Squarespace Event & Calendar Filter

What Squarespace Event and Calendar Filter is

Squarespace Event and Calendar Filter is a plugin from SQS Mods that replaces the plain chronological list on a Squarespace 7.1 Events page with a filterable, card based calendar. It is installed as code generated by their configurator, with no CSS to write. This page is written from the SQS Mods product page and their live demo.

What it does

Visitors can narrow events by date range, location, category and tag, toggle between upcoming and past events, and see results as a one column timeline or a two or three column grid of cards that collapses sensibly on tablet and mobile. With native styles enabled the plugin reads your primary button colour, text colour and border radius from Squarespace Site Styles, or you set them manually, and there are separate controls for card and UI radius, an image overlay to keep titles legible over photography, and a swap option that moves the date into a pill on the hero image. Nine visibility toggles let you hide any element you do not need (the upcoming and past switch, event count, reset button, each filter and the badges), you can set a custom order for categories and tags, and the date picker supports day first or month first formats for UK and US audiences.

Who it suits

Venues, studios and gyms with weekly classes, churches and community organisations, festivals with a full programme, and any Squarespace 7.1 site whose events run across several locations or types. If visitors regularly ask what is on near them next month, this answers it on the page.

One honest caveat

The filter is only as useful as your event data. It needs categories, tags and locations filled in consistently on every event, and a calendar with two events does not need filtering at all. It works on Squarespace 7.1 Events pages only, not on blog or summary blocks, and because it is custom code it needs a plan with code injection. Test it against your busiest month before relying on it.

Setup

SQS Mods supply a configurator that builds the code from your chosen layout and filter options. You paste the result into the Events page header code injection following their guide, which requires a Business (now Core) plan or higher. It is a one-off purchase and removing the code returns the Events page to Squarespace's default list with your events untouched.
