of events (not a calendar view but a list of events) so that it appears on all pages.\u00a0 First a word about regions of the web page.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Check the image below, the yellow areas identify the different regions of the page.\u00a0 We can add content to these regions by using blocks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Figure 55<\/p>\n Screen_BlockRegions.jpg<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A block is content that is displayed in a ‘block’ on the page.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the case of events we want the events to show up in the Sidebar second (right hand column of a page).\u00a0 There is a block view available from the Calendar view that was set up so we will use that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click on Structure then click on Blocks from the list of structures.<\/p>\n This will take you to the Home \u00bb Administration \u00bb Structure area.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scroll down to the\u00a0Disabled\u00a0<\/strong>section and find the\u00a0View: Calendar: Upcoming<\/em>\u00a0section.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Figure 56<\/p>\n Admin_Blocks_Calendar_Upcoming1.jpg<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is the view that we modified earlier and is ready for use.\u00a0 The next step is to tell the system where we want this block to be displayed.<\/p>\n In the drop down to the right of\u00a0View: Calendar: Upcoming,\u00a0<\/em>click and set to Sidebar second<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Figure 57<\/p>\n Admin_Blocks_Calendar_Upcoming2.jpg<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This will immediately move the\u00a0View: Calendar: Upcoming\u00a0<\/em>up to the Sidebar second area of the lay out ( you can find it by scrolling up to the top area but this is not necessary).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Click on the [Save blocks] button to save the new layout.<\/p>\n Click on the home (little house) icon at the top left of the screen to see how your list looks.<\/p>\n ON the right hand side of your home page you should see the list of events (your date’s will be different but the Church Calendar list should be like the following:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Figure 58<\/p>\n Screen_Calendar_SidebarSecond_UpcomingList1.jpg<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now let’s change the title of this list as Church Calendar does not seem

Calendar<\/strong><\/p>\n Change the\u00a0For\u00a0<\/strong>drop down to be “This block (override)” since we only want to change the title on this Upcoming block, not all views for Calendar.<\/p>\n

the event type content for future use.\u00a0 This will show you how to edit an existing content type to add a field – in this case adding an existing field we just want to use for events as

phone system and calendar for the building so don’t worry if your first ‘pages’ look basic, we will re-visit each page and polish it up before we publish.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We will start by creating
