Events Template

Overview

To make changes, navigate to Content > Events.

This template uses Event Layout 3 from our layouts site. This layout uses 1 page inside of the Pages Module (Content > Pages) to work and it has already been assigned to a page.

The most recent featured events will display on the landing section with links to the each event, and separate links are available for viewing the full events list and full calendar.

Because your Events are integrated with CCB, your Featured Events will need to be entered into the Ekklesia360 CMS. However, the list, calendar, and a detail views will display information directly from CCB.

The initial view of your Events page will display your upcoming events that are published as "Featured". It is important to use good quality photos for featured events, so this page will look as nice as possible.

Events List

The next option for viewing events is the list view, where all events are presented vertically, starting with the most recent. Users can easily filter the list using the category drop-down.

Full Calendar

The third option for events is the traditional calendar view. This is a good way to get an overview of the month for the entire church, and users can click on any event for more information. 

Event Detail Page

When an event is clicked on, the user will be directed to the Event Details page, which will show all the information for the event and an option to add the event to their personal calendar. If the RSVP option is enabled, this will be available on the Event Details page, too.

Managing Featured Events

In the CMS go to Events > Events and enter the appropriate information. Once you are ready to Publish, you will need to choose the "Publish as Featured" option for it to show up on the Featured view.

*NOTE - There is a custom field labeled "CCB Event ID". The specific CCB Event ID number must be used in this field and and the event date must match its corresponding CCB event to direct the user to the correct CCB event detail page.

All event images should be a 16:9 ratio (1,024px by 576px is the recommended size).

Filters

Category Filter 
Content > Link Lists > "CCB Event Categories"
This link list controls the category filter. The name of each link will be the name you want to display on the filter, and the description must contain the event category ID. The CCB event category ID can be copied from your CCB admin control panel.
