A. Sign into the new Old Bridge library website.


B. On the left-hand sidebar, hover over the 'Events' button, and choose 'Add New' from the menu that pops out (see image #1). Alternately, click the 'Events' Button and then choose 'Add New' from the sub-menu that appears (see image #2).




C. On the "Add New Event" page, you must enter the following information (see image #2):




1. Event title. Please be concise.

2. Event description. Similar to the EngagedPatrons description. Feel free to look at other events and copy their style.

3. Set the start and end dates and times. Double check AM vs. PM.

4. Choose one or more categories for the event. There's a main calendar on which all events are included, but each category is also it's own calendar (e.g.http://www.oldbridgelibrary.org/events/category/kids/). Please do not create new categories; suggest them to me instead and we can work out an optimal configuration.

5. If you want people to register for the event, the Show Form option on 'Event Form' must be set to yes.

6. If you have enabled registration, enter the number of registrants allowed. (e.g. if there are 6 spots, enter the number 6. Anyone registering after that point will automatically be added to a wait list, instead. The wait lists cannot be capped.

7. Save a draft if you need to leave the site and continue inputting the event later. Click *preview* to see how the event will appear on the site (on the event page itself, not in the calendar).

8. When everything is correct, click publish and the event will go live on our site.


If you need to edit the event after you have published it, simply sign into the website, click the 'Events' button, and click on the name of your event. Make any necessary changes, then click 'Update' (in place of the 'Publish' button). All done.
