Installation and Setup of the Event Platform

An event organizing team can use the Event Platform in at least three different ways:

1. With a fresh install of Drupal, they can install the event_platform_olivero submodule to install all the submodules and place the available blocks in the intended places
2. If using a custom theme, they can install the main module to activate all submodules but not place any blocks
3. If they only want to use some of the capabilities provided by the Event Platform, they can selectively install one or more submodules

Once the necessary modules are installed, the most important step is to populate the Event Details form at /admin/structure/config_pages/event_details/edit within your site. If you have installed the Event Platform Olivero submodule (and are using the Olivero theme) then you should see a prompt to access this form at the top of your home page. The information entered here will be used in ways within the site, including custom blocks and email templates.

You will likely want to further customize the content of your website, and you may also want to tweak the roles and permissions, but your site should now be functionally ready to start accepting session submissions.
