Setting Low up
I have added in the folowing code to my template but its giving me 404 Error everytime i click on a link:
{exp:low_events:calendar channel="school_events" date="{url_title}" show_expired="yes" show_future_entries="yes" category_group="13" category="70"}
←
{this_month format="%F %Y"}
→
{weekdays}{weekday_1}{/weekdays}
{weeks}
{days}
{if events_on_day}
{day_number}
{if:else}
{day_number}
{/if}
{/days}
{/weeks}
{/exp:low_events:calendar}
My channel is called school_events.
ALso it doesnt show the event description as well like it does in the screenshot before you buy it, is that something that needs to be created?
Thanks
Jordan

Check the docs on the Calendar tag here: http://gotolow.com/addons/low-events/...
The date="" parameter expects a date format, so something like 2017-10 for October 2017. Make sure the {url_title} variable actually translates to that. Maybe you were looking for {segment_3} or something similar.
The category_group="" parameter is not supported.
Also, the Calendar tag won't output any entry/event details, so not showing the event description sounds about right. Quoting the docs:
To output the entries, use the Entries tag instead.
As for the 404's: make sure the links you generate point to a valid template_group/template.

Hi there,
Thank you for clearing that up for me.
Also did you see the bit about the event description input box not showing in the CP?
"it doesnt show the event description as well like it does in the screenshot before you buy it, is that something that needs to be created?"
Thank you

The event description field as shown in the example screen shot is just a regular native custom field (Textarea) that EE provides. Create it yourself along with any other meta data fields you need for your events. Low Events just provides the date input fields.
