The new Events section has just gone live.
This was the next on my list of sections to rewrite as part of the ongoing site rebuild; and having looked at the old system I realised it was ridiculously complicated. The new system is a lot simpler to browse; but also makes it a lot easier to add events, so:
- Event location can be entered simply by typing the first few letter of a mine/quarry then selecting it from a list of results (like Google etc. work)
- Event dates are now selectable using a date selector
But it's also a lot more flexible. If an event isn't at a mine/quarry from the database, like a talk at a village hall or wherever you can simply select 'add this event at a different location' give the location a name and select the location from a Google map.
You're welcome to use the Events page to promote non-AN events as well. Feel free to use it to promote club events; just select "Advertising for my club - members only or see notes" and people won't be able to sign up on the event listing. Remember to include some notes to say who can attend if this applies!
I
think it all works. There's been quite a few days work on this module and it's been a bit rushed getting it live. If there any problems I'm afraid I won't be able to fix them for a few weeks 'cos I won't be here :lol:
Enjoy :flowers:
my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by
