Create an Event Page

How to create an Event

Step 1: Create the Event page.

To do this, go in the hierarchic structure of the site to the newsroom area (Newsroom) > Events > 2020 (or another year) and then click on the "Create" button at the top right

 

Step 2: 

By clicking on the "Create" button, a menu will open.
Choose here "Page"

Step 3: Select the template

Select the right template called "News Details Template"

Step 4:  Fill in page informations

As far as they are known to you, fill the fields "Title", "Name", "Tags", "Page Title" and "Navigation Title"

Step 5: 

Select the page you have created (picture below) and then click on "properties" or type a "p" on your keyboard.

Step 6: 

You can now enter all the properties of this page - (see picture on the right).

❶ "Title": It will be the title of the page as it will be visible in the tabs of your web browser.

❷ "Category Tags": This allows assigning different tags to this page (in this case "Exhibition"). Tags are words that describe the content of a page.

❸ "Related Tags": Assign related tags to this page.

❹ "Hide in navigation": This page will not appear in the navigation.

❺ "Select In Focus to Highlight Headline Content in Teaser Card": Give the teaser of this page color in the "News Listing"

❻ "Page Title": The title of the page

❼ "Navigation Title": This is how the page will be seen in the navigation AND the main headline on the page.

❽ "Subtitle": The subtitle of the news detail page

❾ "Description": Meta description of the page. Especially useful for indexing in search engines.

Step 7: 

 You can (optional, but strongly recommended) add an image as a thumbnail.

This allows you to display an image in the "Events List" view.

Step 8: 

Now that the page is created you need to place a header at the top of the page.
In the edit mode, drag and drop the Event Header component from the Components list. Double click on the dropped component to start editing. Below the description of the fields/values that are being filled in (see picture below):

❶ Pick a date when the event is starting.

❷ Pick a date when the event is ending.

❸ "Headline Text" and 

❹ "Subline Text": "Headline Text" and "Subline Text" can be entered here, but it is strongly recommended to proceed as described above at step 6 using the page properties.

❺ If this checkbox is clicked, a field must then be filled in with a URL (usually an external site). Once the event has been published, the user will then have the possibility to book a ticket to the event by clicking on an icon that will appear on the right.

❻ If additional details of the event are available on an external site, then it is recommended to give the URL here.

❼ Fill in the fields here to clearly locate the event. Only the "Country" field is mandatory but the more information you provide the better, in particular the Street name, Postal Code and City fields will allow you to locate the exact location of the event on Google Map.

Below the finished header

The header automatically adopts text and tags entered at step 6.
"Category Tags" (here Exhibition), "Start and Date", the location of the event, "Headline Text" and "Subline Text" are already entered.

  1. Gather the publishable content (text, image, documents, ...) ready to be published, i.e. released and corrected. Place this content in the assets before you start.
  2. Use the "news details tamplate" for your news article page    
  • The "News Details Template" is the template to use for News articles and it contains by default:
    • A "Header" at the top of the page. This header (with a generic background image) will never be edited by an editor and remains unchanged. 
      Note: Do not confuse "Header" and "News Header".
    • A "Breadcrumb" component - just under the "Header" indicates to the user where he or she is in the structure of the site.
      This element too will never be edited by an editor and will be filled in automatically.
    • A "News Header" - is a component for Headline and Subline of the News article and is filled partially automatically with data from the "page properties". This component can be reworked individually - See below on this page "Step 8".
    • A "Rich Text" component for main  content/text of the news article.
    • An "Image" component - will contain an image and can be filled optionally.
    • "Contact Card Layout" - a component for showing the contact person and contact data.
    • A "Link List" component for download - can be filled optionally but strongly recommended.
