Adding and Editing an Event

Events are:

  • something happening:  a single one-off event or can be recurring (daily, weekly, annually etc)
    • can be for a specific duration or all-day
  • of one of more clubs
  • in a specific location – sports centre,MUGA etc

A monthly calender shows of events from all clubs.

Club users can add/edit events for their club only. Site Administrators and Editors can modify/delete all events

Using the WordPress Dashboard to add/edit events

Probably not necessary however events can also be managed using the WordPress dashboard. Login to the system and select Events. Choose Single or Recurring Events as required.

Emailshots and Events

Adding any type of Event never kicks off an emailshot. To use the emailshot system to advertise an event do the following:

  1. Create and Publish the Event
    1. View the post in your browser and Copy the URL
  2. Create a new Post
    1. Within the text of the Post create some text e.g. “View the Event Here”
    2. Highlight the text, click on the Insert/Edit Link button and copy the URL from step 1A into the URL box
    3. Save by Clicking Add Link
    4. Preview the Post, correct errors and Publish when ready
