KC Event calendar added

Post by KCPowercat »

After some requests, I've added an events calendar to the site....right now it's kind of being tested, so if anybody has an event they would like to add, you could help me test.

Here are the steps:

1) go to http://www.kcskyscrapers.com/kcevents/

2) That will bring up the current week's view. From there you can get the day/week/month/year by clicking on the bottom "view:" when you find the day you want to add an event to, click the "+" icon next to the date.

3) There you will enter a title, description, email address (if needed for event), website (if event has one), Category (necessary, I've added a few categories, list additional categories that should be listed in this forum or email them to me), Start/end time (if available), date (should be the date you clicked on), and if it's reoccuring.

4) Click "Add event" and then once I approve it, it will be listed on the page.

Let me know what you think about this program. You can search the events, only show certain categories of events, etc....let's keep these events based in KC area.

Pretty much I just need help with the following:

a) Comments on the user interface
b) Additional categories needed
c) If this is a helpful function of the site.

Thanks for the help in testing this....if it looks good to everybody I'll add it to the front page features and hopefully more people will add their events to the calendar.

Thanks for the help.
