editsked.html

This will look much like http://bartonarts.org/backroom.html (the Back Room page on the web site viewed by the public) with two differences:

1. the dates are underlined. Clicking on that date will bring you to an editgig.html page where you can change or delete the information.
2. there's a button for adding a new event. Clicking on this will bring you to a clean editgig.html page where you can add the information.

Past events will disappear automatically. You need not and should not delete past events. The only reason to delete an event is if it is cancelled before happening. The only events you will be able to edit are future events.

Date of Event

This is the most important thing to put in. You may use any standard American form for entering the date (4/10/01 is one way). You must enter the first date. The second date space is only for multi-date events. If it is a one-day event, this should be left blank. However, if it is a multi-date event, put that in the second box. Entry is like the starting date.

Time of Event

Like most things on this form, this is optional. It will appear as you type it. The second box is for an ending time, not for a second set. Enter the second time if you know when the event will end. Normally, the second one will be blank.

Event name

This is what will appear in bold. It can be the name of the venue if there is no event name. This should be entered for each event.

Event URL

If you know the URL for more information about the event, put it here. Be sure to include the http:// portion of the URL. If you don't know a URL, leave this field blank. More about this at the bottom of this page.

Phone number

If there is one, enter the full phone number (including area code) for the PUBLIC to call for more about this event. As with most fields, this is freeform. What you type is what they'll see.

E-mail

If there is one, enter the e-mail address the PUBLIC can use for inquiries about this event.

Note 1

Enter any additional information about this event that you want in regular size type. You can also enter the following “code”

<i>	turn on italicizing
</i>	turn off italicizing
<b>	turn on bold
</b>	turn off bold
<br>	force a new line
<p>	new line, then blank line
<hr>	horizontal rule (insert straight line)

Note 2

Enter any information about this event that you want in smaller type like this. Again, you may use the “code” in the table above.

Type of event

This drop-down menu defaults to a blank. Change it to the type of event. If you need or want another choice on this drop-down, let me know.

Submit button

When you've finished adding or editing the event, hit the submit button and you'll go to the editappr.html page where you'll be able to see that event as it will appear on the schedule.

Cancel this concert button

Use with caution! If you hit this button, that event will be removed from the data base. If this happens accidentally, you'll need to add it as a new event. Do not delete events simply because they are in the past. These will automatically move from the Upcoming Performances page to a Past Performances page one day after the event.
