RideForum.NET Calendar!

Post by **troy** » 22 Apr 2007 13:27

The much anticipated RideForum.NET Calendar feature is now live!
Click "Calendar" in the menu at top.
http://www.rideforum.net/calendar.php

Note: To see the calendar as intended, you may need to delete your temporary Internet files. For most browsers, pressing CTRL-F5 will force a full refresh. This is so you get the current version of the stylesheet which your browser has probably cached.

The way you add items to the calendar is by creating a post for the event. For example, when you post a ride in the Ride! forum, you'll see some new fields that allow you to select the day, time, and duration. If you set these fields when creating new topics, the event will be added to the calendar.

If you need to edit the date or time of an item, simply edit your post and change the fields.

When viewing the calendar, you can mouse-over the items to see the details in a small popup box. You can then click the topic title to go directly to the discussion. Cool, huh?!

I've gone back through some of the ride posts and added event dates/times so they show on the calendar.

I'm not seeing the date and time fields you are referring to Troy. Not that I will ever post anything, but I was curious how you have this calendar working. Do you need to be a moderator to post a ride date to the calendar?

Aha! Thanks for letting me know you could not see the calendar event fields. I had to enable it for "all registered" users. You should see them now.

Nice! Do we ad stuff or tell you?

All logged in users can add to the calendar. You just make a post in Ride! or the Rider's Lounge. You'll see the Event date/time/duration fields. If your post has an event with a date/time, just complete those fields. Otherwise, leave them blank. Also, you only have to enter the parts that make sense. If an event is all day, you can just pick a day.

Troy, your calendar lacks certain essential nationally recognized dates such as the start of the dual sport runs, hare scrambles or enduros in our area. Geez. How could you have forgotten?
