Events

Background

The events database is a place for LGNZ Staff members and general public to view events on and in the local government sector.

It assumes that the person entering the event is not necessarily the contact for the event, on the basis that many of the events will be added by LGNZ staff for other agencies.

 

Adding Events

Public / Non Privileged LGNZ Staff

  4. Once Form Entry Complete, Press "Add Event" button.

Privileged LGNZ Staff

 

  1. Login to Admin Page
  2. Choose Add Event
  3. Fill In Form (as per public method)
    - Event Name: Needs to be short and "pithy". This is used for the "Events" calender. So "Conference" isn't enough, "Regional Development Conference" is better.
    - There is the option to have a "request more information" form added to an event. This form will e-mail the contact e-mail address, so if there is no contact e-mail address it's best not to add the form.
    - Dates: (Start and End Date) Format required dd/mm/yy
    - Contact Info is published, "your info" is not
    - Contact Email: paste in the email address only eg: info@lgnz.co.nz
    - Website : Copy and paste in the full website address (URL) of the event
  4. Publish will add the event to the "Events" calendar. (/events/) and make live links of the website url and contact emails
  5. Done
