Event List


The eventlist is a great node to use when you need to display upcoming events on your website. Similar to the newslist the event list takes all the standard parameters including start date, an optional end date and event details, and as is the case for the newslist, automatically generates an RSS feed at:

http://www.myfancydomain.com/_rss

The event list by default will only show events in the future. However, it is possible to add a simple javascript function to a piece of text, or image, which will toggle between past and current events. (See below for examples.)

By default the event list will only show events in the future. To create a toggle to show past events you can add the following javascript to text or an image: Show Past Events: <a href="javascript:showPastEvents_eventlist_name()">Show Past Events</a> Show Current Events: <a href="javascript:showCurrentEvents_eventlist_name()">Show Current Events</a>
