Events

Within the edit view of a page, you can add the UTMB events widget and display a filtered set of events on a page.

1. On the right side menu, click the Content tab, click the Scripts and Styles drop-down menu and find the Embed code widget. Click, hold and drag the Embed code widget to the desired section of the page, and then release the widget
   
2. On the Embed code widget, click edit
   
3. Paste the widget embed code from the UTMB Widget Builder and add a description under more options section
   
4. Preview the page to ensure the events populate and publish when finished

Currently, Default is the only template available. However, this template does offer multiple display options, which can be selected at the bottom of the Widget Builder.

The Widget Builder allows you to specify both the number of events to display and how far into the future the widget will search for events.

• Number of Results
  • Controls the maximum number of events displayed in the widget. Enter a value between 1 and 50.
• Days Ahead
  • Controls how many days into the future the widget will search for events. Only upcoming events are displayed. Enter a value between 1 and 365.

The Widget Builder allows you to display only the events that match the criteria you select. The embed code generated by the widget will automatically display events that meet your chosen filters.

You can filter events using the following categories:

• Experience
• Business & Support Areas
• Academic Areas
• Locations/Venues
• Theme
• Audience
• Campus
• School
• Academic Event
• Health Care Event
• General Event
• Centers, Institutes, and Program

Most departments, academic areas, centers, institutes, programs, and other organizational units should be able to identify their events using one or more of the filters above. Use these filters whenever possible.

Website Section Filter

If the standard filters do not provide the level of specificity your website needs, you may use the Website Section filter.

Unlike the filters above, which categorize events by their characteristics, the Website Section filter identifies the specific website or webpage where events should appear. It tells the widget to display events that have been intentionally tagged for that destination.

Website Section categories are created only upon request and should be used only with the permission of the website owner. Do not assign a Website Section category to an event unless you have been authorized by the website owner. Otherwise, your event will appear on their website.

To request a new Website Section category or for additional information, please email events.calendar@utmb.edu.

By default, recurring events are displayed only once in the widget. Select Include All Matching Instances to display every occurrence of a recurring event series that matches your selected filters.

The Content Must Match setting determines how the Widget Builder combines multiple filters when selecting events to display. Choose the option that best matches how specific or broad you want your results to be.

• Any location/venue, business & support area, keyword, tag, or filter item:
  This is the broadest matching option. An event will be displayed if it matches any one of the selected criteria. Example: If you select the location "Main Campus" and the keyword "Research," events tagged with either "Main Campus" or "Research" will appear.
• At least one location/venue and business & support area, and all keywords, tags, and filter items:
  This is the most restrictive matching option. An event must meet all of the following requirements:
  • Match at least one selected Location/Venue
  • Match at least one selected Business & Support Area
  • Match every selected Keyword
  • Match every selected Tag
  • Match every selected Filter Item
  Use this option when you need highly targeted results.
• Any location/venue or business & support area, and at least one keyword or tag, and one filter item:
  This option provides a balance between broad and narrow filtering. An event must meet all of the following conditions:
  • Match at least one selected Location/Venue or Business & Support Area
  • Match at least one selected Keyword or Tag
  • Match at least one selected Filter Item
  Use this option when you want events that are relevant across multiple categories without requiring every selected criterion to match.

The Widget Builder allows you to exclude events based on specific criteria. This is useful when you want to display a broad set of events while removing specific types of content (for example, an “all except one” scenario).

You can exclude events by the following categories:

• Experience
• Business & Support Areas
• Academic Areas
• Locations/Venues
• Theme
• Audience
• Campus
• School
• Academic Event
• Health Care Event
• General Event
• Centers, Institutes, and Program
• Website Section

You can display events as a list or a mini calendar with an accompanying event list. Choose from the following display styles:

• Modern
  • A single-column list of events displayed as cards, with the event photo positioned to the left.
• Card
  • A multi-column layout displaying events as cards, with the event photo positioned on the top.
• Classic
  • A single-column list of events separated by divider lines, with the event photo positioned to the left.
• None
  • Displays events using the same layout as Classic without additional styling.

Additional options for descriptions, images, times, and links are available below the display styles.

Preview the widget to ensure the correct events are displaying.

Generate the embed code to add the widget to your website.

Remove the following content before adding the code to your site:

• All content after the </script> tag:
  <div id="lclst_widget_footer"><a style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;display:block;width:81px;margin-top:10px;" title="Widget powered by Concept3D Event Calendar Software" href="https://www.localist.com?utm_source=widget&utm_campaign=widget_footer&utm_medium=branded%20link"><img src="//d3e1o4bcbhmj8g.cloudfront.net/assets/platforms/default/about/widget_footer.png" alt="Localist Online Calendar Software" style="vertical-align: middle;" width="81" height="23"></a></div>
