= Activity or Course Events =

Activities or courses consist of a series of actual sessions, called events. Once the initial page has been created, the [[Website Team]] would like you to add, update and delete events. If you feel uncomfortable with this idea, the [[Website Team]] can update the event information for you based on your instructions.

== Adding a New Event ==

To add a new event:

#Create a new event category, if necessary.
##Log into Joomla Administration [http://christchurchchislehurst.com/new/administrator/index.php here]
##Select '''Components>JEvents>Category Manager'''
##Select 'New' (orange plus sign in the top right corner) and complete the requested information, choosing an appropriate 'parent' (whenever possible.) Ensure colour is set to whilte.
##Select 'Save and Close' to return to the JEvents '''Category Manager '''menu; then select 'Control Panel' in the upper left corner to return to the JEvents top menu
#To create an Event within an already existing Category (if you're not sure whether an appropriate Category exists or not select '''Manage Category '''to view all), whether recurring, periodic, or one-off:
##Log into Joomla Administration [http://christchurchchislehurst.com/new/administrator/index.php here]
##Select '''Components>JEvents>Manage Events'''
##Select 'New' (orange plus sign in the top right corner)
##There are two tabs: Common and Calendar.  In the 'Common' tab
###Name the event and select your name as the Creator.  
###Choose the appropriate Category and include a short Description or a link to a description already included in the website (using the Link button.)
###In the Location section [TBC...]. In the Contact section, click the JTree link button (a chain over a piece of paper)and click the + sign by Menu, and again by Contact menu, and select the contact.
##In the Calendar tab
###Unless it's an All-day or Unspecified Time event, enter the start & end dates [these will almost always be the same date) and the start & end times.  
###If its a recurring event, indicate the Multi Day Event Treatment (should it appear on the calendar for each day of the event or just the start and end dates).  
###Then specify the Repeat Type (eg weekly, monthly etc)
####For Daily events, choose the Interval and then either the Count or the Date until which is will run; then choose the day or days of the event (eg, Mon, Tues, or Weds & Thurs etc)
####For Weekly events, choose the Interval (1=every week, 2=every other week etc); then select either the number of events or the end date.  Lastly, select the days of the week the event occurs (eg, M-W-F or just Fridays etc) 
####For Monthly, select Intervals (1=every month. 2=every other month etc); select Count or Until date; and lastly select dates (eg. every 5th of the month) or days (eg, every Weds in the 1st, 3rd and 5th weeks of the month)
####For Yearly, choose Interval (1=every year, 2=every other year); then select Count or Until date; and lastly, if applicable, select Year Day (eg, the 1st of every year or the 137th day of every year)
###For exceptions to your otherwise recurring event, select '''Components>JEvents>Manage Events.  '''Locate the event you want to edit and click on the blue/white star under the repeat heading. An Event Summary will appear; select the event dates  you wish to delete by ticking the box to the left.  Then select the Delete button in the top right corner.  Choose CPanel to return to the main JEvents menu.

== Updating an Existing Event ==

To update an existing event:

#From the main Joomla menu select '''Components>JEvents>Manage Events'''
#Locate and click on the event you wish to edit
#Edit the sections within either the Common or Calendar tabs as appropriate
#Click Save in the top right corner

== Deleting or Unpublish an Existing Event ==

To delete or Unpublish an existing event:

#From the main Joomla menu select '''Components>Manage Events'''
#From the Event Summary, select the Event you wish to delete or unpublish by ticking the box to the left of the event
#Choose either Delete (for an event that is unlikely to recur) or Unpublish (for an event that may recur again at some point)
#Choose CPanel to return to the main JEvents menu

Website Contact Guidelines

2.27.106.80: /* Adding a New Contact */

Contacts are a special page in Joomla! for centrally managing the contact details instead of including them article pages where they are more difficult to keep consistent. While the Website Team would typically create contacts, registered users with appropriate rights may update them.

= Adding a New Contact =

To add a new contact:

#Reformat the contact photo using an image processing software package such as [http://paint.net/ Paint.NET] so that the image width is 190 pixel (width subject to design change).
#Convert the image to black and white if it is a colour photo.
#Save in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG JPEG format] using a quality setting of 90 and name it so it is consistent with this example: ''michael-adams.jpg''.
#Login to [http://www.christchurchchislehurst.com/new/administrator back end of website].
#Go to '''Content>Media Manager'''.
#Upload the photo to the '''Media>Contacts''' folder.
#Go to '''Components>Contacts>Contacts'''.
#Select '''New'''.
#In the '''New Contact Form''', complete the following fields:
##''Name'': Please put the first name before the last name. E.g. Sarah Baker, not Baker, Sarah.
##''Linked User'' (if the user has a login on the website)
##''Category''
##''Other information'' (if you would like to provide some background information about the user).
#In the '''Contact Details''' section on the right, complete as many fields as possible, in particular:
##''Image;'' Select the photo that you just uploaded.
##''Email''
##''Mobile''
##''Telephone''
#It should not be necessary to complete or update the other sections on the right.
#Select ''Save&Close''.

Now the contact is created but in order to make it easy to link to the contact from article pages, a menu item has to be created for the contact.

To create the menu item:

#Go to '''Menus>Contacts Menu>Add New Menu Item'''.
#In the '''New Menu Item''' form, complete the following fields:
##''Menu Item Type'': Click select and choose ''Single Contact''.
##''Menu Title'': Enter the full name of the contact as entered in the contact form.
##In the '''Required Settings''' section on the right, complete ''Select Contact'' by clicking on ''Change Contact'' and selecting the corresponding contact.
#It should not be necessary to complete or update the other sections on the right.
#Select ''Save&Close''.

= Link to a Contact =

In order to link to a Contact from an article:

#In the ''Article Text'', click on the JTree Link icon.
#Go to '''Link Info>Links>Menu>Contact Menu'''
#Select the contact that you would like to insert.
#Select ''OK''.
