The Events Plugin page allows you to manage all the Event entries in your network, determine the Global and Member Level Settings for your network, and manage Categories.
In your Admin area, go to Plugins > Events.
Select Events to view or delete. They are categorized by “Title”, “Owner”, “Views”, and “Date Created”.
You can directly view any Event that is listed on the admin panel by clicking on the "view" link next to the Event you would like to view.
You can delete an individual Event by clicking the "delete" link on the right side of each row under the "Options" column.
You can choose to delete multiple Events at once by using the checkboxes on the left side of the table and the "Delete Selected" button at the bottom. Checking the checkbox in the top header will select all the checkboxes on the list below it.
To get to this page, click on the "Global Settings" tab. “Global Settings” control the universal settings for Events and differ from “Member Level Settings” which control Event settings per member level.
Determine how many events will be shown per page by entering a number in the input box.

When your members create an Event, they are given options for Event Privacy, Comment Options, and Photo Uploads. These options can be determined by you.

By default the ability to type in any HTML in discussion posts is disabled. If you would like to allow a user to use HTML in their discussion posts, you will need to list the tags you would like to allow in the field below. An example would be: a, b, img, font, etc.
Note: there is still a pre-programmed list in the source code that limits the allowed HTML tags in an entry. If you would like to see the list of forbidden tags, please refer to the /application/libraries/Engine/Filter/Html.php file. These tags were forbidden to prevent the corruption of the site's styling; however, if you would like to take any of the tags off the list, you are more than welcome to at your own risk.
