Calendar

I took the liberty of updating the Calendar on the forum with all the SCCAMPERS rallys.
 
Of course there are typos, but I can't edit the listings.....

Hey that's pretty cool did not know we had this little tool available

I would like to suggest that anyone that post a rally in the future that they also add it here  Very handy :-()

Nice feature. However, I see two problems with it.
 
First, you have the GWBR Rally in May put in for May 11th. It actually runs from May 27th through the 31st. I didn't see any way I could edit an entry put in by someone else.
 
Second, and this may be of more importance, it appears to me that this calendar is site-wide. By that I mean it appears there is a single calendar for all of ArveeClub.com, not a calendar specific to the SCCampers club area. Could be wrong, but I did not see a distinction.

you are correct inthat is is a site wide calendar.  But SCCampers rule this site!!
 
Yes the calendar won't let you OR ME edit the posts.  I have emailed the webmeister to see if there is a way to edit them.
 
Just try to help

I was trying to help. :p
 
I see what you mean. I first thought you meant you couldn't edit the original post for a given rally (unless it is yours.) You meant you couldn't edit the post of a particular event in the Calendar?? That's wierd.
 
Another feature that would be nice to have (if this calendar is going to gain widespread use) would be an easy way to add a given rally to it. Say, a checkbox [Add to SCCampers Calendar] that is available to the OP when creating a thread. Wonder if that is a feature.

then you would have to enter all the info in the original thread. the date etc.  To input the rally sreally isn't that hard.  For some I copied the description of the rally onto the calendar, some not...  I will let you know what I find out about editing.
 
Maybe he needs another moderator!! :eyecrazy::compumad:

FYI
I found this on the FAQ tab

Calendars
You will see a 'Calendar' link near the top of the forums (if this option is enabled by the administrator). By default, the forums will have one Calendar that can be viewed and used by all members.

Members can add upcoming events that might interest the community. You can also sign up to get email alerts about upcoming events.

In addition, the administrator could create additional private calendars for individual members or for specific user groups.

How do I add an event to the Calendar?

If you have the appropriate permissions, there will be a box on the Calendar labelled 'Add New Event'. The administrator may have enabled registered members to post public events, but usually this is not the case. It's more likely that you can only post your own private events that can only be seen by you.

There are three types of event that can be added to a calendar:

Single, All Day Event - an event that takes place for the whole of a day.
Ranged Event - events that have a defined start time and end time, not necessarily both on the same day.
Recurring Event - repeat over a set period of time based on certain criteria. Examples would be an event that occurs on the first Monday of every month and an event that occurs every Monday and Wednesday.
Just choose the appropriate option for the event you are adding, fill in the required information, then save the event. It will now appear on the Calendar.
