Pages: Events

Create date-specific content using Event pages and feature them on a sitewide calendar

Overview

With the exception of meetings, which have their own special type of page, Event pages are the go-to type whenever the content you want to feature is date-oriented. Event pages are designed to make displaying dates, both on the pages and their teasers, easy and intuitive; otherwise, they allow for all of the same powerful functionality that Standard pages feature, including text formatting, elements, and teasers.

The public view of a standard Event page

The edit view of the same Event page

Purpose

Event pages are designed to prominently feature the date and title of the page, so they have a number of common uses, including:

• classes & workshops
• planned maintenance
• open houses 
• holiday events
• any parties, celebrations, awards ceremonies, or other community events!

A less common, but equally viable use case for Event pages are blog posts, which you can see an example of here >
