Events URL slug
If you need to change the address of your Events Calendar for some reason, this is where you would do that. In the example listed above the calendar is located at http://www.domain.com/events (you can change the “events” part) – Only do this if you have a REASON to do so as this may cause issues with some of your links and menus.
Single event URL slug
If you need to change the address of your individual events in the calendar for some reason, this is where you would do that. – Only do this if you have a REASON to do so as this may cause issues with some of your links and menus.
End of day cutoff
Leave this setting alone unless you have a reason to change it. This option will change the way the calendar deals with all day events and multi day events.
Default currency symbol

Currency symbol follows value
If you need to change the location of the currency symbol, you can do that here.
Enable Google Maps
If you are entering addresses into your event venues, a Google Map will appear in the event listing to make finding your event easy for your community. This toggles the map option on and off.
Google Maps default zoom level
If you want your google map more or less zoomed in, you can do that with this setting. Default is 10. 1 is very zoomed out, 21 is all the way zoomed in.
Miscellaneous Settings
It is best to leave these settings alone unless you have been instructed to use them, or if you know exactly what you are doing.
