Calendars Now Show Dated Community News Items

The home page and full page calendars have now been enhanced to show entries made in the Community News section, when those entries have a date associated with them. This means that such news items now function more like conventions "Events".

Full-Page Calendar of Events Now Available

For some time DanceWeb has had a calendar feature on the Home page; the small calendar shows 6 weeks, with days having events highlighted with a contrasted background colour. When the mouse is moved over such a day, a drop-down appears with a summary of the Events for that day.

The additional new Full-Page Calendar shows similar information, but displayed on a dedicated whole page. The summary details of the Events are permanently displayed. Clicking on an Event title then takes you a page displaying all the details.

The new calendar is in the menu system under "browse", and also links from the title bar of the home-page calendar.

It can be viewed directly here:

Event Calendar Added to DanceWeb Home Page

DanceWeb has supported dated Dance Events for many years; we have now added to the home page a simple to use Calendar of events for the next six weeks. If you are in a subsite (Linedance or Salsa etc) then only the events for that genre are displayed. A yellow cell is visible if there are any events on a specific day; just run your mouse over the cell, and a drop-list list appears, with a summary of each event. Click on any item in the list, and the full details are shown in a new window. The initial display is of the events for the next six weeks, but by clicking on the >> symbols in the header, you can page through to the next six-week block.

Note to Event Organisers: When you add an event to DanceWeb, it is not just displayed in the new home page Calendar! It is also shown in:

1. The home page block of "New Dance Events".
2. The News Page of "New Dance Events".
3. The RSS Feed of "New Dance Events".
4. The Blog of New Content.
5. The DanceWeb Mapplet
6. Any search that is relevant to event dance activity.
