What is Flex Events

Events management and publishing is one of the most popular features on internet. You can find event list on church websites, mesuem websites, library websites, stadium websites and many other kinds of websites. Flex Events allows you to easily do this job on DotNetNuke websites.

Flex Events allows you to setup locations and categories. Each event can be assisgned to one location and one or more categories. Site visitors can use locations and categories to easily filter your events. You can have dozens of fields to describe your events, and you can setup custom fields to describe your events if necessary. Custom fields can also be used to collect data from your clients when they book events.

You may wish your event list to have different kinds of layouts according to your web design. Flex Events comes with 6 event list views like Calendar view, Week view, Grid view and List view. All views are optimized to work on both desktop browsers and mobile devices. It is also possible to combine multiple module instances and display all events in an integrated module.

Mobile Friendlyis one of our top concerns when we develop this product. This product is responsive and works well on desktop browsers. The appearance of many UI elements on mobile devices are different with the desktop version. Flex Events is also especially enhanced for SEO purposes. For instance, when you browse events in your browser, pagination may be enabled so you will not get a long page. However, when web crawlers reach the same page, pagination is disabled so search engines can easily index your events and will not consider it to have too many levels.

Flex Events support online event booking, and you can choose to accept payment by Paypal, Authorize.NET and offline payment. Multiple pricing tiers and bulk discount can be defined with a few mouse clicks.

Why can Flex Events do

Flex Events allows you topublish one-time events and recurring events on DotNetNuke websites. We strongly recommend you to download the trial version and try it by yourself. There is a Load Dummy Data link in the trial version which allows you to build a dummy events module within a few seconds.

The main features of this product can be summarized to:

If an event first happens on Thursday, November 13, 2014, Flex Events allows you to recur this event every Thursday, 13th day of every month, or 2nd Thursday of every month. More complicated patterns can be defined to support irregular recurring events.

Six event list views : Similar to Ultra Media Gallery, Flex Events comes with six unique event list views, and it is expeted to have more.
