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 and Contact sections..... [TBC]
##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.
