Usage¶

Navigate to Administer->CiviEvent->Advanced Events Configuration to configure.

To find events by template: Events->Find (Events by template).

To manage event templates: Events->Event Templates.

Tutorial¶

To create a series of events first set up a template for your event.
While creating it if you want to create your series at the same time as creating the template, then you can create a bunch of events via the Repeat tab. But note that the 'repeat settings' (eg ever Monday for 6 weeks) do not get saved in the template
If later you want to create a single event based on the template then you click on the Create on the ui showing all the Event Templates but this does not give you the ability to make multiple events.
If you want to do that, eg to add a series for Tuesdays then you need to click Edit for the relevant template and go back to the Repeat tab of the Event Template, and fire them off from that screen.

Repeating Events¶

In order to manage repeating events, a template should be created for the event. Within these templates the Repeat functionality can be accessed and "extra" events can be added to the series, giving much better management of related events. It should be notes that this extension overrides the standard CiviCRM behaviour with repetition on the actual event itself to improve functionality.

Permissions¶

The following permissions for events are implemented for this extension:

CiviEvent: Create Event.
CiviEvent: View own event templates.
CiviEvent: View all event templates.
CiviEvent: Edit own event templates.
CiviEvent: Edit all event templates.
CiviEvent: Delete own event templates.
CiviEvent: Delete all event templates.
