Adding an event

How to add an event

  • go to content--> calender
  • click  "add event"


  • Fill in the date of the event after "from date"
[note: you can insert the starting and finishing times of the event if applicable. This is optional, if you leave them set on midnight they will not appear on the calenders main page]


  • Fill in the "to date" section(this is optional).  The benefit  of filling in this section is that once the event has concluded it will automatically be removed from the site (this avoids manually removing the event)



    •  Insert the title/name of the event under the "title" section



    • Insert a summary of the event [the summary will appear on the calender's home page. Short outlines of events can be included in this section]



    • Insert "details" of the event if necessary. This is optional. If the details of the event are covered in the "summary" section, the "details" section can be left empty.  
            [Note:- the details section can hold large amounts of information if  necessary]



    • Fill in the categories section (this is located at the bottom of the page)
           [Note:- you can list the event in as many categories as applicable]



    • To edit the event click the edit icon (this is located on the right hand side of the page)



    • To delete the event click the garbage bin icon (this is located next to the edit icon on the right hand side of the page)
