editsked.html

This will look just like http://bartonarts.org/calendar/ (the schedule page on your 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 move from your schedule page to a past events page automatically. You need not and should not delete past events. Instead, they will be available on another page called http://bartonarts.org/calendar/pastgigs.html which will show past events in reverse chronological order. Therefore, 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. If there's a need to make a change on a past event, let me know and I'll do it for you.

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.

Venue

If you did NOT use the venue name for the event name and wish to include the venue name as well, enter it here. Otherwise, leave it blank.

Street

If you know the street address (or street intersection) for the venue, enter it here. Otherwise, leave it blank. The mapper page will work best if you do have a street address. Addresses like “1025 Main” or “Eleventh & Main” should work equally well.

City

IMPORTANT: Enter the name of the city only (unless it is not a US or Canadian city, in which case you should enter city, [province], country)

State

If the city is not in the US or Canada, leave this blank. Otherwise, use the OFFICIAL 2-letter abbreviation for the state or Canadian province.

Country

This will default to the United States unless previously changed. If Canada or elsewhere, choose the appropriate one.

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.

Special 1

This drop-down menu defaults to the normal display for your group. However, sometimes an artist/group is performing with a larger or smaller group and this should be noted. 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.
