Description
The Advent Calendar addon converts EventON events into advent-style calendar boxes, revealing each event’s information only on the scheduled date of each square. The extension controls which eventCard fields remain hidden before the date, displays a configurable notice for past events, and lets you distribute images, videos, text, download links, coupons, and event details day by day throughout the campaign.
