Events

Introduction

Events are Tailor Blueprint entries designed to show events based on the entry's settings. Event entry content is determined by the events.yaml file.

The idea behind events are to show them as quickly as possible without having to go through a lot of loops.

Event Entry Properties

• A content field

• A short description (used in the Page Blocks)

• An Image field used to display behind the title (and date depending where the event is being displayed)

• An event link

• A location link

• A Location (used if the location link is set)

• Event Options

  • Ability to hide event dates

  • Ability to hide event times

  • Ability to add recurring events

• Ability to set start and end times with events

• Recurring Events

• SEO & OG Tag information provided by the seo_fields.yaml file

• Header, Body, and Footer code areas provided by the code_fields.yaml file

Recurring Events

Recurring events depend on the start and end date fields and automatically calculate repetence based on the following settings:

• Recurrence

  • Daily

  • Weekly

  • Bi-Weekly

  • Monthly

  • Bi-Monthly

  • Yearly

  • Custom

• Repeat Length

  • Only used if "Custom" is not set

Custom Recurrences

These recurrences give you more flexibility to pick exact start and end dates for anything.
