Page Content Sections - Events Teasers (3) Section
Use the Events Teasers (3) section when you want to show up to three events from selected categories on a page.
What this section is for
This section creates a compact row of event teasers that links visitors to your full events page.
Helpful details:
- It only pulls events from the categories you select.
- It is different from the full Events Page section, which shows the full event listing.
- On default pages, the section uses the main content width.
- On landing pages, the teaser row is centered inside a container.
- The section always includes a View All Events » link to
/events.
Fields in the Events Teasers (3) Section
Section Title
Use Section Title to help your team identify the section while editing the page.
Helpful detail:
- This title is internal only. It is not shown on the website.
Background Color
Use Background Color to choose the color styling for the teaser items.
Helpful details:
- The selected color is applied to each teaser item, not to the entire section background.
- If you choose white, the accent styling is based on the site's primary theme color.
Border Options
Use Border Options to choose how each teaser item is outlined.
Options:
- No Border Around Each Item
- Thin Border Around Each Item
- Thick Border Around Each Item
- Thin Border on the Sides and Thick Border Top/Bottom of Each Item
Headline
Use Headline to add a visible title above the teaser row.
Helpful detail:
- The section header also includes the View All Events » link, so it works best when you provide a headline.
Categories
Use Categories to choose which event categories can appear in this section.
Helpful details:
- This field is required.
- Only active categories are available to select.
- An event can appear if it matches any of the selected categories.
Active
Use Active to control whether this section is included when the page is rendered.
Helpful detail:
- If Active is turned off, the section stays in the page editor but does not appear on the website.
Important behavior to know
- This section shows up to 3 matching events.
- Events are sorted by Start Date, with earlier dates shown first.
- The section uses each event's active, activation-date, and deactivation-date rules.
- The section does not separately hide past-dated events on its own.
- Each teaser links to
/events/{event-slug}#item{event-id}. - Each teaser shows the event name and formatted start and end dates.
- This section does not show event details, location, time, image, or a registration button.
- If fewer than 3 events match, it shows only the matches that exist.
- If no events match, the section can still show its header and View All Events » link with no teaser items underneath.
How to add an Events Teasers (3) Section to a page
- Open the page you want to edit.
- Go to the Page Content area.
- Click Add new section.
- Choose Events Teasers (3).
- Enter a Section Title for internal reference.
- Choose a Background Color.
- Choose Border Options.
- Add a Headline.
- Select one or more Categories.
- Make sure Active is turned on.
- Save the page.
- Review the page on the website.
Practical setup tips
- Use a category such as Featured Events if you want tighter control over which events can appear.
- Keep event activation and deactivation dates current so old items do not stay in the teaser row.
- Use a short headline so the section stays easy to scan.
- If you need full event details on the page, use an Events Section instead.
- You can add more than one teaser section if you want separate event groups on the same page.
- Use matching border and background styles with News Teasers (3) or Promo Blocks (3) if you want a more consistent page design.
If the section is not behaving as expected
Check these items first:
- the page was saved after your edits
- the section's Active toggle is turned on
- one or more categories were selected
- the event belongs to one of the selected categories
- the event record itself is active
- the event's activation and deactivation dates are not excluding it
- you are not expecting the section to hide past events automatically
- you remember that each teaser links out to the full events page
