Recite CMS allows you to manage calendars and events that can be published on your web site. This is useful for many different purposes, such as creating news articles or blog posts.
You can have any number of calendars in your web site, and any number of event types. Each event type can have a custom list of fields associated with it, making it an extremely flexible system.
There are four different Control Panel widgets available to help you manage calendars and events. These are as follows:
Calendar List. This widget lists all calendars that exist on your web site.
Calendar Viewer. This widget is used to view and manage a single calendar. This widget can be opened by clicking on a calendar in the Calendar List widget.
Calendar Event Viewer. This widget is used to view and manage a single calendar event. This widget can be opened by clicking on an event in the Calendar Viewer widget.
Calendar Event Types. This widget is for managing the different types of calendar events. Every event that is created corresponds to a single event type. When creating a calendar you can decide which event types can be used within the calendar.
You can add the calendar list and event types widgets manually (from the
Calendar Event Management category in the widget browser), or you
can create a new tab using the Calendar pre-defined layout.
The following figure demonstrates this layout. The tab is a two-column layout, with the Calendar List and Calendar Event Types widgets in the left column and a placeholder for viewing calendars and events in the right column.
For the purposes of this chapter, I'll assume you're working with a tab having the same layout as the pre-built Calendar tab.
