First setup

Goal: show a working calendar page in about five minutes.

  1. Open Components > Easy Events Calendar. Read the Dashboard checklist if it appears.
  2. Click Categories and create one category (example: Concerts). Save.
  3. Optional: open Locations and add a venue name, city, and map coordinates (needed for Events Map). Save.
  4. Open Events and click New. Fill Title, Start date/time, Category, and Status = Published. Save.
  5. Add two more events the same way so the calendar is not empty.
  6. Go to Menus > [Your menu] > New.
  7. Menu Item Type: choose Easy Events Calendar > Calendar (month) or Cards or Dashboard.
  8. Give the item a title (example: Events), set Published, then Save.
  9. Clear cache, then open that menu link on the front end.

Student tip: Change only one Display option, click Save, then refresh the front page. That way you learn what each switch does.
