Zwift HQ add hidden tags to all events. Now you can use these tags for filters and as another way to create custom pages from our event list.

Zwift event tag pages

You can see a page with only events that have a specific Zwift event tag. For that you should use the URL in the format

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/ztag/<Zwift tag>

Example:

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/ztag/zwiftinsider

will show you only events with the (hidden) Zwift event tag ‘zwiftinsider’.

Zwift event tag filters

You can also filter your event list using the Zwift event tags in from the zTags tab:

If you find any problems with the event page you can use the comment section below to report them.

Here are three more ways to create custom event pages. You can get custom pages for series, events, and clubs.

Event series pages

All of the series listed in the ‘Series’ tab can be used in the URL link to see a series specific page.

A series shortname is generated automatically from a series name by removing all underscores, spaces, and periods, leaving just letters and digits.

The shortname can be used to see a series specific page at https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/series/<shortname>

Examples:

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/series/PreprandialCrits

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/FastFriday

Make your own series

Zwift HQ mark some events as part of a series but for increased series visibility you can make your event part of a series with a tag like this if you’re an event organizer:

[series:<seriesname>]

where <seriesname> may contain letters, digits, underscore (“_”), spaces, and period (“.”)

Example:

[series:ZwiftHacks Ride Series #1]

The tag must be somewhere in the event description.

The series shortname will be generated automatically from seriesname by removing all underscores, spaces, and periods, leaving just letters and digits.

Example:

‘ZwiftHacks Ride Series #1’ will have the shortname ‘ZwiftHacksRideSeries1’.

Hashtag pages

You can see a page with only events that have a specific hashtag in the description.

Example:

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/tag/strongertogether

will show you only events with the hashtag #strongertogether in their description.

Club pages

You can get a page with only events belonging to a specific club. Use the club shortname in the URL. Club shortnames are shown in the event details, e.g. WSR for the club World Social Riders:

Example:

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/club/dbr

are all the events arranged by the club [DBR] Danish Bike Riders (shortname ‘DBR’).

If you find any problems with the event page you can use the comment section below to report them.

You could already share filters and selections from the event page. Now you can make custom event pages and control which events the page contains before applying the filters.

Create a custom event page with only your event series? You can link to a page with only your event in the list.

Want to make the event page load faster, skipping events you never want to ride anyway? Right now more than 5.000 events are loaded into the public event calendar. You can link to a custom event page, where you limit the number of events. That custom event page will load much faster.

Examples:

A single page – which loads quite fast – with only the Zwift Run Festival events:

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/?nosave&days=9999&filter=&include=zwift run festival

Do not load any Zwift Run Festival, Tour de Zwift, Festive 500, or TDZ Run events:

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/?exclude=tour de zwift;zwift run festival;festive 500;tdz run

Below are the parameters you can use.

Prefiltering (limit loaded events)

The parameter include can be used to include only events with event name containing one of the texts in the semicolon separated value list:

include=<text>[;<text>]*

Example:

include=Tiny Race

The parameter exclude can be used to prune events (those with names containing any of the values) from the list:

exclude=<text>[;<text>]*

Example:

exclude=za tri 2022;zrl

The parameter values are case-insensitive.

include and exclude can be used together. include is applied first to get just the events matching the include list, then exclude is applied to remove those events matching the exclude list.

Apply no event filters

To make sure that no user set filters are applied you can use the filter parameter in your URL.

filter=

Opens the page without any active filters.

Limit days per page

days=<1|2|3|7|9999>

You can control the number of days per page with the days parameter. I recommend using it together with the nosave parameter if you publish links to the event page where you select number of days to be shown.

Do not ruin user saved settings and filters

nosave

Unless you use the nosave paramter, values for days, filter etc. you put in the URL will overwrite user set preferences for number of days per page, the saved filters, and other settings stored in local storage of the browser. Using nosave in your URL is polite and makes sure that user preferences will still be intact when they navigate to the ‘normal’ event page.

If you find any problems with these parameters you can use the comment section below to report them.

Tags

If events have a #tag in their description, you can now easily load a page with just those events:

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/tag/<tag>.

The benefit is that it is fast – much, much fasterthan loading a full event list with perhaps up to 4.000 events in the browser.

As an example, here is a direct link to events tagged with #wsr.

The ‘#Tags’ tab has also been improved. You can now sort the list of tags, both alphabetically and by number of occurrences.

Event series

As an event owner you can make your event part of a series with a tag like this:

[series:<seriesname>]

where <seriesname> may contain letters, digits, underscore (“_”), spaces, and period (“.”)

The tag must be added to the description of the event.

An series shortname will be generated automatically from seriesname by removing all underscores, spaces, and periods, leaving just letters and digits.

Example:

‘ZwiftHacks Demo Events #1’ will have the shortname ‘ZwiftDemoEvents1’.

The shortname can be used to see a series specific page at

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/series/<shortname>

Example:

A direct link to the ‘ZwiftHacks Demo Events #1’ series page

All the series defined like this also appear in the ‘Series’ tab.

If you find any problems with the event page you can use the comment section below to report them.

Some of the filter options were hard to find before. With these changes they should be easier to access.

You may notice different layout and styling changes, too. They should only be minor, however.

If you find any problems with the page you can use the comment section below to report them.

Many events is a good thing. But – many events can also be a bad thing for the event list.

Currently, Zwift has loaded the calendar with about 7.000 events, and trying to show all that in a single page will cause problems on some devices.

To help fix that problem the default is now to show 3 days per page. You can still choose to override this setting by clicking the button “See 1 / 2 / 3 / 7 / all days”.

If it is impossible for you to load the event list so you can change your preference, try one of these direct links:

Show 1 day: https://zwifthacks.com/app/events?days=1

Show 2 days: https://zwifthacks.com/app/events?days=2

Show 3 days: https://zwifthacks.com/app/events?days=3

Show 7 days: https://zwifthacks.com/app/events?days=7

Show all days: https://zwifthacks.com/app/events?days=9999

https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/?key=60a6c1cb075ac

The new Makuri Islands world is supported by all of these ZwiftHacks tools:

• Events
• Routes
• zwift-preferences
• ZwiftPref

An update for ZwiftMap may still be needed but it will be done server-side and does not require that you download anything. It will follow soon.

This week the event list was improved in a couple of ways:

• Faster load times with paging
• See number of slots in TT events

Paging

The most important important is that it now is configurable if you want to see events from one, two, three, or all days per page. This way you can choose to load fewer days, reducing the time it takes to load the page.

If you want the old behaviour, just select ‘all’ (which is the default).

Your choice is stored in the local storage of your browser so it is remembered between visits to the page. You can also choose to use different settings in different browsers on different devices.

Time Trial info

For the time trial riders it has become easier to see how many slots a TT has in total:

You can now see number of signed up riders as well as the number of slots in total per group.

• A new ‘Steering not allowed’ tag
• Canned searches for Steering and No steering races

Events: A new ‘Steering not allowed’ tag

A new ‘Steering not allowed’ filter was added in the ZwiftHacks event list.

You find ‘Steering not allowed’ in the section ‘Rules’:

Events: Canned searches for Steering and No steering races

The existing canned searches for races with and without steering now work fully as intended (after the new ‘Steering not allowed’ filter was implemented).
