The idea behind this module is to create event calendar groups that your users can join to keep track of both
their own personal events and that group's events. Click on "Calendar Administration" in "Admin Suite" and you
will be taken to the window shown below.
The first option in "Calendar Administration" is "Admin Calendar Group", which if you click on will take you to
the window shown below.
Admin Calendar Group
From this window you can both create new calendar groups and change the user permissions for existing ones. To
add a new calendar group, type the name of the new group into the blank text field at the bottom of the window
and click "Add New". This will refresh the page and add the new calendar group to the list of existing groups
above. There are five options that can be set for each calendar group in this list. "Active" specifies whether
or not this calendar group is available on the front end of the site. "Allow User Add" specifies whether members
of this calendar group are allowed to add new events to this calendar. "Allow User Edit" specifies whether members
of this calendar group are allowed to edit events already in this calendar. "Allow User Delete" specifies whether
members of this calendar group are allowed to delete events in this calendar. Finally, "Show in Master calendar"
specifies whether events in this calendar group should be shown in all calendar groups.
Once you have changed the settings for any of these calendar groups, click on the appropriate "Update" button. If
you would like to remove and of these calendar groups, click on the appropriate "Delete" button to the far right of
the group listing. When you are finished editing and adding calendar groups, click "Calendar" in the top left of the
window.

The next option in "Calendar Administration" is "Admin Calendar User", which if you click on will take you
to the window shown below.
Admin Calendar User
The idea behind this section is to allow you to administrate user applications to join a certain calendar group.
The first two options on this page are pull-down lists that allow you to specify which calendar users are shown
by approval "Status", which specifies whether the user has been approved to join this calendar group, and by
calendar "Group". Below this is a list of all the calendar users that meet the specifications you have made above.
The first column shows the group they are a member of or have applied to be a part of, the second column shows
the name of the user and the last column shows the approval status of this application. If the user is approved
then he/she is marked with a highlighted checkmark  , if the user is approved he/she is marked with a highlighted
x-mark  and if the user is pending administrator approval they are marked with a highlighted question mark 
To switch between these three states, click on one of the two darkened symbols. When you have finished changing
the calendar user approval statuses, click on "Calendar" to return to the main calendar administration menu.

The next option in "Calendar Administration" is "Add Calendar Item", which if you click on will take you to the
window shown below.
Add Calendar Item
To add a calendar item, the first thing you need to do is specify the "Start Date" and "End Date" of the event.
Next, choose "Start Time" and "End Time" for the daily occurrence of this event. "Group" is what group that event
is shown in or if you select "Master" is will be displayed in all calendar groups. "Title" should be a short
title for this calendar item and "Note" should be a brief description of what the event involves.
Finally, if you are familiar with HTML you can select "Yes" for the "Allow HTML" option. This allows you
to enter HTML code in this window’s text fields. If you don't want to put in HTML then select "No" and your
text will be properly formatted.
When you are done filling out the fields above, click on "Add Calendar Item". After you have added the new item
click on the "Calendar" link in the top left of the window.

The next option in "Calendar Administration" is "Admin Calendar Items". Click on this link and you will be taken to the window shown below.
Admin Calendar Items
The first option on this page is a pull-down list that allows you to choose which calendar items will be shown
in the list by "Calendar Group". In the list of items the "Title", "Start Date" and "End Date" that you entered
during the item creation process are shown. If you would like to change the details of this calendar item, click
on the "Edit" button to the right of the item and you will be directed to the window shown below.
From this window you can change all the same details you specified about this event when you created it. When you
are finished updating this item, don't forget to click "Save"!!! After you have saved you changes, click
on the "Admin Calendar Items" link in the top left of the window to return to the previous window.
Finally, if you would like to remove a calendar item, click on it's associated "Delete" button to the far right
of the item. Click on "Calendar" to return to the main calendar administration menu.

The next option in "Calendar
Administration" is "Admin Calendar Options", which if you click on will take you to the window shown below.
Admin Calendar Options
The first thing you should do in this window is to select the time zone of your web site, this is the time that
all the calendar items will be mapped around. "Allow HTML in Item details?" specifies whether or not you would
like to allow users to add HTML content to the item descriptions (if you select "No" then the "Allow HTML?"
option will be removed from the bottom of the item submission form). "Display Item Titles in Month View?" specifies
whether you would like events names to appear in the day boxes when you view the monthly calendar, if you select
"No" then the name will be replaced with "Event" on all days with an event. If at any point you wish to return
all the fields to their current saved values, click the "Reset" button. Once you have made the changes you want
to make, click "Update". Click "Calendar" to return to the main calendar menu.
Return to top
The last option in "Calendar
Administration" is "Administrate Pages", which if you click on will take you to the window shown below.
Administrate Pages
The idea behind this window is to make changes to the format of the calendar pages. If you need to make any changes, click
on the appropriate "Edit" button, which will take you to the window shown below.
The two options (page name and title image) are for naming your page and you should choose one of them.
If you prefer to have an image for the title instead of the text for the page, you can click on the "Browse"
button and choose an image from your hard drive.
Note that a title image replaces the "Page Name" in the page content, but not on the window title.
Next you need to type your "Meta tags".
What is a Meta Tag?
When you entered all your information, don't forget to click "Submit"!!!!!
Once you are done changing the page setup you can either click on "Page List" to edit the page setup of the other pages
in this module or you can click on "Admin Suite"
