### Create Joomla articles for Events

The Courses page of the template is built with Joomla articles, and you're supposed to create categories and articles for events

* Please go to Admin > Content > Articles > Create new articles
* Assign them to your event category
* Go to the tab "Article Type Options" > Select Article Type > *Regular / Video / Gallery / Audio / Review / Quote*

### Create an event information

* After that, please go to the tab "Event Options", you'll see the event's options
* Enter the information of the event including Location, Phone, Guest Number, Call-To-Action text, URL, Latitude & Longitude 
* Set the start time and end time for the event

{% hint style="info" %}
The Call-To-Action button is only visible when you set the start time after the current time. \
Ex: Current time: July 3rd, 2021 -> the start time should be later than July 3rd, 2021
{% endhint %}
