Calendar Manager is a module that can be found in the module menu in the left navigation bar in Composer.Â
This is where events can be added to display on your site. You might have a feature on your homepage, for instance, that shows upcoming events in a slideshow. A campus calendar page could have a traditional âgridâ-format calendar, with events displayed on each day. A âNewsâ page could show a list of upcoming events with details opening on a pop-up. All of these scenarios (and others!) can be achieved by inserting a Calendar Element onto a Composer page.
Events that are saved in Calendar Manager can be shared across other calendar systems. You can also pull events from another system (such as Google Calendars) into Calendar Manager, and display them on your site as if theyâd been created in Calendar Manager.
Calendar Manager events can also be included in bulk email templates, as well. Dynamic Content template elements can pull events from calendars and seamlessly integrate them into email messages with the Messages module using custom styling to match the rest of the layout.
The articles in this section of the Knowledge Base explain and demonstrate how to create events in Calendar Manager as well as how to display them throughout your site. Here are a few articles to get you started:
