>>Sarah: Tendenci's events module allows you to
add events, filter them by type and your visitors and
members can register and pay for events online
directly from your Tendenci website. In this video I'm
going to show you how to create event types
that will allow you to filter your calendar and create
a colorful events calendar like the one you see here
and then in the next video coming up in the series I will
show you how to create an actual event on the calendar.
So let's show you how to create the events type and what
those are is, if you see here on the right side of the calendar
is custom color coded filters. So I can click on one of these
and it will show me those types of events on the calendar.
So as you can see in this coming month we have one philanthropy event.
If I click on industry, we have these industry events in the month at this
organization and so on. You can also have all the events show up and that makes it
very easy for members and visitors to find what they want based on the categories.
If you have multiple organizations or chapters all sharing the same calendar,
you can also divide up the calendar based on which city chapter, for example.
I'm going to show you that over here. Here is the new template site, Space Points,
and we're going to add a new event type for one of their different chapters
in San Francisco. So logged in as the administrator you'll come up to the events tab
and you'll come down to event types and as you see on the screen here we have our
different event types labeled with the color selected for how we've set them up
and we're going to scroll down here until we find a blank bar and in this case
we're going to add "Space Up San Francisco" and then we're going to pick one
of the colors that we have not picked yet before that matches the themes that
we want to go with and let's see if we look at this one, they have a theme with orange
and with the maroon so I think I'm going to pick one closest to it. You can add additional
ones,
for example I can add "Space Up DC" another chapter for this organization and I can pick
a different color for it and then save changes. Now you never actually run out of event types
as you see here after I've saved I'll scroll down here and here's the two new ones I've
added
and if I keep scrolling you'll see new blank event type fields have shown up where I can
add additional cities or chapters or event types if I wanted. So we've just added event
types and
if we come back to our event calendar you'll see over here "Space Up San Francisco" and
"Space Up DC"
has been added and they filter it by alphabetical order. So that's how you add an event type.
In the next
video we'll show you how to add an event itself.
