Settings

 

The settings screen allows for customisation of the events system. The following settings can be applied:

Expiry Action

The expiry action determines how the events will display in the dynamic events list on the website.

  • Archive -  past events will display in the list under the default title Past events. the name of this heading can be modified further down the settings. This option is useful for communications after the event. i.e. distributing speaker presentations.
  • Or Hide - Hides all past events on the website

New Event Image

The new event image option allows for uploading or removing a small image to draw attention to a new event.

Note: The image is best prepared at an appropriate size.

Display Current and Display Past Order

The order in which the events list will display on the website.

  • Event Name
  • Display Date
  • Event Date

By:

  • Ascending (current at bottom of list ) 
  • Descending (reverse)

Allow Sorting and Allow Filtering

This will automatically create an option for sorting and filtering events at the top of the events list page

Categories

Here you can create categories. These categories can be used for emailing marketing purposes. Enter categories to create Special Interest Groups. For example: Geographic locations.  When events are loaded under event details, categories can be assigned to them. Then from the email events lists option you can target people who have attended these event categories.

Note attendees should be given the opportunity to agree to receive correspondence, to comply with any existing anti spamming regulations. When an attendee registers for an event, categories should be turned on in the registration fields giving them the option to untick and decline correspondence if preferred.  We recommend you check spam legislation that may apply to you.

Email Template

Choose a section template for email correspondence

Send Confirmation Email

If this is selected, the attendee will receive a confirmation email. This has a default response, but  additional instructions can be added/edited from Events>Edit pages>Confirmation page.

Show Deleted Registrations

Select this if you still wish to see your deleted registrations in the registrations lists.

Show Past Events

Select this if you still wish to see your past events when loading events into the event system from the administration area. This is recommended if you wish to make a copy of a previous event and just change a few details like date. Note that copying an event  will not copy any registration information.

Current Events Title

The title for events list page. This page is used to display a list of active events loaded into the database, with a suitable display date.

Past Events Title

The title for past events listed on the website. Note this only displays if archive is selected as an expiry action, or there are past events loaded to display with an appropriate display date.

Registration Link

This controls the title of the link that is added by the stem to allow a visitor to register. This link can either be added to the Event Details, event list or both. Depending  on if Hide List Registration Links is selected. 

To customise the link.

The following code will define which part of the sentence will become a hyperlink.

Allow Multi Registration

Note they will need to create a profile for ECG attendee. Note this will  also require user instructions set up in the events pages and responses set up in the Events > Edit Forms > Multi Form Properties.

Hide List Registration Links

Removes online registration link from the events list page. It will only appear once the visitor has clicked through to the event details.
