Events

Event pages are built to accommodate the data and metadata associated with all AAP events, from a one-time lecture to a multi-day symposium.

All events share some core fields:

• The Time & Location tab houses start and end dates and times. Only the Start Date is required.
• The Location selector lets you pick from Contact Listings tagged as Locations; you can instead add a custom location in the Location Override field below it.
• The Related People field does not affect the event page itself; it just adds the event (and link) to the profile pages of the selected people.

Basic Events (default template)

Use the default template for simpler events that follow the traditional AAP format:

• The Event Description field stores three structured fields that always output in order
  • Abstract: text stored here outputs with an “Abstract” heading above it.
  • Biographies: a repeater filed for adding a Name, Headshot and short Bio. Outputs as rows underneath a Biography/Biographies heading.
  • Other description: any additional text you wish to add (with no heading)
• Registration Link: Add a button link to a URL for registering. ⚠️ Note: this button only outputs if the event has not yet occurred.
• Contact Information: List a Name, Phone, and/or Email to appear in the left-hand sidebar.
• Additional Sidebar Info: Add one or more Heading/Content pairs. These are useful for ad-hoc details like Receptions or Gallery Hours.

Complex Events (Extended Event Template)

For more complex events with more information to convey, switch the template selector to Extended Event Template. You can now use the Gutenberg editor to build out a page with any block. Some common use cases may include:

• Sectioning the body content with Heading 2s and adding Jump Links to each of them.
• Using a Table for a schedule
• Using the Details block to hide extra information under a heading until it is clicked.
• Using a Callout with Link List for a set of links to related web pages.
• Using a Logo Pond for a list of event partner logos

Note that the extended template still outputs any content stored in the Abstract, Biography, and Other Description fields below the Gutenberg content — while you can use both kinds of fields in one event, it may be simpler to move all content into the main Gutenberg field to controls its presentation and order.

Recordings

When an event is complete and a recording is available, visit the Recording tab, paste the YouTube/Vimeo link into the Recording Embed field, and switch on the Recorded toggle. This tags the event as Recorded in the Event Archive and adds the video to the top of the event’s main content column.
