linking events to webpages

Can i create an event for every webpage on my avada theme?

I have an events website and every webpage represents an event description & events slider pics for me. These events repeat themselves every month so there is a need to update the event dates every week or so. I will like the event date for that webpage’s event to appear on the sidebar. same for every event. Also, on the events calendar, can every grid entry show one of the slider pics, the event title (same as webpage title for every event), date and location?

Hey @toursbiz,

Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in our products !

Can i create an event for every webpage on my avada theme?

I’m afraid I don’t get what you mean by this. If you have an existing site, maybe you can link me to it and clarify a bit on this?

Basically our calendar let’s you add events (which you can link to webpages in your site) with specific date (which can be recurrent -every week fro example- in Events Calendar PRO). You can add widgets to the site sidebar to show a list of events, filtered by category or tags if necessary.

An easy way of checking out the plugin basic functionality is to download The Events Calendar core/free version and install it on your site to play around with the features.

Please let me know about my follow-up questions so I can better help you,
Best,
Nico

1. If i have 100 webpages on my avada theme, can i link an event to every webpage?
2. If yes, will the linked event be able to pull the webpage title and main pic on that webpage to be displayed on the events page? or do i have to separately create an event for every webpage?
3. Also, Where on the webpage will the date & venue for the event linked to that webpage be shown? In the sidebar?

Thanks for clarifying a bit on this…

1. If i have 100 webpages on my avada theme, can i link an event to every webpage?

You’ll need to manually create the event and then by adding the ‘existing webpage’ as the event’s website you can link them together. Or using a plugin like Posts to Posts.

2. If yes, will the linked event be able to pull the webpage title and main pic on that webpage to be displayed on the events page? or do i have to separately create an event for every webpage?

While you’ll need to create events manually (you can create a snippet to do this via code). Once the event and page are connected, you can grab the info from the page (title, featured image, description, etc) and include it in the event template (take a look at our themer’s guide to see how you can customize events templates).

3. Also, Where on the webpage will the date & venue for the event linked to that webpage be shown? In the sidebar?

All events will be found at the main calendar. You can add event widgets to the site sidebar. If you are referring here to where will the event info will show in the existing webpage, then you’ll need to pull that info in the page template (as you’ll need to do so for events).

Rounding up, what you look for can be achieved but you’ll to customize the plugin templates a bit and generate a script to create events from pages (if you don’t want to do that manually).

Please let me know if this makes sense! Also if you feel this level of customization is a bit advanced for you, please take a look at this list of folks who do custom development related with our plugin.
Best,
Nico
