Add event

Adding events is the core function of a shared calendar. The preferred use case is adding events via the website, although other methods are available (e.g., importing from other websites via ics, through federation, through custom plugins, or via API).

Who can add events?

If you are logged in or anonymous event entry is enabled on the homepage, a button with the word “Add” and a + icon will appear in the center of the homepage, which will take you to the page to enter the event.

You can also manually go to the same page adding /add to the address of your website.

Adding an event

Title

As you can imagine, it’s the title of the event.

Where

To enter the location where the event will take place, simply select one of the suggested locations from the drop-down menu. If it is not already listed, you can enter a new one.

If the location is already present, you cannot change its address (ok an administrator can do it in Admin>Places). This means that if you have two locations with the same name, you must find a way to distinguish between them in the name.

When the option is enabled, you can enter the geographical coordinates of the location.

You can also create online events if enabled for your web site, as well as mixed events.

When

When does the event start? Select the day or days if it is a multi-day event. You can then enter the start and end times.
