This module provides a place where your site’s visitors can see events going on within your organization. It is a calendar interface with categories so that your visitors can see what types of events you have as well as the time and other important information about the event.
To access the Event module, you go to the “Modules” tab and click “Events.” The following screen will appear.
Events
Adding Events
To add an event, simply click the “Add Event” button.
The following screen will appear.
Fill in the different sections and click submit. The categories will color the event on the calendar so that you can tell the different types of events apart. If you select to repeat an event, it will ask you how frequently this event will be repeated. The “From” and “Until” sections have a date and time picker to make entering date and time easier. If it is an all day event, simply select “All Day Event” to remove the time settings.
