Things have changed
00:00:05:15 - 00:00:23:26
Ever wished your website could magically display your upcoming events? Well, grab your digital wand because today we're exploring the Events Feed. Your new favourite way to showcase events on your website and trust me, it's going to be Event-Tastic... sorry, I couldn't resist that one.
00:00:23:30 - 00:00:33:20
Before using the events feed, you'll need an events page set up. This events page serves as your central hub for creating and managing events.
00:00:33:23 - 00:00:39:01
The events feed automatically pulls event details from this page to display on your site.
00:00:39:10 - 00:00:46:00
Don't have an events page yet? No worries, you can easily create one through your SwiftFox website's backend.
00:00:46:04 - 00:00:56:14
Let's get that event speed up and running. Navigate to your chosen page that you want to feature your Events Feed. Select Add Block when you want your events to appear.
00:00:56:18 - 00:01:03:32
Find and select Events Feed from the block options. And now the real fun begins.
00:01:03:36 - 00:01:11:04
First thing we need to do is select Add under Event Page to select which events page will feed into this block.
00:01:11:08 - 00:01:19:37
Next, set your Max Items. This is how many events you want to show in this feed. You might just want to save five most recent events.
00:01:19:41 - 00:01:31:34
By default, you'll see your events thumbnails in this feed, but you can also choose to hide them here. You can add a fade effect at the bottom of the fade to blend it into your page background if needed.
00:01:31:38 - 00:01:41:14
Now here you can fine tune watch shows in your feed. You can filter which events appear by using search terms, tags, and date ranges.
00:01:41:18 - 00:01:58:09
You're in complete control of your event showcase. At the top of this drawer you'll see the familiar styling options from the other blocks such as; padding, animations, borders, and also shadows and margins. Tweak these however you like to match your style and brand.
00:01:58:13 - 00:02:16:45
Once everything's set up, your Events Feed transforms into a beautiful carousel of upcoming events. Desktop users get a smooth scrolling experience through your event cards. Mobile viewers, well they'll see a neatly organised vertical list because we believe in making things easy for everyone.
00:02:16:48 - 00:02:24:09
One click on any event opens its full details page, perfect for RSVP and more information.
00:02:24:13 - 00:02:35:42
The Events Feed is a powerful tool that lets you share your events with style, and zero stress keeps everyone in the loop effortlessly and displays your events everywhere without any extra work.
00:02:36:04 - 00:02:42:45
No complicated set up needed, it just works. It's the simplest way to keep your events in the spotlight.
00:02:42:49 - 00:02:52:32
And there you have it your ticket to event displaying excellence. Now go forth and let your events shine. We can't wait to see what amazing gatherings you'll showcase.
