New Calendar!

[Sally]

We now have a calendar to post marts, fairs, shows, etc--thanks, Crystal!! It looks like anyone can post an event, so go ahead and try it out.

Sally,with the calendar you should have Hilary change the permissions on it so that only admin & mods can post events on it.
otherwise it is open to abuse.
best idea would be to have somewhere for people to inform you of upcoming events and then one of your team enters the detail.

Sounds like more work

[mickp]

it is more work
but very much worth doing
I learnt the hard way with that calendar on the other forum

[Sally]

Thanks, mick, I will mention it to Hilary. I already told her (when I thought only mods would be able to enter events) that I would be happy to keep up with it. It only takes a few minutes to enter each event. We could always have people PM me, or better yet, we could just have people post it in Events in the Marketplace, then one of us could go thru regularly and transfer the information to the calendar.

[Hilary]

I agree. If folks continue to post events in the Events section of Marketplace, we (um, probably mostly Sally ) can update the calendar itself. Given that we do periodically get hit by spammers it's a good idea to limit access.

It looks as if the option is no longer available to regular members.

[Sally]

Sorry, Domenic, you are locked out now (as is everybody else), but if you have something you want posted, just start a thread in Events under Marketplace, and I will put it on the calendar for you.

Sally or Liz, create a topic that is either a sticky or announcement that tells people what is required for events they wish to be listed and where to list them
