Events

Inform your readers about upcoming concerts, movies, and events.

The Events module in CMS 4media is a special type of page dedicated to creating information about various types of events. It allows for creating, deleting, editing events, as well as previewing the number of views.

The form includes an editor divided into fields such as title, content, tags, category, organizer, location, image, and map.

Additional SEO fields allow you to add your own title and meta description for better control over how your content is displayed in search engines.

 

Event List

The events added in the CMS are displayed in the form of a list on a dedicated subpage, for example, www.YourPortal.com/events.

Website users can become familiar with upcoming events in the city or region. Thanks to the event search engine, website users can search for events by:

  • Entering any word or phrase.
  • Choosing event categories.
  • Quick selection, which allows them to choose events happening today, in the next 7 days, etc.
  • Filtering events within a specific date range.
  • Sorting the event list by start date, end date, or alphabetically.

Users can also toggle the "Show Ended" switch to display past events.

Additionally, you can add a dedicated events widget to any template in Website Visualizations (Page builder module), allowing you to display events practically anywhere on your website. Learn more about widget configuration: Event Widget.

Each created event has its own individual page, consisting of:

  • Image: accompanied by a linked description (source) and/or a description.
  • Event category: e.g., concert.
  • Description: the event's content, such as the program.
  • Location: city and address, accompanied by a map.

At the bottom of the event page, there is also a list of other events.
