Event

An event consists of time and date information plus optional images and texts in multiple paragraphs.

Serial dates can be defined for event series. Individual dates can be subsequently removed from a series if a date is cancelled or there are changes to an individual date in the series.

Events can also be optionally booked via an online registration form. Incoming registrations are saved and sent to the person responsible by email. There is a user interface for managing registrations, including waiting lists and cancellations.

The detailed view of the event automatically generates structured data for search engine optimisation, which is written invisibly into the page.

The event is usually used in lists, but can also be dragged directly onto a page.

This element does not set any cookies.

This element does not use JavaScript from external servers.

The execution of the optional booking function for the event is NOT controlled by the cookie banner.

The event booking function does not use cookies and does not execute JavaScript that is relevant to data protection.

The optional booking function for an event links it to an online booking form. The linked form must be configured separately. In principle, the data protection information provided for the form therefore also applies to events that use online booking. 

Relevant for data protection in connection with the booking function for events is which information is requested by the form and thus transmitted. This is decided by the OpenCms editor who configures the form. As a rule, however, personal data such as name, address, or telephone numbers are requested by the form.

The form element offers various options in its configuration for how the collected information is handled:

  • Sending form information via email
    In this case, the information entered in the form is sent by email to the configured recipients. After the email is sent, no information from the form is stored in OpenCms.
  • Saving the form information in the database
    In this case, the information entered in the form is stored in the OpenCms database. In the database configuration of the form, you can specify which permissions are required to access the stored data. Stored form data is not automatically deleted.

Far away, behind the mountains of words, far from the lands of vowels and consonants, live the blind texts. They live secluded in Letterville on the coast of Semantics, a large ocean of language.
