Editing Default Event Template

Glen · Mar 10th 2021

Hi Everyone

I am currently trying to create some what's on pages and I am wanting to customise the /perch/templates/events/event.html template.

However, I don't seem to be able to customise the default tags that come with the addon such as eventTitle, eventDateTime and eventDescHTML.

I would like to change the label="" and add a help="" but it's not appearing. New perch:event fields I add appear and display no problem, it's just editing the supplied fields.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

A note of caution about the Events app. It's very old now.

In fact, drewm said don't use it three years ago, http://forum.grabaperch.com/fo…ions-about-the-events-app

These old apps - events, gallery etc - should be pulled off the site.

Thanks Clive Walker

Now that Perch has new owners George G, I feel a really great starting point would be to make sure that all existing apps like events, gallery, comments etc are fully updated.

Glad I came across this, as I have just installed the events addon, but am thinking that making a simple template to display events in table rows would do just fine for what my client asked me to set up.

Agreed. The new owners have a big shopping list. 😅
