended or fetched calendars.
    items list List containing all of the combined calendars from the prepended, fetched, and appended lists. If unique is true, this list will not contain any duplicates. If max_size is set, this list will not contain more than the number of calendars specified.
    size integer The total number of calendars in the items list, including prepended, fetched, and appended lists, and respecting the unique and max_size properties.
    max_size integer If set, this is the maximum number of items that will be returned in the items list and the maximum number of items that will be included when this calendars object is enumerated as a list. When not set, this value will be 0.
    unique boolean When true, the items list will not contain any duplicates. Only the first instance of each calendar will be included.
    limit integer The maximum number of items that were allowed to be in the list of fetched calendars. May be 0 in some cases (such as when when there are no fetched calendars.
    start integer The 1-based index of the first item in the list of fetched calendars.
    page integer The 1-based index of the paginated results returned in the list of fetched calendars, which is calculated from the start and limit parameters. Useful for paginated results.
    total_count integer The 1-based index of the first item in the list of fetched calendars
    total_pages integer If any items were fetched from the database, total_pages will contain the number of paginated result pages in the database for the provided arguments. This may also be calculated using the total_count and limit properties.

    {% calendar %}

    {% calendar output_to_template? [[var, set, or assign]? variable]? output_to_template? = value %}
    Parameters
    output_to_template optionalflag
    If included the {% calendar %} will be output directly to the template.
    var, set, or assign optionalkeyword
    Optional. Specify either "var", "set" or "assign" to change which scope this {% calendar %} is stored on. "var" is the default behavior.
    variable_name optionalvariable
    Specify a variable name in order to save this calendar to a variable. If not specified, it will be output to the template instead.
    value requiredexpression
    Should evaluate to an object of type calendar, or the name or guid of one. May use liquid filters.

    Fetches a single {{ calendar }}.

    {% calendars %}

    {% calendars output_to_template? [[var, set, or assign]? variable]? output_to_template? = arguments %}
    Parameters
    output_to_template optionalflag
    If included the {% calendars %} will be output directly to the template.
    var, set, or assign optionalkeyword
    Optional. Specify either "var", "set" or "assign" to change which scope this {% calendars %} is stored on. "var" is the default behavior.
    variable optionalvariable
    arguments requiredcollection
    Key:value pairs. May use the variable arguments syntax.

    Options

    prepend optionallist
    May be a single calendar, a list of calendars, or the name or guid of one calendar, to be included at the beginning of the calendars list.
    append optionallist
    May be a single calendar, a list of calendars, or the name or guid of one calendar, to be included at the end of the calendars list.
    exclude optionallist
    May be a single calendar, a list of calendars, or the name or guid of one calendar that should NOT be included in the fetched results. Has no effect on prepended or appended calendars.
    exclude_prepended optionalboolean
    True to specifically exclude all prepended calendars from the fetched results. If "unique:true" is specified this is the default behavior, although you may also specify "exclude_prepended:false" to allow any prepended items to be fetched along with other results anyway.
    exclude_appended optionalboolean
    True to specifically exclude all appended calendars from the fetched results. This is false by default - even if "unique:true" is specified - so that results are returned in the proper order.
    unique optionalboolean
    True to remove duplicates from each of the resulting lists (prepended, fetched, appended, and items), although there may be duplicates between the prepended, fetched, and appended lists. The "items" list will include objects in the order in which they appear - with prepended items first, then fetched items, then appended items.
    max_size optionalinteger
    The maximum number of items to be included in the "items" list. If there are any prepended or appended items, this will automatically lower the "limit" to only fetch as many calendars as needed. Note that this may also impact both the "page" and "total_pages" values in the resulting calendars. In order to use pagination with a list loaded using "max_size" use "start" instead of "page" and "limit".
    filter optionalvalue
    Only include calendars that match the given string filter
    folder optionalvalue
    May include multiple folders. Only include calendars with one of the given folders
    date_created_start optionalvalue
    Only include calendars with date_created greater than or equal to date_created_start. Remember that date_created will typically be the date that the calendar was first published.
    date_created_end optionalvalue
    Only include calendars with date_created less than or equal to date_created_end. Remember that date_created will typically be the date that the calendar was first published.
    has_url optionalboolean
    If true, only return calendars that have a URL. If false, only return calendars that do NOT have a URL.
    template optionalobject
    Only return calendars with one of these templates. May be a single template, a list of templates, or the name or guid of a template to filter the results by.
    include_in_search optionalboolean
    True or false to only return calendars whose include_in_search property matches the provided value.
    domain_name optionalobject
    Only return calendars from the given domain.
    start optionalinteger
    Set the 1-based index of the first calendar to fetch.
    page optionalinteger
    Used to automatically calculate the first calendar to fetch based on both the "limit" and the 1-based "page" value. Defaults to 1, but is ignored if "start" is set.
    limit optionalinteger
    The maximum number of calendars to fetch. Defaults to 10. Note that if "max_size" is defined, then "limit" may be automatically lowered even if specified separately.
    sort_by optionalstring
    Specify which property to sort the results by. Has no effect on prepended or appended calendars. By default, results will be sorted by relevance if there is a filter string and date_created desc (newest first) if not. Options include:
    • relevance: only applies when there is a filter string. When sorting by relevance sort_direction is ignored.
    • date_created: the date each calendar was first published. Unpublishing and republishing one resets date_created to the current date.
    • random: results will be returned in a random order, which prevents the page from being fast-cached. Setting cache_random:true overrides this behavior and allows the page to be fast-cached anyway.
    • name
    • title
    • url
    • browser_title
    sort_direction optionalstring
    asc or desc.
    cache_random optionalboolean
    True to allow the results to be cached when sort_by is "random".

    Fetches a list of {{ calendars }}.
