Joomla User Manual

Purpose¶

The Event schema type helps search engines better understand event information. See the Schema Org Event type for more information.

The schema provides search engines with information such as:

• Image for the event
• Event Name
• Event Summary/Hook/Description
• Event Start Date
• Event Location Details
• Event Organizer Details - the type is either an organization or a person who is not organizing on behalf of an organization

Open an article edit form and select the Schema tab to select a Schema type and set the data for that type. If a Schema Type is not present in the list its Plugin may be disabled. The values to be entered in each field are mostly self-evident.

The Generic Field section allows Title and Value pairs to be entered in addition to the default fields.
