CSS configuration available in the parameters of the Event Portal or on an individual Event Record. This CSS is configured to work with Bootstrap 4 so if you are uploading your own custom CSS you must ensure that it is compatible with this. If however you do not already have your own Bootstrap 4 CSS file that can be used we have provided you with information below on configuration and storage.

Sample File

We have created a sample SCSS file that has been specifically designed for our Event Management Portal. This is available for download here. Alterations can then be made to the SCSS file amending the names of the colours being used within the file then compile the file to become a CSS file. 

Instructions of how to compile a CSS file from the SCSS file can be found in the comments at the top of the file.

How should I store my amended CSS File?

Once you have downloaded and amended the Sample File we recommend that you store this in the Workbooks Upload Library, you will need to ensure that the public resource checkbox is checked. If this is not checked this CSS will only be available to Workbooks users.

Once you have uploaded the file this will generated an External URL. This URL will need to be set in one of two places depending on how you want to use this. If this CSS will be applied to all Events then this URL needs to be entered into the Custom CSS Parameter within the Event Management Plugin, however if this is only going to apply to a single Event then it will need to be added to the Custom CSS Field on the Event Record.

Additional Changes to the Event Management CSS

We have outlined below all of the elements within the Event Management Portal and all of the aspects that can be changed with the CSS File. This will provide you with the ability to retain the look and feel of your website within the Event Portal so it appears as a seamless transition for any user.

General layout

Screen Width
.container - controls the width of the content, uses @media queries to specify the max-width based on the width of the browser.

The light grey background is defined by the bg-light class - note: this class also defines the alternating sections when showing the details for an event.

The "Upcoming events" title and the name of the event for other pages are defined using a <h1> tag which can be modified, the black border that gets added when there is a banner image is not currently configurable.

When showing a page for a specific event, the date and time defined using a <h3> tag which can be modified, this also has the subheader class which but as above, the black border cannot be changed.

List of all events

The dates in the timeline use the following classes:

The timeline calendar icons use the following classes:

• .timeline-point - generic properties

}
#main_content .timeline .timeline-item > .timeline-event:before {
border-left-color: green;

Event details page

General styling

Each section is defined using cards which utilises the following classes (all nested within each other):

• .card
• .card-body
• .card-title

The title is defined using a <h2> tag as well as the card-title class.

The light grey background on alternating sections are defined by the bg-light class.

Agenda Section

The table here does not have any specific classes set but this can be styled using the parent 'agenda' id. e.g.

#agenda table { ... }
#agenda table td { ... }

Speakers Section

Each speaker is defined using a card (see above) with the addition of the card-footer class that us used to style the grey background in the bar underneath the card - actually defines black with a 12.5% opacity to simply darken the footer.

The speaker image style is controlled by the speaker_img class but as this is defined within the page itself any overrides may need to be given more granularity in order to take precedence, e.g.

#speakers .speaker_img { ... }
#speakers .speaker_img img { ... }

The speaker info is defined within a speaker_info class and uses <h5> tags for the names and <small> for their details. Similarly to speaker_img, overrides to this class need to be given more granularity.

The buttons in the speaker cards use the btn-info as defined above.

The link buttons in the card footer are anchor tags that can be styled using the card-link class.

Venue Section

The information, address and directions are displayed using cards with the addition of the following classes to those mentioned above...

• .card-group - controls how the three cards sit together in one line
• .card-header - defines the grey background in the bar above the card - actually defines black with a 13% opacity to simply darken the header

Sponsors Section

Uses cards with no borders.

Select Tickets Page

The list of available tickets / products table specifies the following classes...

• .table
• .table-sm
• .table-striped

These three classes are then used in conjunction with the with appropriate child HTML elements to style the table, including striping the rows.

Order details

Uses cards and bg-light for the layout.

The item count in the Cart is defined as a badge (see List of all events) but this one uses the badge-info class to define the colours.

Confirmation / Payment page

The Customer and Event details are defined using cards.

The Customer card defines both the text-white and bg-info classes which sets the background colour and white text (the header then being 13% opacity black over the top).

The Event card defines both the text-white and bg-secondary classes which sets the background colour and white text (the header then being 13% opacity black over the top).

The tickets / products table is styled the same as for the Select tickets page.

The payment button uses the btn-info class

Attendees page

The individual attendee forms are defined as cards (see above)

The cards also have the border-info class set to colour just the border and then use the text-white and bg-info classes for colour the header.

When the attendee details are specified then the header uses the bg-success class to set the background colour which is what turns if green.
