F.A.Q.

How do I add content to my website using the database modules?

You can access your online admin panel at http://www.yourdomainname/admin/

Log in with your username and password.

To Add Events:

1. Under the Active Modules menu, click Events [Add]

2. Enter the information for your event (you don't have to complete all the fields - the only required ones are Heading, Date events starts, City and Full Description).

3. Click to submit (your event will now display on the website)

 NOTES:

1. You only need to enter an End Date if it is different to the Start Date (in other words, the event takes place over more than one day) 

2. When you click on Start Date or End Date, a pop-up calendar will appear for you to make your selection. 

3. The Full Description field works similar to a word processor - you can make text  bold, change font size, add pictures, etc.  It is advisable not to make too many changes to the fonts to keep the appearance of the website similar. 

4. The Events page on the 'public' part of the website automatically does not display events that are already past, so you don't have to remove them yourself. 

5. If you want to change info for an event you have already added, go to Events [Update | Delete ] from the main admin page. 

6. If the "Submit to SA Churchnet" box is checked, your event details will automatically be submitted to us for possible inclusion on our SA Churchnet website.

NOTES:
