An event calendar gathers your organization's public events on one page. You can share the page as a link or embed it on your own website. This article is for organization administrators.
Before you start
- Event calendar V2 is a paid add-on. If you cannot find it in the settings, contact your account manager.
- You need the right to edit the organization's settings.
Create a new calendar
- In the top menu, select Organizations, then Settings → Event calendar V2 in the left-hand menu.
- Select Create a new calendar.
- Give the calendar an Internal name. It is only shown in the admin.
- Go through the settings sections (below) and select Save. A green Saved message confirms that your changes were saved.
Settings sections
The settings are divided into five sections. Use the section menu to jump straight to the one you need.
| Section | What you set |
|---|---|
| Basic details | The calendar page address, internal name, alias, date and time format, and the UUID you need for embedding. |
| Events shown | Which events the calendar shows: status, cities, tags, a word in the event name, order and past events. These filters always apply to the whole calendar, and visitors cannot remove them. |
| Views | The enabled views (List, Grid, Calendar), the default view, the event details and filters shown in each view, and the number of events per page. |
| Languages and texts | The calendar's languages and, for each language, its title, description and browser tab title. The first language is the default. |
| Appearance and tracking | Header image, events default image, theme, Google Tag Manager tracking, and hiding the calendar from search engines. |
Copy a calendar
If you need a similar calendar, for example for another language or audience, select Copy calendar in the calendar list and give the copy a name. The copy gets all of the original calendar's settings and texts, and it opens straight in the editor.
Tips and limitations
- An Alias replaces the UUID in the address, so you can give the calendar an address that is easy to remember. Allowed characters are letters a–z, digits, hyphens and underscores.
- The alias is not copied. The copy's address uses its UUID until you give it an alias of its own.
- Direct registration links take visitors straight to the registration form of the first available ticket.
- With Target a ticket, the registration link and ticket availability point to a ticket that has a specific datafield. Events without such a ticket show no registration button.
- While you have changes that are not saved, the top bar of the editor shows Unsaved changes.
