Event

Description

The content type of events is used for calendar entries. Just like the content type news, you create events from your local Web space. The events will then appear on the search page for events that are under www.gu.se/aktuellt/evenemang. The editor of the central news site will make a selection of events that are highlighted through image blurbs. Similarly, you can push for selected events on your local Web space. You can also list 5 or 10 of your events using a component in layout builder.
