Create an event

This page describes the Create an Event Page.

The main purpose of this page is to create a community event for your organisation. Submitting the form on this page will use the API to create a new event page. It will appear on your organisation's profile and also on the Upcoming Community Events calendar.

• The current slug for this page is create-a-project. The page can be accessed from the members toolbox from organisation settings.

#Activating the Create an Event page

• To activate this page type, create a basic page and tag it page_create_event.

• You will also need to tag it calendar_slug:CALENDAR_SLUG to specify the calendar to create the event in - for example this is currently set to calendar_slug:events as /events is the community calendar page.

Linking Event to Organisation

If the user clicks on Create an event in the organisation section of the members toolbox, the Org ID is included as a URL parameter:

create-event?org_id=ORG_ID

The integration uses that to link the organisation profile by tagging your new event org_event:ORG_ID.

Event card image

For these group-linked events, the card uses the event's Social media image first, then falls back to its first image attachment if no Social media image is set. To choose the thumbnail, open the event in NationBuilder and set Settings > Social media. Ordinary events without a group link follow the default rule: Social media image only, with no thumbnail if missing.

See Card for the rules and Image Guidelines for preparing the file before upload.
