Setting Up A Local Club
In Ten Easy Steps
STEP SEVEN - PUBLISHING YOUR CLUB EVENT INFORMATION:
Alright! You’re ready to start promoting your club and meet! The first
thing you need to do is update that record you created. You can that by
visiting:
/data/cruise_admin.html
In order to get the password to CHANGE data you have to send
e-mail to the Chief Avalanche fan at
webmaster@chevyavalanchefanclub.com.
In the subject line be sure you put in all capitals “PASSWORD FOR CLUB
EDIT REQUEST”
Response time on weekdays is typically less than 24 hours. On the weekend
it may take 72 hours. You’ll be give an account and password that will
allow you access to the editing tool.
When you go to the above referenced URL, input the username and password
you were given. The easiest way to search for your club information is by
city (toward the bottom of the form). Be absolutely sure you hit
[Search/modify]
Find the entry you made and select any of the text with a single left
mouse click. This will bring up another form where you can edit the
information. Update your meeting date, time location, and descriptions.
Select [Modify] (never ever delete) and your information is now updated!
You’re not done yet! You also need to get your information on the club
calendar. You can visit the calendar by going to:
/cgi/forum/YaBB.pl?board=;action=newcalendar
Once there use the navigation buttons and go to the month your meeting is
in. Then, click on the day of the month your meeting is on. If you’re
meeting is on August 24th, you would go to the August 2002 calendar and
click directly on the 24.
If there are already events on the calendar and you’re not editing an old
item, select a blank field on the form. DO NOT overwrite any calendar
entries, even outdated ones. If no fields are available send an e-mail to
webmaster@chevyavalanchefanclub.com to get support.
Name:
This can’t be any longer than 18 characters. This is what appears on the
calendar itself and will be a link to the rest of your information. Keep
it short and descriptive. Things like Sea/Tac Cruise, Mid-Atlantic Meet,
Houston Cruise, work well. This field is required.
Repeat For:
This is how many times you want this event to repeat. You should leave
this value set at one.
Days/Weeks/Months/Years Drop Down:
Leave this set on days. This involves the Repeat function above.
Type:
This is what kind of event you’re entering on the calendar. Type should be
set to, “Meeting.”
Description:
In this field you’re going to enter your club name, the meeting date and
time, the meeting location (and all information), the description of the
meeting and your contact information. The data inputs just like on the
first two forms and supports HTML. When you’re satisfied with your
information select [Add or Change Entry #X]. Remember, DO NOT overwrite
someone else’s entry – even if it is outdated.
