  I have a section (or structure, works both) for "events". On the archive template (see image below) I want to add a custom image in the header. The administrator needs to be able to upload the header image.
  
  [![Events page](https://i.sstatic.net/AjpTw.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/AjpTw.png)
  
  In a section/structure there is no dedicated page, so I cannot assign custom fields to it. How do I tackle this problem?

  There are three ways you can make that page editable:
  
  1. Create ["Global" custom fields](https://craftcms.com/docs/globals) which are then pulled into that specific template. This may not be overly intuitive for the administrator, however, and clutters up the Global settings pages.
  2. Make the page a ["Single"](https://craftcms.com/docs/sections-and-entries#section-types) which has the custom fields applied there
  3. Make the page an additional ["Page Type"](https://craftcms.com/docs/sections-and-entries#entry-types) within your structure (or channel) – so your structure might be made up of "Event List Pages" and "Event Pages". This new page type can have a different set of fields to the other page types. You can place the "Event List" at the root of the structure and individual events underneath – this has the added benefit of fitting in nicely with breadcrumbs and menu navigation, and it also easy for administrators to find where to edit the page.
