Working with the Content Management System (CMS)

Content Types: Event Calendar

<< Back

Next >>

Many websites have a News & Events type section for their company or organization. Your site might have one too. In our sample site, we did not include an events calendar, but the following will explain it's management.

If you are using this content type, then it's content management screen will appear quite different than the General Content Page management screen just did. The first time you go to to this screen you will see this:

Click on Add to start adding events to your calendar.

Once again, you are presented with an FCK Editor screen to input the title and details of the event you'd like to post.

All events must have dates. The date(s) input into these fields found below the FCK Editor area will be used to keep your events in chronological order on your site. Depending on the design of your site, you may or may not need to also include the dates within the details in the FCK Editor above. If your event is at a certain time of day, then you will also need to include that within the event details above.

If your event is a multi-day event then clicking on the multi-day event checkbox will display a second date box to input the ending date.

As always, make sure you save your edits when you are done. If you leave the screen before saving, you will lose everything you have input.

If you are ready to input more events, then click on List at the top of the management screen as shown in the second image above. From there you will be able to start the process over again. The editor is not set up for recurring events. If your event recurs monthly, quarterly, or annually, etc. then it will be necessary for you to enter the event for each occurance with the correct dates of the occurance each time.

The next content type is a Document Download. Go ahead and click on document Download in the side bar menu on the left, or on Next on the top right to continue onto the next page.
