Help - Events
How do I submit an event for inclusion on the site?
First of all, you'll need to get an account for the Medsin site and be logged in. Then, simply navigate to the Upcoming Events listing (under 'Get Involved' -> 'Local & National Events', or from the sidebar), and you'll see a link to submit a new event.
Fill out all of the details, including any contact details. The main content boxes uses Markdown for text formatting. You can find out more about it.
If the event is happening at a branch, and/or involves a project or campaign, make sure you select the appropriate items from the lists. This ensures that the event will then show up in the page of the appropriate branches, projects or campaigns, giving it prominence to people interested in those.
Once you've submitted the event it will go into the queue for approval by one of the Website Team. They will approve or reject the event, possibly with some editorial changes. Hopefully you'll see the event on the site within 24 hours. Thanks a lot!
Can I change the details after the event has been approved?
Yes! Make sure you're logged in and simply navigate back to the Upcoming Events listing. You'll see a pencil icon next to your event, which leads you to the edit box. Change anything as necessary, and voila! The event will not require additional approval.
What does entering the postcode of the event do?
In future updates to the Medsin site, entering a postcode for the event will show a map of the event's location.
