bouche Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I've allowed all members to add music events to the calendars. If you have an event to add, please make sure it's not already there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 use the 'manage event' link near the bottom of your posting window to enter dates and times.not sure, but i think you have to have your timezone entered properly in your profile... i dunno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I've also added a Toronto listing. I can add more, but there should be some cities grouped together I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I added Hamilton too. What I like about the calenders is the fact that you can add them to your RSS aggregator's like reader.google.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I wonder if an auto-reminder feature could be added, so that when I open a topic in/from the calendar, I can click on a button that will end up sending me an e-mail (or a private topic) the day of (or before) the event.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? Do you work for Transport Canada and require "bring-forwards" for everything? sheesh Yes that would be a good feature, but if I had the time, I'd spend it on figuring out how to modify the entry interface and make it database driven first.

I agree: your time would be better spent doing that. If there's anything I can do, let me know. (One idea: have pull-downs for selecting venues and bands, that will automatically put them in the topic, spelled correctly, and linked to the venue/band website if there is one. Having a separate way to add new venues and bands [with optional URLs] would be cool, too.) Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 the best thing would be to copy punkottawa's show listing feature. the input method is perfect, but the posts need moderating for duplicates etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 The BEST way would be if this wasn't a PHP/MYSQL based system, and I could whip up a new .NET version in no time. The old sanctuary's "Watchtower" was all .NET, but the cost of hosting it on a server that didn't crash all of the time was too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 I'm really glad to see promoters using the calendar listings forums. Don't forget to click on "Manage events" in your topic posting page. Can you see that button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry_llama Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is it just me? I don't see any events on the calendar under "public events" or under "hamilton". Should "public events" show me all the events in every location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry_llama Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ohhh.... I was using the calendar button at the top. I see the listings under the forum list now... I usually just come straight to the Cavern via bookmark ;-)Getting to the listings is not totally intuitive though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 if you start at the home page it is, there is a lot of content on this site besides the Cavern. Bouche has organised it so that people hopefully spend time everywhere, like the featured reviews and articles.hopefully the calendars catch on!

bouche Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Public events is just a default calendar from what I can tell.I've been coming to this site for many years (go figure) and my path to the cavern is www.jambands.ca>sanctuary>cavern. In that Sanctuary (or forum index) you can see what forums have new posts. "Foodeeze has posts? I'm going in there!", I also have the YouTube videos (via RSS) on my Google homepage so I can see what new videos skanks have posted.You can now do the same with those listings and subscribe to the feeds.
