Web Manual: Event

This is where the body text will go. In this example, we will explain the fields below:

The content type in question is the Event content type. 

Title:

This is a mandatory field and the title of the event. 

Feature Image:

This is an optional upload. If you do choose to upload an image (The ideal is an image no wider than 2000px at the widest part of the image and 72ddpi. If it is too large, it can take a long time to load or not show up at all), it requires the alternative text field to be filled in for accessibility purposes. The field will automatically crop the image to a 3:2 ratio. Please keep that in mind when you upload an image. Ideally you can pre-crop your image to a 3:2 ratio size to ensure that this field doesn't crop off a part of an image that you want visible. 

Feature Image Caption:

This area is the caption for the image that is visible to viewers of your Event page. Something to consider putting here is an image credit (if you need to include it) or a description of the image.

Event Time:

You can select a start date and time as well as an end date and time. If the event is ongoing, you can toggle the ongoing button below. The event start date and time is mandatory.

Summary:

This area is for a summary of your Event in 160 characters. This is helpful if you have a "news page" that shows all of the Event listings with a blurb. The summary would be the blurb. 

Body:

This section is the section where your main text will go. This section is where the wysiwyg is located. It is identical to the other content types. You can find instructions on the wysiwyg here. 

Location:

You can add the specific address of the event if there is a physical location.

Event Link URL:

You can insert a link to an event if there is a separate event page or registration page (ie. Eventbrite). 

Link text:

This is where you would include the link text/title to the event link.
