Hi - Here are the steps required to post an event to the Calendar:
1. You must have registered already with the messageboard
2.
You MUST use a real name and email address so we can contact you and know who you are if you are to be allowed to post an event to the Calendar (for obvious reasons!)
3. email me
brill07@timandrew.co.uk and ask to be able to post event to the calendar
4. Wait for me to change your permissions to "Calendar Contributor"
5. follow steps below to post
Say you want to add recycling days for the whole year, then
go to:
1 -
http://brilltalk.brillvillage.co.uk/index.php?action=calendar2 - click on "Post Event" at bottom of page
3 - Write something brief like "Paper, Glass, Plastic Recycling" in the Event Title box
4 - select correct date/month/year
5 - UNcheck the box "Link Event To Post" Because there's not much to say about that event!
6 - click Post - that's it
(you'll have to repeat this for every recycling day of the year, but it's suprisingly quick to do!)
NOW if you wanted to say more about an event
5 - CHECK the box "Link Event To Post"
6 - select the message area you want the event to be linked to by clicking "Post to"
(A - if the event is in the next few weeks choose "Brilltalk - News" so that a resume will appear on the website's home page)
(B - if the event is a long way ahead choose "Brilltalk - Calendar" so you can write some blurb and possibly include a poster or pic. Otherwise the news page would be filled up with events that are too far ahead)
Alternatively:
If the post/message already exists anywhere on the messageboard and you think it should be linked to the calendar
1- Click on message to get the full message content
2 - Look towards bottom of page; there's a strip of buttons. Click on "Link to Calendar"
3 - On next page fill in "Event title"
4 - select correct date/month/year
5 - click "Save"
Remember that if you want to edit an entry later, you can go to the calendar and click the little
RED star next to the event.
Thanks and happy posting!!!
