General Sailing - scale powered and sail all welcome. 15 January 2023

Note: PLEASE BE PATIENT WHEN SAVING AND EDITING FORMS WITH PICTURES AS IT TAKES A WHILE TO PROCESS ALL THE DATA

Note: Please select the type of event from the Event Type dropdown list. Race days should normally be added from within the Race Series form unless they are "one off" races, for example if they are a race against another club.

As a minimum you need to add the Start Date and Title to ensure the event is scheduled on the Calendar page. The Start Time, End Date, End Time, Location and Description are all optional information. If one wishes to add or change the Location on this form, the drop down list contains all the Locations set up already. If the Location hasn't already been set up it will need to be created before it can be entered here. Save this form, then select Event Locations from the Administration menu on the left of the page and select the "Add a new location" link to do this. You can then return to this page using the navigation trail at the top of the page.

The Description field can contain "wiki markup" to format it. Instructions on how to use "wiki markup" can be found at the bottom of this form.

Note: In order to add pictures click on the "Add Another" button. Then click on the "Upload file" link to invoke the dialogue for uploading a picture. In the dialogue box click the "Choose file" button. Navigate to the location on your computer where the picture is stored, select the picture file and click on the "Open" button. This will return you to the "Upload file" dialogue. In the "file description box, change the "Destination filename" of the selected file to be the caption you wish the picture have, but keep the ".jpg" or similar extension information. The caption can contain alphanumeric characters, underscores and dashes only, as for a file name. You do not have to complete any of the other information. Then click the "Upload file" button at the bottom of the dialogue box to upload your picture. This process can be repeated for each picture you wish to upload. On the picture upload line clicking the "+" icon allows inserting a new line before the current one and clicking the "x" icon will delete the current line.

Note: The Publication Date determines when an item will be reported on the news list. If the date is in the future it will not appear until that date. If the date is in the past, the item will only appear if it is one of the last fifty news items before today's date. IF NO DATE IS ENTERED THIS ITEM WILL NEVER APPEAR ON THE NEWS LIST.
