When to Use
Use this instead of Calendar widget when showcasing specific calendar events. The event shell is compact, and can store multiple events in a space smaller than Calendar widget. The event carousel works best when there are more than 6 events in the list.
When to Consider Something Else
Use different calendar option if there are less than 6 events to display.
Use calendar widget content type if trying to display all events from UF or a specific department.
How to Use
Manual Event Shell - Use 2 content types Manual Event Shell as the starter block and Event Shell Event to list the events. Create an Event Shell Event for each event.
Event Shell Widget - This will automatically list events from Livewhale using a Livewhale widget ID. Create a widget using the Widget Library and filter event listings using the options, and copy the widget ID from https://calendar.ufl.edu/livewhale/?widgets
