Does the website your designing need to list events that can display the event dates, times, how many can attend, etc. Then the BlueberryCMS Events module is for you. With the Events module you can:
- Create your own custom Event Types like Concerts, Appointments, Meetings and more!
- Display events in a List Layout that you can customize from the ground-up.
- Display a monthly calendar on your page that visitors can interact with.
- Manage Bookings by creating simple Web Forms allowing visitors to register for events.
Let's go over some of the basics to get your events configured.
Create an Event Type
Event Types are a great way to organize your events in to categories, customize the calendar item color, and specify the registration form.
• Navigate to Content > Modules > Events.
• Then go to the Event Types tab and click on New Event Type.
• Enter in the name for the Event Type, choose a color, and select the registration form we created in the previous step.
• Click the Save button when done.
Create an Event
• Now go back to the main Events tab
• Click the New Event button to create the event.
• Enter in all the important information for your event ensuring that you select the appropriate Event Type you created in the previous step.
• When finished, click the Save button. Tip: If you have many events with the same details, save time by clicking the Copy Event button!
Place your Events to display
Place the {bb_events} tag in your Web Page, Page Template, Content Holder, or anywhere within the building blocks of BlueberryCMS. This tag supports a variety of attributes as well such as one of our most popular options being display="month" which will render a nice monthly calendar on your page. Or just by placing the tag by itself, it will show a basic list of events that you can customize. In this example, we created a regular Web Page called "Events" and placed in the {bb_events} tag.
