Event

This module allows you to organize displaying of event list with an opportunity of automatically moving old events to archive. It is also possible to organize displaying of events for the certain month of the year (with the help of ArchiveNavigator control).

Events can be displayed in RSS format (if the event list is displayed, the links to RSS versions are automatically added to Meta tags).

Using a SortMode attribute of the EventList tag you can set sorting type. This attribute can have one of the following values:

Date - sorting by date (this sorting type is used by default);
DateDesc - reverse sorting by date;
Name - sorting by action name.

With the help of a ShowDays attribute it is set for how many days forward events are displayed.

In the EventList tag you can use the following tags:

WithoutItems - template of what is displayed, if there is no event;
TopPart - top part of the event list;
BottonPart - bottom part of the event list;
Template - event that has an URL to detailed information about it;
TemplateWithoutLink - event that has no URL to detailed information about it;
Separator - separator between single events.

Use <%# Container.RSSUrl %> in the TopPart and BottonPart tags to get a link to RSS version

In the Template and TemplateWithoutLink tags of the EventList tag you can use the following parameters:

Template's part	Description
`<%# Container.EventName %>`	Event's name
`<%# Container.Desc %>`	Event's description
`<%# Container.DateTimeStart %>`	Date and time of the event's beginning (as DateTime object)
`<%# Container.DateStart %>`	Date of the event's beginning (as string)
`<%# Container.TimeStart %>`	Time of the event's beginning (as string hh:mm)
<%# Container.Location %>	Event's location
<%# Container.Url %>	Link to the full description of the event
<%# Container.IsWeekend %>	Whether DateTimeStart is started on weekend

A template file for this module lies in a modules/event folder and can look as follows:

<%@ Control Language="c#" Language="c#" Inherits="CMSLib.Pages.SiteControl" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cmse" Namespace="CMSLib.Modules.Event" Assembly="CMSLib" %>
<cmse:EventList id="EventList1" runat="server" ShowDays="30">
    <TopPart>
    <table border="1">
        <TR>
            <TD>Date</TD>
            <TD>Time</TD>
            <TD>Name of the event</TD>
            <TD>Description</TD>
        </TR>
    </TopPart>
    <TEMPLATE>
        <TR>
            <TD><%# Container.DateStart %></TD>
            <TD><%# Container.TimeStart %></TD>
            <TD><a href="<%# Container.Url %>">
            <%# Container.EventName %>
            </a%></TD>
            <TD><%# Container.Desc %></TD>
        </TR>
    </TEMPLATE>
    <TemplateWithoutLink>
        <TR>
            <TD><%# Container.DateStart %></TD>
            <TD><%# Container.TimeStart %></TD>
            <TD><%# Container.EventName %></TD>
            <TD><%# Container.Desc %></TD>
        </TR>
    </TemplateWithoutLink>
    <Separator>
        <TR>
            <TD colspan="4"><hr /></TD>
        </TR>
    </Separator>
    <BottonPart>
        </table>
    </BottonPart>
    <WithoutItems>No events</WithoutItems>
</cmse:EventList>
