Show Link to detail page:
Select if you wish to link to the detail page through icons or the

icons only if you had set the width at the layout settings.
Format date:
Use the php strftime syntax here to format the date. For example
the following code '%d.%m.%Y' shows '25.05.2006'. More information can be found in the
php strftime
manual.
Keep in mind, that not all parameters might be available on your server.
Format time:
Use the php strftime syntax here to format the time. For example
the following code '%H.%M' shows '16.00'. More Information can be found in the php strftime
manual.
Name:
Fill in "h" or "Uhr" for example. This will be displayed behind the
time on the frontend. Leave blank if you don't need it.
Store IP:
In some countries it isn't legal to store the IP address of your visitors. You can disable it here.
Handle old Events:
Select one of the three options. 'Delete old Events' will delete
all Events after the number of days typed in in the box below. If
you select 'Archive old Events' the Events will moved after the
typed in days in the Archive. You only have access to the archive
if you have chosen this option.
Note that EventList triggers this cleanup action once a
day after midnight server time and only if an EventList view got a visit. If you want to make sure
that the cleanup happens, create a cronjob pointing to an EventList component view.
Get informed about new submissions by email. Select one of the three options and type in the Email address(es) of the recipient(s) separated by a comma. Useful if you have disabled autopublishing.

Type in the maximum height of the image. This value is also used on
the Frontend.

Enable Thumbnails:
EventList can create thumbnails if the GD library version 2 is
installed on your server. If it isn't available this feature will be disabled.
In this case the above typed in hight and width values will be used to resize the
images if they are larger than these values. Keep in mind that this method results
in a much lower quality than using the GD library. Also the file size of the images aren't reduced.
Edit Keywords:
Select in the box multiple keywords.
Edit Description:
In the textbox you can create your own custom metadescription. Use the suggest button for a hint.
The description is created in the Event edit screen and within the Event submission process from the Frontend
