REX Toolbox

↩ Back to Events

Bookmarks tool​

You can use this page to import and export your bookmarks. The bookmarks are in a common format, so you can move them between devices and browsers. For example, you could save events to your bookmarks on your laptop and move them to your phone, or vice versa with this tool.

Be careful!

It might be possible to break the REX events viewer with importing some bad data. If you find that the events page isn't working, you can import [] to clear your bookmarks.

The REX Events Page supports custom filter links! Use the following URL parameters below to construct links to the events page that automatically filter:

  • tag: Sets tag filter
  • dorm: Sets dorm filter
    • group: Sets group filter (only works if dorm is set)
  • bookmarks_only: Set to true or false to change the "⭐️ Only" checkbox
  • time_filter: Set to all for all events, ongoing for events happening now, not_ended for events that are happening now or in the future, and upcoming for upcoming events.
  • q: Sets search string
  • relative_time: Set to true or false to enable or disable relative times on the event cards

The following is an example using all the possible filter values:
