New Function - Events Calendar and interviews with Candidates

The calendar of events and upcoming interviews with candidates adds functionality for creating and managing events, such as interviews with candidates, seminars, webinars, conferences.

The dates with active events are highlighted as links in a different color and upon clicking on the date, the user will navigate to a separate page. The upcoming events may be displayed as a list, a grid or on a map, depending on user preferences. Each event, when clicked on, takes a user to an event details page.

This page contains all the information relating to the event. The user may contact the event organizer with additional questions about the event. 

The procedure for adding an event is similar to adding a listing; a user needs to fill out an “add an event” form with information relating to the event, such as venue, type, description, duration, etc.

The Events Calendar function takes full advantage of the site functionality as well as of other functions. In other words, you may apply various options, such as:

The Events page displays a calendar in the sidebar. The dates, on which the events fall are highlighted as links. Conversely, the dates on which there are no scheduled events are displayed in regular black font.

When a user clicks on the date with the active event, he will see the list of the events available on that date. The events are displayed as a grid, list or on a map depending on the user preferences.

The user will be able to select the event he is interested in and navigate to an event details page. There, he will be able to read more about it and contact the event organizer with additional questions.

Some events may span several days. For instance a sports event, which begins on Monday and ends on Friday. In this case, the event will be displayed for all dates over which it spans.

The user also has the ability to view the past events. The dates with the past events are highlighted in a grey color. The user may still click on them and view the events, which were arranged during these dates. All past events are marked as past to avoid confusion.

The box with the categories relating to events may be placed under the Events Calendar widget. The categories will allow users to filter events based on a particular topic, for instance, seminars, tranings, webinars, etc.

Aside from the ability to filter events by categories, users may also take advantage of the search form and search for a particular event by keywords. In case of a match, the user will see all the events containing a search query.

You may make the ability to add an event for a user a paid option, which will be a part of a membership plan or listing packages. In this case, a user will not have the ability to add an event unless he purchases a membership. Similarly, ability to add events for users may be integrated into packages and you may create specific packages allowing users to add a certain number of events.

The Events Calendar options makes full use of the Joffer functionality, particularly in terms of ads types. In other words, you may apply various options and features of ads types to the Events Calendar. 

Some of them are:

There is also an ability to display the events on a map as circles tied to their location. This gives a user an ability to quickly find the events in a desired location.
