The Calendar in NeatClubs is integrated with event management as understands things like recurring classes, featured events, calendar postings and registration deadlines. As long as the calendar enabled for your site (this is done in the Side Menu Setup) , Calendar & Events will appear as a menu option. The administrator will always have visibility to the calendar.
A sample calendar is shown below
Note that calendar entries can have different background colors associated with them and can optionally display different graphical symbols that have different meanings. For users logged in as system administrators, or regular users with permissions to add calendar events, you will see a graphical “+” symbol appear beside the date on the calendar (see below).
Click on the "Add" symbol makes it easy to add new entries to the calendar. Users can navigate from month to month using the next or previous arrow buttons or the by selecting a different month or year from the pull-down selectors at the top of the calendar.
When an administrator is logged in, they can also edit or delete postings (or events) directly from the calendar.
Please be careful when deleting events from the calendar interface. This will delete not only the calendar posting, but the event itself - this is a bad thing if you have already received registrations against the event!
Finally, in addition to viewing calendar postings and events of various types in a calendar format, they can also be viewed in an "Upcoming Events" format as shown below.
This is an important feature since maintaining current schedules is a challenge for most web-site administrators. Because NeatClubs stores events in a database and understands when events are taking place, the upcoming events will always be shown automatically saving the website administrator from having to constantly update the site. Older events simply disappear from the default view once they are past (although site visitors retain the option to look at past events as well)
