Event - News and Events Site Content Type

ID: 379
Name: Event - News and Events Site
Description: Add event content to the site.

The content type not only displays event information but this is also used to power the Events Calendar.

All elements within theis content type are displayed using a selective output.

The Location element will allow you to select a map using the Event location content type and a Keyword Navigation.

How to use

All event content items are kept in a single section (Home » TCD Home » News and Events » Events Listing » Events) and the events calendar will look within here to project the JSON file needed.

Page layout

As this content type is linked in to the PHP Events module we advise using the TCD - News & Events - Right Column layout as this will allow the right column search and menu to be displayed.

Example

You can view a demonstration of this content type by visiting Event 1.
