Event landing pages have been deprecated in favor of portals using the portal events widget.

The portal events widget maintains parity with existing event landing pages and adds additional customizations, like formatting, grouping, and combining multiple calendars, lists, or maps in a single page.

The Convert to Portal tool

To generate a new event portal from an existing landing page, we’ve added a Convert to Portal tool to the event landing page popup. This tool automatically generates a portal from an existing landing page.

This tool works best for relatively simple landing pages. If your landing page is complex, or needs extensive updates, creating a new portal is the better option.

✨ Convert to Portal does not delete your original landing page.

Generating an event portal from an existing event landing page

To automatically generate a portal from an existing landing page:

1. Go to Database.

2. Select Event Landing Pages (deprecated).

3. Select a landing page.

4. Next to Convert to Portal, select Generate.

5. Confirm the browser dialogue. You are redirected to the new portal.  

The previous folder configurations are now part of the events widget.

The new portal’s key is <YOUR_PORTAL_KEY>_vNew.

If the landing page had a key of visit, the new portal’s key would be visit_vNew.

Portal key considerations

• Each portal key must be unique.

  • This is true across portals and event landing pages.

  • For example, there cannot be an event landing page with the key of visits and a portal with the key of visits.

• Portal keys have a 32-character limit. If an event landing page key has more than 27 characters, it will exceed the 32-character limit when _vNew is appended, and the portal won't be generated.

Replace an event landing page with an events portal

To replace an existing landing page with an events portal:

1. From the main navigation, select Database.

2. Select Event Landing Pages (deprecated).

3. Select a landing page.

4. Copy the key and paste it somewhere you can access it later.

5. Change the key to a placeholder value. For example, visit-old.

6. Select Save.

7. From the main navigation, select Database.

8. Select Portals.

9. Select an existing event portal—likely the one you’ve just generated with the Convert to Portal tool—or create a new one.

10. Replace the portal’s key with the key of your landing page. For example, replacing visit_vNew with visit.
