An event on the website will show up in the list of news and along with relevant content. Events can be filtered by audience (Kids, Teens, Adults) on the main events list, and audience-specific events will appear at the bottom of the Kids and Teens pages, respectively.
Sample event content
The following are examples of event content:
Adding an event
To add an article to your site you must be logged in. Navigate using the black admin menu bar at the top of any page to Content > Add content > Article (at node/add/event).
Fields on event content
The Title field is the only required field for articles. The title will be displayed at the top of the page when it is viewed and will have semantic markup as Heading Level 1, which is important for search engines and screen readers.
The Date and Time field is for the actual date and time of the event. Event listings will display upcoming events only, so when a date has passed, the event will be archived. Events also display in chronological order, with the next event showing first.
The Location will display the event map on the event page.
The Registration field consists of Title element and a URL element. Both elements are optional. If the URL element is filled out, a link formatted like a button will appear in the events list and on the event page. If the title and the URL elements are both filled out, the button will contain the title and the link destination will be the URL. If only the URL element is filled out, the URL will appear as the link text on the button. If only the title element is filled out, only the title text will appear on the event page without any formatting. This might be useful for a message such as "Registration for this event is closed."
The Description field is where the information about the event will go. Many different formatting options are available, including adding images into the body content.
Please note that inserting an image of an event flyer instead of adding text into the description field will prevent the event from showing up in search results properly and it will make the event description inaccessible to screen readers.
You may also add a Main Image to your event.
The Audience field allow event content to be categorized for Adults, Teens, and Kids. Events marked for Teens and/or Kids will appear at the bottom of the landing pages for those sections of the website.
Remember to save!
Any content you create is temporary until you press the Save button at the bottom of the create content form.
You may also want to add content to the navigation menu or configure different publishing options before you save.
