Setting up an Events Page and Widgets

How to set up a page for your Events module to display on your website.

The Events Module is a great way to show upcoming events on your website.

An Events page displays all of the current event items and automatically removes events when the have occurred in the past. As well as the Events page, the "Events Module" can easily be displayed on any page of your website, automatically displaying the last five events.

Setting up the Events Page

To display events, you will need to have a page on your website selecting "Events" as the Module Name. The page must also be active. You will be able to tell which page is assigned to the Events Module by the Events icon (as shown below). If you would like any text to appear above your Events, enter it into the content editor within Page Administration.
