Adding an event to the calendar

New event

1. Go to Collections and click Events.
2. Create a new event with the button at the top right of the list.
3. Fill in the title, for example Opening day. With tags, visitors can filter the calendar (see Using tags).
4. Under When and where: choose the date and time at Starts at and, if you like, Ends at. Does it last all day? Tick All day; the times are then not shown on your website. Fill in the location and, if visitors need to sign up, the registration link.
5. Under Photo: drag a photo onto the box, or pick one from the File manager with the round button with the folder. The button with the frame lets you choose the most important part of the photo (see Tips for good photos).
6. Under Description: write what there is to do. The start of this text automatically becomes the short description in the overview.
7. Click Save draft. Your changes are saved and the window closes.

Putting it online

You always save an event as a draft first. Then click Publish at the top right of the CMS: all your saved changes go to your website in one go. This way you can prepare several events at your own pace and put them online together. See also Saving, previewing and publishing.

The same event on another date

Every date is a separate event. If an event comes back, such as a market or a guided tour, you do not have to fill in everything again:

1. In the Events list, click the button with the two sheets (Duplicate) next to the pencil.
2. A copy is added with KOPIE after the title, and it opens straight away.
3. Change the date, remove KOPIE from the title and click Save draft.
4. Click Publish at the top right.

The copy is always a draft: it only appears on your website when you publish.

Changing or removing

• Click an event in the list (or the pencil) to change it.
• The bin in the list takes an event off your website. It stays in the trash for 30 days and can be restored.
• You do not need to remove past events: your website only shows what is still to come in the calendar (depending on the design there may be an archive).

More options

• SEO tab: the short description for the overview and Google, and your own title and description for Google. Empty = taken automatically from the title and the start of the description.
• Settings tab: the web address of the page (empty = from the title).
• Info tab: the status, when and by whom it was last changed, and earlier versions (see Restoring an earlier version).
• Your website passes every event on to Google, so it can also appear in the search results for events. The more complete (time, location, photo), the better.

No Events in your menu?

The calendar is not available by default. Your website also needs to be able to show it. Contact Windkracht if you would like to use it.
