To keep your event goers within the relevant areas of your MSL website, such as during Welcome Week or O-week, add an Event List widget to a relevant webpage within that section, like the landing page or a What's On page. Then, create an event display page as a child page of the one with the Event List widget. Finally, select your newly created Event Display Page from the Display Page Override field in the Event List widget settings.
For example, if you're organising a Winter Fest and have a What's On page at /winterfest/events/ with an Event List widget listing relevant events:
Creating an event display page at /winterfest/event/ or /winterfest/events/event/ ensures that when viewing an event, users stay within the microsite on /winterfest/event/[EventID] rather than being redirected to the default /ents/event/[EventID] page:
TABLE OF CONTENTS
You can access this feature from your MSL website. Only Content Editors with access to Website Admin can access the Website Pages window.
This is designed for specific scenarios where you want to maintain the page layout while viewing events, and/or manage ticket sales at designated shops (in a multi-shop setup, the shop is determined by the URL). It isn't necessary to set up an event display page to display and view events on your MSL website.
For further information, see Events Widgets.
