This article covers the Events List for our redesigned events experience. If you haven't upgraded your events yet, check out this article.

Please note: In your org-level control panel, you can still create an embeddable widget that will display the full legacy event registration page. If you'd like to read more about creating and embedding a widget for your events, head to this help desk article on creating widgets.

Introduction

To get started, you'll need to toggle on the Events Banner in your control panel and then customize the Events Widget in Form Builder. When someone clicks on the banner on your form, they'll be taken to your events list where they can choose an event they'd like to register for.

Here's what that looks like:

The Top Content and Bottom Content areas function just like those in the donation page sections of Form Builder. You can add text, images, or embedded videos.

In the Upcoming Events section, you can customize the Title text and add Additional Text that will appear below it, if desired.

When you click the gear icon to edit the section that houses the Events listing, you'll see quite a few options. You can adjust the widget Title and include optional Additional Text. You can also choose to Display Event Dates, Event Location, and/or Event Prices. All of the text fields in the edit view are editable.

  • If you have free packages, you can customize the Free Text.

  • You can adjust the Button Text and Button Text for Past and Sold Out Events

    • The Display Icon checkbox determines whether an icon of a ticket appears on the button.

  • If there aren't any upcoming events associated with your forms, you can adjust the language that displays on your form in the No Events Text field.
