How can I use Happening?

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Happening is a feature that we added to the system with which you can show your own content in the RSS templates or in tickertape. This way you can show news items that you have created yourself without needing a RSS feed. When connecting Happening to the RSS template, it automatically displays the content you filled in into the Happening. For more information about showing Happening in tickertape, click here.

1. Go to [Happening] via [Media] in the left menu.
2. Press [Create] in the right corner to create a new Happening. For editing an existing one, click on the name of the existing Happening.
