As part of the upcoming updates to the Membee Events module, many changes are
being made to the online events display and we wanted to give you a little
"sneek peek". The new display is cleaner, easier to use and more modern and gives you much more control over the online event layout and display.

As part of the upgrade you will be able to choose between a 600px or 930px layout on an event by event basis. This makes it easy to choose the best display width to suit your website templates.

600 Pixel Layout

930 Pixel Layout

You have more options for layout when you are using the 930 pixel design which is a two column layout .

The 600 pixel layout is a single column design. Use the 600 pixel layout when your template restricts the horizontal size of your content. All of the sections will be placed vertically and your members will be able to simply scroll down the page.

The new display settings give you much more control over the look of the event pages.

Choose the display width (600 or 930 px)
Choose the order in which the sections are presented.
Hide sections if you wish.
Replace section titles with your own.

The new layout dynamically responds to ticket purchase quantity entries by displaying fill-in forms for the number of ticket items purchased.

Because you can now create multiple Event Widgets, you could choose to use the 600px layout for your normal events calendar pages while placing script for a 930px widget onto a page to display your conference or gala dinner.

You simply create a widget for your special event and set the event display to use that widget.

All this is possible because you can create multiple Event Widget scripts each with it’s own settings and you can tie the widget settings to specific events.
