Turning articles into events with dates
Articles in Turtini can double as events when you give the article a type named "Event" or "Events". Once the type matches, the editor surfaces an extra section to add one or more dates — and downstream features (the Calendar block on your site, the auto-drip social posts, the Recent Articles "hide past events" filter) all light up automatically.
Setting up an event type:
1. Articles → Settings → Article types
2. Create a type with the name "Event" or "Events" (case doesn't matter — "EVENT", "events", "Event" all work). The plain word matters; "Town Events" or "Eventbrite" won't trigger event mode.
3. Save
Creating an event-typed article:
1. New article → set the type to your Event/Events type → an "Event date(s)" section appears under the type selector
2. Click "Add date" to add a date entry. Each entry has:
• Start (date or datetime)
• End (optional — for multi-hour or multi-day spans)
• All-day toggle (when on, only the date matters; the time component is hidden)
• Location name (e.g. "Selden Market") — appears in the calendar invite
• Map / details URL (optional) — turns the location into a link in the calendar popup
3. Add multiple entries for recurring events, conference sessions, multi-day festivals, etc.
4. Save / publish as you would any article
What event dates unlock:
• Calendar block (site builder) — every event-typed article shows on a month grid; clicking one offers Google Calendar + .ics downloads
• Recent Articles "Hide past events" — filter past dates out of your latest list automatically
• Social drip — when this article is auto-posted to your socials, the date and location are appended to the post body
Naming flexibility:
Org admins can have other type names alongside Event/Events — say "Press Release", "Recap", "Newsletter". Only articles assigned to the Event/Events type get the date picker; everything else stays normal.
