I am glad that I have been able to find some time and put up the demo of the Events module. This module was in the works for a long time and I had also put it up on snowcovered a while ago. I kepts getting emails from people asking me if there was a help file available. I always wanted to write one, but never got around to it.

Anyway, I think a live demo that allows you to add new events is much better than a help file. If you get to play with the modules then you can judge weather you like it or not.

The latest Events module for DotNetNuke are really 8 view controls working in tandem. The main module that lists the events is CVTEventListing ( I have not changed the module titles in the demo just for brevity, you may want to change them to something else if a live website)

The other view controls used for manging your events, displaying list of event cities, list of categories, latest event display , event category and tag clouds. The best part is the your can display any of these user controls on any other page as well. Many a times you may want to display the latest events on the home page of you website and when clicked it would bring the user to the events page.

The module implements friendly URLS for SEO. 

There are many options you can set from the CVTEventListing settings, heres a screen shot below:

You can set the number of events you want to display at a time. The default is 10.

You can also mark certain fields as required fields and decide which ones to display in the listing. All the view controls also need to specify the corresponding CVTEventListing module thay are associated with. This way you can place any of the peripheral view controls on any other page as well.

Feel free to register and create a few events to try out the module.
