What visitors see
- What's On, at
/events, lists the events still to come or under way, by start date, earliest first, with each one's dates and venue. An event leaves the list once it ends, and keeps its own page. - Each event has its own page at
/events/followed by its address. It shows the dates and times, the venue, a Register button when it has a registration link, its images, its map, and links to add it to a calendar: Download .ics, Google Calendar and Outlook. - Subscribe to the calendar on the listing gives residents every event in their own calendar app. See Social media and RSS.
On the maps
An event with a location or a drawn route appears on the site's community map. With your Aptli hub paired, it also appears on the hub's own community map and its timeline. See The service hub.
