Event Details (only on event pages)
This block automatically displays the title, description and meta data of an event (date, time, location, categories) in a pre-formatted way so that this information does not have to be entered twice. This block ONLY works correctly on an event page.
List Events
This block creates a dynamic list with filtering, sorting and pagination. In the frontend, matching teasers / linked cards to events are then dynamically loaded and displayed.
Vacancies
This block represents 3 – 4 teasers with links to external pages about job postings. These are either created in the admin area under “Vacancies” and / or loaded via XML interface.
Contact Form
Here you can embed a form that you link by ID (from the shortcode, e.g. id=”120″). Please enter only the number itself in the “Form ID” field.
Breadcrumbs
Automatically displays the breadcrumbs, i.e. the path in the page tree, to the current page.

Line
Just a simple, thin, black line 🙂
Base Button
