Events
Find out more about how to add an Event on T4. Your webpages will need to have had an events feed implemented by the Web team for an Event to show.
When to use this content type
Once you have had an events feed added to your webpages (please speak to websupport@qmul.ac.uk to have this set up) you will be able to add Events using this content type.
Adding events in this way will also allow your events to be pulled through to the central Queen Mary events list, meaning your events will be seen by more people.
Example
An event added in this way will include -
- Event title
- Start and end time
- Location
- Booking link
- Summary
- Longer detailed description

Creating the Event content type
Components
This content type has two components, and you will need both for your events to appear correctly.
- Event listing - The table pulling through your events. You will need the Web team to help you set this up before adding events to your webpages.
- Event (New) - The individual events
If either of these content types are not listed as an option once you have selected '+ Add Content', please contact websupport@qmul.ac.uk.
