Event categories can be used to divide events into categories. For each category, there are various settings that determine how the category is displayed on the website.
You can customize the categories under “Settings > Events.”
Congressus automatically creates the following event categories for you:
Educational
International
Social
Of course, you can customize the names of these categories to suit your needs. We also show how many events have been created in each category in the overview.
Add category
Click on the blue button at the top right: “Add event category.” You will then see the following screen:
Name - Give the category the desired name.
Sender - Select the mailing identity that will be used for communications regarding events of this type.
Custom color - Select a specific color for the event category. This color will be used in the calendar on the website, among other places, provided your layout supports it.
Show in overview - Indicate whether you want to show this event category in the overview on your website.
Visibility - Here you can determine for the entire category whether it is always public (visible to people who are not logged in and logged in) or always behind the login.
Published for - Here you can indicate that these events are always only visible to a specific segment of your members. To do this, you must first create a simple filter. Members who do not fall into this filter will not see the events from this category on the website.
Published on - Indicate on which website(s) you want to publish the event category.
Please note: When you have added events to a web page via add content > events, you have also indicated which categories should be included. New categories are not displayed there by default. You will therefore have to add them yourself.
