V 1.1 February 2024

As you can see, I used a simple media and text block to create details of a joint
outing with the History group for August. I could have added additional blocks to
give information about timings, coach pick-up/drop-off point, refreshment
facilities, more photos, and so on. This could be as long or as short as I wanted.

This is a lovely feature. We can now create a descriptive page of an event and
link it very easily to the Events page as well as to the respective group page. All
of the information is within the event and there is no need to create a separate
information page, save it as a pdf, upload it to Site Builder, then link it to my
group page.

It is so easy that almost any member or group leader should be able to do this
for themselves.

Event Categories
Return again to your Dashboard and select Event Categories and you will get the
screen below.

Setting up categories for events enables you to filter them when you view all. It
makes it easier to navigate your site. On the left of the screen is an area where
you can add an event category. Simply add the new information and save it.
Note that the ‘Slug’ field is populated by the system when you save your event.
On the right of the screen is a list of categories that have already been set up for
this site. Earlier when you viewed the list of events the only choices you saw in
the filter were meeting or outing but you can see several other categories on this
screen that will have been set up for previous events but are now on the list to
be used again.

In an earlier section you created a new group. Now add a new event for this
group using the descriptions above.
