Event Content Type

Use the arrow keys or spacebar to go to the next slide.

Make this presentation full screen for best effect.

This content type is very similar to other content types. However, this content by default is handled through a view. We are going to start by adding a piece of news content type. To do that, go to Content --> Add Content --> Event

Where you begin

As you can probably tell, there is a similar look and feel to the backend of this and all content types. Fill out the fields you have information for and want to fill out. The fields for this content type are as followed:

  • Title
  • Event Date
    • ​Start Date
    • End Date
  • Event Time
    • ​Start Time
    • End Time
  • Body

 

Event Content Type

Now that you have completed your piece of event content, you actually do not need to worry about where and how this informational content is displayed. The events view takes care of that all for you.  To help optimize the display of your events view, you can see below what fields display where from the event content type to the events view.
