By default, this page displays all events in a calendar view. Since many SOM sites have relatively few events, we recommend changing the display to List View, which is often easier for visitors to browse.<\/p>\n
\n\nThe Month View<\/strong> displays events on a traditional calendar grid, allowing visitors to see events organized by day across an entire month. This view works well for sites with many events spread throughout the month.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nThe List View<\/strong> displays events in chronological order, similar to a blog or agenda. This format makes it easy to quickly scan upcoming events and is often more effective for sites that have relatively few events.<\/p>\n

\nUsing Syndication Cell Shortcode<\/h2>\n
A Syndication Cell<\/a> provides the most flexible way to display events.<\/p>\n
This option allows you to display:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Events from your site<\/li>\n
- Events from other SOM websites<\/li>\n
- A combination of events from multiple SOM sites<\/li>\n
- Past events<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nUsing Theme Shortcode<\/h2>\n
The SOM theme includes shortcodes for displaying events. There are 3 options that display upcoming events in different layouts.<\/p>\n
To use them:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Click the Shortcodes<\/strong> button in the editor.<\/li>\n
- Select Recent Events<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Choose from one of the three layout options.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"Screenshot](\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/webguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/419\/2026\/03\/event-display-options.png\")
<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nRecent Events<\/h3>\n
Selecting this option inserts the following shortcode:<\/p>\n
[heels-tribe-events number=\"4\"]<\/code><\/p>\nThis will display a vertical listing of events. This shortcode is configured to display the four most recent events. You can modify the number to control how many events appear.<\/p>\n
![\"Event](\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/webguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/419\/2026\/03\/recent-events.png\")
<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nRecent Events List<\/h3>\n
Selecting this option inserts the following shortcode:<\/p>\n
[heels-tribe-list number=\"4\"]<\/code><\/p>\nThis will display an alternative vertical listing that predominately displays the event date. This shortcode is configured to display the four most recent events. You can modify the number to control how many events appear.<\/p>\n
![\"Event](\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/webguide\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/419\/2026\/03\/recent-events-list.png\")
<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nRecent Events Carousel<\/h3>\n
Selecting this option inserts the following shortcode:<\/p>\n
[heels-tribe-carousel number=\"8\"]<\/code><\/p>\nThis will display a horizontal listing of events. This shortcode is configured to display the eight most recent events. You can modify the number to control how many events appear.<\/p>\n
