Events Widget: 2 Cards

Guidance

The @uol-widget-events pattern lets users see a selection of upcoming events sorted in chronological order.

It uses the standard @uol-widget and the @uol-event-cards components.

If there are no events available the entire widget including the widget title and “View all events” link will not display.

When to use

Use the @uol-widget-events pattern to display a selection of upcoming events, typically on a home page of section introduction page.

When not to use

Do not use this pattern for:

  • anything other than events.
  • events in the past

Developer guidance

Events widgets will normally include a link to a page where all events can be viewed. Use the widget_link object. eg:

'widget_link': {
  'url': '/all-events-link',
  'text': 'View all events',
}
{% if events.length %}
  {% extends '@uol-widget' %}

  {% block widget_content %}
    {% render '@uol-event-cards', { events: events } %}
  {% endblock %}
{% endif %}
