How to add an Event
Our site is based primarily on allowing Australian event organisers to promote their events.
You must be registered and logged in to create an event.
Important:
If you are a community organization and would love other members in your establishment to be able to edit your event, choose a communal username and password that the your entire team has access to. That way, if you need to leave the project, someone else on your team can edit your event name, date, information, etc.
Steps to create an event:
1) First Advise Us that you would like to add an event, we will then alter your permissions
2) After a reply from us go to Events Calendar and just underneath the calendar click on - Add an Event
3) Fill in the information asked of you.
4) Click on the Calendar tab to change dates whilst creating your event. (The two tabs read ‘common’ and calendar’.
5) If you need to edit your event, log in and click on your event.
6) At the top right of the event title click on the edit icon (image of a pencil and paper).
You can edit your event in the same fashion that you created it by (filling in details).
