Events application

Overview

The Events application enables you and your site members to create events. Each event must contain a title, category, start and end time. Each event may also include a venue, description, related website URL, and address. When an address is specified a link to google maps will be generated on the event display page.

In order to use events you will have to enable the app within the affiliate center. To do so navigate to Configure => Add/Remove Apps, check the "Events" application and hit save.

Adding Events

You and your site members can create events by navigating to the "event" link in the site navigation and clicking "Create an Event".

Finding Events

Each event that is created is indexed by the site-wide search engine and is made available on the site within a few minutes of being created. When you enable the Event application for your KIT Cloud Social-powered site, an "Events" link is added to the sites global navigation bar.
