Event Calendar

The Event Calendar content item displays active events in a dynamic calendar control, which allows users to browse by month, week, and day, and to click through to event showcase details.

Events listed on the Event Calendar content item are color-coded:

Green indicates that the event is visible to all users and open to registration.
Yellow indicates that the event is visible to all users but not open to registration.
Orange indicates that the event is visible only to staff users.
Red indicates the event was cancelled.

Event Calendar configuration options

This content item uses the Common content item configuration options.

When configuring the event calendar, you also have the option of choosing which event categories you want visible. In the Selected event categories drop-down, click the desired categories, then Save & Publish.

Only events with one of the selected categories are visible. If no category is selected, then the events will not be filtered by category.

If you are filtering events by a Query, the following Display properties are required:

End Date
End Time

Notes

If you want all users to be able to see the calendar, go to the Security tab, enable Advanced, and select Everyone Read from the drop-down.
Calendars based on IQAs have only one green color, regardless of the status or anything else, and there is no difference between staff and public users viewing when using IQAs.
No functions (program items) appear on the calendar, which allows users to focus just on discrete events.
This content item is currently not keyboard accessible.
If double-clicking an event in the Event Calendar returns the error The resource cannot be found, make sure that the EventDetail shortcut is configured correctly at RiSE > Site Builder > Manage shortcuts.
