Event Promo / Dynamic Event Promo

The event promo and dynamic event promos are components used to promote a short set of events that are upcoming, for example open days. It’s intended use is for the homepage and landing pages.

Like other promos, the design allows for customisation of what pattern background to use. Because this pattern incorporates an image also, this pattern will always be grey. When choosing the theme for this pattern, consideration should be given to the styles on the rest of the page.

The design of landing pages includes alternating left and right patterns, which can be used to create an engaging flow across a page. Where possible, promos should be stacked alternately, so that the user can engage left to right.

Key information

What's different about the dynamic version?

The dynamic event promo allows you to pull events from the central events section based on a set of criteria, where as on the event promo you have to manually add your events to the content type.

On the dynamic event promo using the query builder field you can create a query of the events you want to pull into your promo. Find the terms you want to use and click confirm. If you wanted to pull in Undergraduate Open Days your query builder field would look this:

If no events are returned from your query your dynamic event promo will no show in your published content. When previewing your content you will see an error message like:
