Add an events list
Use the calendar page template as the central place on your website to publish events. You can then embed a ‘feed’ of upcoming events in any other page e.g. your home page. When you publish a new event in the source calendar, the events list updates automatically.
You can also embed a feed of upcoming events that have certain tags – say, ‘Research seminars’. For example, some departments do this on their research landing page.
The Faculty of Social Sciences home page has an events list in the third row:
- Go to the page where you want to add the events list.
- Go to Edit > Edit centre content or Edit right content.
- Place your cursor in the visual editor where you want to add the events list.
-
In the toolbar, select Insert a > Calendar/events feed. The Calendar/events feed window appears:
- In the Page path box, select the page picker button and browse to the location of the calendar you want to take a feed from. Alternatively, type the relative URL of the calendar (without the
https://warwick.ac.ukpart). -
Choose one of the Show up to options:
- Show all events within a specified number of days in the future
- Show all events up to a maximum number
- Show events which took place recently up to a maximum number
- Optionally, select Also show end times on events.
- Optionally, to link events in your list to the full calendar item, select Titles are clickable links.
-
To only show events with particular tags, type the tags separated by commas in the Filter by tag box. For example:
Conferences, Research seminars
-
Select Insert. Text similar to the following displays in the visual editor:
[sched-cal view=upcoming num=3 tags='Conferences,Research seminars']/yourdept/calendar[/sched-cal]The attributes of the
[sched-cal]tag above specify:- show the next three upcoming events
- only show events that have any of the tags ‘Conferences’ and ‘Research seminars’
- When you have finished editing your page, select Publish. The events list is added to your page. When you add a new event to the source calendar in the future, the events list will update automatically.
