I have enabled an events calendar, how do you populate it with events ?
Events are added via the public pages of the website - not the admin backend.
If you're logged in when you view the calendar you'll see different buttons to add an event depending on which calendar view you're in.
- In the List view there's an Add an event button below the list.
- In the other views you will see a button in each day/time slot to add an event on this day/time.
There's more information in the documentation (which is in the process of being updated and improved).
Thanks

Thanks Joe
I worked that out in the end but I want to add the events calendar to the bottom of the home page, not a seperate page. I cant do that because the event includlet does not appear in the list when I try to include it.
The includelet options available seem context sensitive.
Why is this ?

You can't add the Events Calendar to another page (nor can you add any other Application to another page) - they all have their own pages.
To show events on your homepage use the Upcoming Events includelet. It is available to use in any Slot on any content page, and shows events from the Calendar.
This the includelet used on the homepage of the Demo Site to show events.
Thanks

I have added an Event Calendar to our Meninshedswinslow.org.uk site but intrigued as to why there is an event list at the top of the home page before I even included the Upcoming Events includelet. Can I remove the list at the top of the home page??
Also.. is it possible to show times of the event in the Upcoming Includelet.
Apologies if I've missed a setting.
There's an Upcoming Events indludelet added by default to the homepage of new sites, in the Right column. Includelets don't do anything if there's nothing to show, which is why it didn't appear before you created some events in your calendar.
So you can remove this, or move it to a more suitable place, as you see fit!
There are various options for the includelet, like how many events to show, and whether to show image/description, but I'm not sure if there's an option for showing the time.
Please do have an experiment with it and report back! :-)
Thanks

Ah ha... one could say that was a 'hidden agenda!'
Thanks but I cannt see any way of adding the event times to the Upcoming events Includelet (would be nice).
