Event Finder

The Event Finder widget shows events that are available online, sorted by date (soonest to latest). All available online events show for 120 days, and featured events display if they occur in the next 360 days. See the Event Finder widget in action on Widget Church's Events page!

  • Featured events display a Featured badge.
  • The Event Finder can be pre-filtered by search criteria when it is embedded in a page. See Enabling Widgets. Events can be filtered by:
    • Campus/Congregation/Parish
    • Key Word(s)
    • Month(s)
    • Ministry
    • Sign-Up Type
    • Featured
    • Program
  • Key Word search looks for a match in the Event Title Name, Event Description, Program Name, and/or Ministry Name.
  • The URL may also be used to pre-filter by specific search criteria. For example, you only want to show events occurring in December.
  • You can limit the number of occurrences people see for an event series. For example, you only want to show the next three weekly Bible Study meetings for the rest of the year.
  • Publicly visible events can be seen by anyone, but events with Staff-Only visibility only display for authenticated users with at least one current Group Participant record where Employee Role is set to Yes (belonging to any Group of any Group Type).
  • If an image is attached to the Event record, it displays in the widget. If there is no image, a stock image shows instead. See Configuring Event Finder for additional information about images.

Sections

  • Event Title: The name of the event.
  • Event Date(s): The event's Start Date.
