Events and WordPress
Boise State uses Localist to manage and display events on the University Events Calendar and on WordPress subsites.
- If you would like to submit/add an event for a college or department, you can submit events to Localist, without being an admin for the site. Admins for the site will review your request and approve/deny it.
- If you wish to gain backend (administrative) access to Localist on behalf of a college or department, have your site admin request your access to Localist by contacting the Help Desk.
Event Hierarchy and Workflow
It is recommended that each college maintain an events calendar. Departments within each college should publish department events within the respective department category on the college calendar. Other departments (not within a college) may also maintain their own events calendars. It is recommended that other departments also combine efforts where it makes sense to avoid the unnecessary overhead of managing multiple calendars.
In-Page Events Widget
Events from your college or department calendar can be displayed on your boisestate.edu web pages via a Localist Events Widget. If you would like an Events Widget added/removed from a boisestate.edu web page, please contact the Help Desk.
In-Page Events Block
Events from external sources (not hosted on Localist) can be displayed using the Events Block. See the Events Block page for details.
Publishing to the University Calendar
For information on publishing your local events to the University Events Calendar, please visit the Event Submissions page on the University Events site.
