Creating Event Pages

Event pages can be used to present upcoming activities, such as fairs or workshops. In an event page, all the relevant information (dates, location, button to register, etc. ) is shown together. For event pages to be enabled, the functionality needs to be included in the theme and design of your webshop: please contact your consultant or Customer Support.

Step 1: Creating a blog post

An event can be shown in the shop only if a blog post is linked to it.

1. In the CloudSuite Admin go to Blogs > Posts and click Create Post to create a new blog post.
2. When entering the blog post details, note the following:
   • In the Page tab, the Author is not used for events.
   • In the Layout tab, from the Options menu select Load Layout Template and load the template that has been defined for events. (This may be named Event template and should include at least the theme name, the layout selection, the Blog Post heading and the Blog Post info.)
   • In the Access tab, enter the Start Date and End Date to define the time period during which the post is visible in the shop.

Step 2: Creating an event

1. In the CloudSuite Admin go to Blogs > Events and click Create Event to create a new event.
2. When entering the event details:
   • Link the Blog Post you created in Step 1.
   • The Start Date and End Date of the event define when the event takes place, not when it is is shown. Through the start and end dates of the blog post, you can announce an event before its start date.
