Just as you can embed links to documents and images in your web-pages, you can also create links to registration events. Links to registration events will essentially “Run” the registration activity in a manner appropriate to the type of event definition. To create a link to an event definition:
| • | Highlight some text or an image in the editor that when clicked on will jump to the registration event. |
| • | Select the “Insert/Edit Hyperlink” button from the top panel of the on-line editor (this is the same icon that you used to create a link to a document) |
| • | When the insert link pop-up dialog opens as shown below, select the "Page on this site" icon and expand the “Events and Activities” selector to view the event definition that you want to link to. |
| • | Click “Insert” to apply this change to your document, and then save your document to commit these changes to the document library. |
As savvy readers will have gathered, (and all NeatClubs users are of course very savvy! :-) events will always have a unique URL associated with them of the form http://sitename.com/event.php?id=XX where XX represents the unique event ID. It is quite straightforward to link directly to event descriptions from any web-page in the system using a custom URL as well. Note that by following the process above, the system has simply generated the URL /event.php?id=14 in our example.
Linking to an event on our website from another site is similarly straightforward, but it does require you to know the URL for the event. As stated earlier, the fully qualified URL for all events will be of the form http://sitename.com/event.php?id=xx.
Another easy way to obtain the event URL is to access the event definition from the web-site using the “View Events & Classes” option under Calendar & Events, and click on the “Play” symbol in the second column that Runs the event definition.
You can then cut and paste the URL that appears in your browser when the event is run,
