Design Event Calendar Highlights

For information about how to create or edit a part, as well as the tabs on the Edit Part screen, see Create and Edit Parts.

1. From the Design tab, under Pick source calendars, select the calendars to include in the calendar highlights. You can choose from any calendars created with Event Calendar parts.
a. In the Display column, select each calendar to include in the calendar highlights.
b. In the Color column, select a color for events included in the selected calendar. When a website user views the highlights, the titles of events from the selected calendar appear in the selected color. For example, if you select red for the soccer calendar, the titles of all soccer events are red.
c. In the Icon column, select an icon for events included in the selected calendar. The program resizes the selected image to 16x16 pixels automatically. Icons appear next to the event titles. For example, if you select a soccer ball for the soccer calendar, a soccer ball icon appears next the titles of soccer events in the calendar highlights.
2. Under Pick category filters, select the categories of events to use in the calendar highlights. For example, if this is the school’s main athletics calendar, you could include only the Game category. This would filter out any events included in other categories from the selected calendars, such as practices or scrimmages. You create Event Calendar categories on the Code Tables page in Administration.
3. To include a section that displays highlights of upcoming events, under Additional options, select Show upcoming events.
a. In the Upcoming events title field, enter a title for the upcoming events section.
b. In the Show next field, select the period of time to include events in the display, such as events that occur within the next 5 days or next month.
4. To include a section that displays highlights of previous events, select Show recent events.
a. In the Recent events title field, enter a title for the recent events section.
b. In the Show last field, select the period of time to include events in the display, such as events that occurred within the previous 5 days or previous month.
5. To include the Print View button on the highlights display, select Show print view button. When website users click Print View, a window appears displaying a printer-friendly version of the event highlights.
6. In the URL for more information field, enter a URL to another page on the website or to a separate site that contains more information about events. If you add a URL, More Information appears on your website.
