Upcoming Events
The right panel shows a list of upcoming events that match the filter (category or date archive) that has been applied, in chronological order. By default, no filters are applied and all upcoming events are displayed.
Only upcoming events will be displayed. Events that have passed will no longer be displayed but can be accessed from the archives
Here are some of the features of the upcoming events list:
Event title
- Every event listed includes its title, which, when clicked, takes you to the full event details page
Event date/time and location
- Every event listed includes the date and time of the event and, if included, the location of the event
Occurrence
- If this is a repeating event information about the occurrence will be displayed
Event details
- Every event listed includes the description of the full event. If the description is quite lengthy, the full description will not be displayed here
Comments
- As long as commenting has been enabled for the Events module, the number of comments will be shown for each listed event (the creator of an event can turn off commenting for a particular event). The number of comments is a link to the full event, which will be scrolled down to the comments section
More actions menu
- For every event, the actions menu is available:
You can

The main content areas have an RSS feed icon that allows you to view that content in an RSS reader:
The RSS feed only provides the summary information, as seen in the content area, it does not display the underlying content.
All Collaborate RSS feeds require authentication (the user's email address and Collaborate password) unless authentication has been turned off by the site administrator.
The iCal icon at the top of the page allows you to subscribe to the selected events in the Events module using the standard iCalendar feed format:
Click on the link and open the calendar in their calendar program (typically Outlook).
As a security precaution, the iCal icon
does not appear
if the site is password protected, has 2FA security enabled, or requires each user to accept the site terms & conditions every time the user accesses the site.
In addition to those features, and assuming you have the permissions, you will be able to create a new Event by clicking
Add
:
The
Add event
screen opens:
If the list of events on this page is filtered by a category, then the new event form also has that category pre-selected.
The Events module employs infinite scrolling, so scroll down the page and more upcoming events will be shown. There is no limit to the number of events on a single page.
