# Users manual {#users-manual}

Using this extension is very simple if you are used to the extension *news* already!.

-   [Additional fields](#additional-fields)
-   [Additional views](#additional-views)

## Additional fields {#additional-fields}

The following fields are added:

### Is Event {#is-event}

This checkbox defines if a news item is rendered as event item. Only if
set, the additional event fields are displayed!

### Event end {#event-end}

An optional end date can be defined for an event. If set, the event will
be shown for every day starting with the start time (which is set in the
regular **Date & time** field) until the given end date.

### Full day {#full-day}

This checkbox can be used to style events in a different way. There is
no additional functionality implemented.

### Organizer {#organizer}

This relation can be used to add an organization to an event.

The organizer record itself contains only the basic fields:

-   Title
-   Description

### Location {#location}

This relation can be used to add a location to an event.

The location record itself contains the following fields:

-   Title
-   Description
-   Street, ZIP, City, State, Municipality, Country
-   Phone, Email
-   Latitude & Longitude
-   Link

The country is stored as its ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, e.g. `AT`. None of
the address fields are rendered by the templates shipped with the extension,
they are meant to be used in your own templates.

### Organizer Simple {#organizer-simple}

A text field to set an organizer without using a relation.

### Location Simple {#location-simple}

A text field to set a location without using a relation.
