Flexform

Plugin: Events

Choose view

You can choose between views:

  • List events: Shows a list of events incl. a PageBrowser

  • List latest events: Just the next x events without PageBrowser

  • List events of today: Shows only events of today

  • List events of current week (Mo-Su). On tuesday (Tu-Su). On friday (Fr-Su)

  • List events next 4 weeks: Show events from today until 4 weeks

PID of detail page

Default: 0

Often it is useful to move the detail view onto a separate page for design/layout reasons.

PID of list page

Default: 0

Often it is useful to move the search view onto a separate page for design/layout reasons.

PID of location page

Default: 0

Often it is useful to move the location view onto a separate page for design/layout reasons.

PID of search page

Default: 0

If you use one of the above settings, it would be useful to define the pidOfListPage, too, so that a link back to list works like expected.

Categories

Default: empty

Reduce the set of events in Frontend to the selected categories. It's an OR combination.

List amount of records

Default: 0 (means use default from TS which is 7)

Only valid for latest view

Reduce the set of events in Frontend to X records.

Merge events with multiple times

Default: false

By default a created event with multiple time records for one day will be shown in list view with multiple entries, too. Activating this feature will merge an events with multiple time records to just one entry in Frontend.

Example: 17.07.2020 with 08:00, 12:00 and 16:00 will create 1 visible entry in Frontend list.

By default we add an additional link to detail view for further information.

Merge recurring events

Default: false

By default recurring events performed on multiple days, will be shown in list view with multiple entries, too. Activating this feature will merge an events with multiple day records to just one entry in Frontend. If this property was activated the property Merge events with multiple times has no effect anymore.

Example: 17.07.2020, 18.07.2020 and 20.07.2020 will be merged to 17.07.-20.07.2020.

As you see in example there is no information about missing 19.07.2020. That's why we add an additional link to detail view to show the exact dates.

We prefer using this property only for latest view, as it may confuse website visitors with durational events.

Pre filter by organizer

Default: empty

You can reduce the list of events in Frontend to a specific Organizer.

Show organizer filter selection

Default: empty

You can activate an Organizer Selector in Frontend where the website visitor can reduce the events to its preferred Organizer.

The Selector is only visible as long as there are at least 2 Organizers available.

Display

Default: Show both

Splits the event output. That way it's possible to show event images as f.e. Flexslider in header and somewhere below (in an additional Events Plugin) the event with setting only events

Show both

One Events Plugin shows images and event.

Show images only

One Events Plugin shows the images of an event only. Useful to slide images in header.

Show Event only

One Events Plugin shows the event data (no images).

Selectable categories for new Events

Default: empty

Here you can select the categories, which a website visitor can choose from, while creating new Events in Frontend.

Hint for Integrators: As the editor can select all categories from each layer of the category tree, we have implemented a further restriction in TS rootCategory. That way only chosen categories as direct child categories of rootCategory (Parent Category) will be selectable in Frontend Form.

Plugin: Calendar

Categories

Default: empty (Show all events)

You can reduce the set of events shown in calendar to a list of given categories. This is an OR-Query.
