Events

The event component allows for any type of content to be event enabled, meaning content can have a start and end time, and appear in calendars. The ability to event enable any content type, combined with the ability to create new types of content, make it possible to create unlimited types of calendars. The ability to broadly event enable content will allow for creative applications combining information and real world events.

The administrator can decide which content types should be events for their site. In content type configuration, administrators can select the calendar view options: never, all views, or only views for this type. For example, this makes it possible to have a general calendar which shows all meetups and house parties in the same calendar, and have a separate calendar for rallies which only contains the rallies content type. Calendars can be customized to view a specific content type or a category of content, using taxonomies.

Administrators can also set two types of options for events; general event options, and event overview options. General event options are for timezone configuration, time notation formats, and event block configuration. Event overview options allow calendar and table event default views. Administrators can also set general filter controls for content types and categories, via the event taxonomy controls.
