The Calendar widget displays a calendar of events on your website. You can select the content to display, then specify how events are listed and displayed individually. The widget provides options to filter the displayed events based on various criteria.

To configure the Calendar, click the Edit button  in the upper-right corner of the widget.

The configuration window appears where you can configure the following:

Content

On the Content tab, choose which events you want to display in the calendar from the following options:

Under Which events to display? select one of the following:

·         All events

With this selection, the calendar shows all events that are uploaded and published.

·         Events by date…

This will make the widget only display events from a selected date range:

o   Upcoming events…

By default, this option will display upcoming events from any time in the future.

If you click the “Change” button, another window will pop up which will let you choose events from a range of days, weeks, months or years.

Under “Custom range…” you can choose a specific date range, down to the hour.

o   Current events

This option should not be used by itself, but it’s fine to use in conjunction with Upcoming events. 

 Selecting only “Current events” will only show events that are currently in progress, and the calendar will be empty unless there is an event happening at the time the webpage is being viewed. I.e., if you have an event scheduled for July 4, 2019 from 10am-2pm, the calendar will only display the event on July 4, 2019 from 10am-2pm, the rest of the time the calendar will appear as if it has no events in it. 

o   Past events…

Just like Upcoming events, by default, this option will display upcoming events from any time in the past.

If you click the “Change” button, another window will pop up which will let you choose events from a range of days, weeks, months or years.

Under “Custom range…” you can choose a specific date range, down to the hour.

·         Selected events…

You can choose to display only the events you manually select.

If you click “Narrow selection,” you can further specify which events to display by choosing one of the following:

·         All published events

This is selected by default and displays all events from the dates selected in the previous step.

·         Filtered events by…

You can narrow down the displayed events by Calendar, Categories, Chapters and Tags

Select one or more of the following:

o   Calendar…

A Select button will appear. Click it to select the calendar from which you want to display events, then click Done.

o   Categories…

Select the categories from which you want to display events, then click Done.

o   Chapters…

Select the chapter from which you want to display events, then click Done.

o   Tags…

This will display events with tags you select.

List Settings

On this tab you can set the calendar behaviors.

By default, the week starts on Sunday and the Default view set to “Month.” You can change this with the following options:

·         Week starts on

Select whether you want the calendar to list days from Monday through Sunday, or Sunday through Saturday.

·         Default view

Click the “Default view” dropdown to select the range of days to view.

The options are Day, Work Week, Week, Month, Agenda, and Timeline.

You can also allow users switch to one of the other views.

·         Calendars

            Choose if you want to allow users to filter out certain calendars.

List template will only have one option and cannot be changed.

Single item settings

Here, you will choose how you want to open the details of a single event when it’s clicked on.

Under Open single item in…, you can choose from the following:

·         Selected existing page…

If you have other items on a page with a Calendar widget, such as a content block or event feed, you will need to designate a page to display a single event when it is clicked, otherwise the page for the single event will show the other items as well.

If a “Single Event” page has been created, you can use that here as well.

To create a page to display a single event:

o   Create a child page under Education & Events, name it “Single Event”

o   Un-check “Show in navigation”

o   Use template “ChapterTemplate”

o   Click “Create and go to add content”

o   On the page, drag an Events widget into the main content area. The page does not need any other elements.

o   Publish the page

Now you have a page that can display all the details of a single event item. Click the Edit button on the widget, go to the Single item settings tab, click the radio button for “Selected existing page…,” click the Select button, choose the “Single Event” page you created under Education & Events, then click “Done selecting.”

The Detail template dropdown menu will only have one option and cannot be changed.
