The Events Organiser Plugin is very powerful with lots of options.<\/p>\n

Here is how to get started to use it to add a calendar of events to your site.<\/p>\n

Activate the Event Organise Plugin<\/h3>\n

In your dashboard go to the plugins page and click Activate under the Plugin Listing. \u00a0See Plugins for more information<\/a><\/p>\n

Create Some Events<\/h3>\n

Once you have activated the plugin you wil have a new Events section on your dashboard where you can create and edit events. Events are a special type of post\u00a0which can have extra information ( date, time and location).<\/p>\n

\"Events<\/p>\n

You can create a new event by clicking Add New in the Events menu or by clicking + New<\/strong>\u00a0link in the blog admin bar and choosing Event.<\/p>\n

An event needs a title and there are new fields for date, time and location.<\/p>\n

\"Screenshot<\/a><\/p>\n

Make sure you add a start & end date, a calendar pops up when you click the field.<\/p>\n

Save the event.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Adding a calendar<\/h3>\n

You\u00a0can insert a calendar on a page by using a shortcode<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Type<\/p>\n

[eo_fullcalendar]<\/p>\n

on a line on its own where you want the calendar to be.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When you view the page you will see a calendar:<\/div>\n

\"Example<\/a>
Example Calendar Click to view full size.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

You might want to use a full page template to show your calendar if your blog supports that:<\/p>\n

\"Pages<\/p>\n

This only scratches the surface of the Events Organiser plugin. It has a lot more power and features.<\/p>\n

We have an example blog showing just some of the plugin\u2019s features: Events Organiser \u2013 Examples: these are not real events<\/a><\/p>\n

The plugin has an extensive site of its own giving a lot more information: \u00ab Event Organiser Docs<\/a>. NB, some of the documentation refers to as pro version that is not installed on Glow Blogs.<\/p>\n
