Enable multiple events#
This guide shows you how to run several editions of your tech event in one Plone site. For the difference between the two modes, see About single and multiple events.
Turn on the setting#
Open the Site Setup and choose TechEvent Settings.
Check Should we support multiple events.
Save the form.
The setting is stored as collective.techevent.settings.support_multiple_events.
What changes when you save#
Saving the setting applies the configuration right away. In multiple events mode, the Plone site no longer holds the event settings, the Tech Event content type becomes addable, and the permissions move to the events. Turning the setting off again restores single event mode.
Warning
Changing the mode changes the content type settings and the permissions of the site. Make a backup before you change it on a site with content.
Add an edition#
Add a Tech Event at the root of the site, titled with the year of the edition, for example
Tech Event 2027.Open the edition and fill in the Event Settings fieldset: the start and end time, tracks, levels, audiences and durations.
Add the Schedule, the venues and the sponsors inside the edition.
Each edition keeps its own settings and its own content. Content in one edition does not use the tracks or the rooms of another edition.
Check the mode#
Open the Add menu at the root of the site. In multiple events mode, the Tech Event type is available. In single event mode, you add the schedule and the other event content directly to the site.
