Event calendar

Add a calendar of your shows to your website. One step makes the table you keep them in, puts it in this site's sidebar and gets it ready to show on a page as a month calendar.

Use it when

Use it when your venue or band lists shows and visitors check which nights are taken. Your team keeps the shows in a table called Event calendar, with photos, support acts, tickets and a Publication setting for each. The same shows appear on your business's Calendar. The website shows only each show's date and title, and only for shows whose Publication is Published.

Use something else when

For show cards with photos, support acts and ticket links, use Upcoming shows. For a venue's wedding and closed days, use Wedding calendar. For any other table that has dates, use Calendar.

The Lantern Rooms, a fictional music venue, adds an Event calendar, enters three gigs and sets two of them to Published. Its "What's on" page shows a month calendar with those two nights marked; the draft gig stays hidden until it is published.
