Displaying various page types in a Calendar web part

The Event calendar web part can not only display Event (booking system) pages, but also pages of any other type that have a date-time field. All you have to do is specify the date-time field in the Date field property of the web part. This way, you can, for example, display news in a calendar according to their publish date.

In the following example, you will learn how to use the Event calendar web part to display news from the News section of the sample Corporate Site.

The following is an example showcasing a certain usage scenario. Adjust the scenario to achieve desired results.

Select the News page in the content tree.
Place the Event calendarweb part on the page. A Web part properties (Event calendar)dialog opens.
