How to add an event to The Lady List
This may look a bit complicated but it's not. You can make your post as simple or as detailed as you like. At The Lady List we really want people adding their own events to help us out and spread the word about whatever's on for gay women.
- Go to www.theladylist.ie/calendar
- Click on the little + sign in the corner of the date and month you would like to add an event. Event is repeated? Start on the first date you want it to appear and (instructions for repeating events are given below)
The Add Entry page will appear. This is where you add in all the details of the event.
IMPORTANT: Don’t press the SAVE button until the entire entry is complete. It will remember what you have done in each section.
If the event is repeated: Click on the Repeat tab. Select the appropriate option, Daily, Weekly, Monthly etc. This may take a bit of practice to get used to but it’s very user friendly.
Inserting Image
There is a little picture of tree in the little toolbox. This is to add an image. Images are very important for events to be found easily. Click on the tree symbol and a little pop out window will appear.
To upload an image you will need to have it on your computer. Click Browse, select a file and press the Upload button.
The Image URL box will fill with code from the image you have uploaded. Put in a description eg. Cake poster into both Image description and Title boxes.
NOTE: Uploading an image will automatically make it appear on the homepage and clickable to the event. If the event is repeating every week it may be better to not upload and rather to just add in an Image URL code. This can be found by right clicking with the mouse on any image on the web and selecting View Image Info in the options. This should bring up a code like http://www.theladylist.ie/assets/images/logo.gif
If you insert this into the Image URL box you will see The Lady List logo appear in the text box as an image. Test it and see how easy it is.
Staying in the image pop out box, you will see the Appearance tab beside general. Click on that and you will be brought into the section where you can decide where to place the image. I usually select Left.
Just press Insert and your image should appear in the text box. If it doesn’t it didn’t work and you’ll have to select the little tree symbol again.
Refer back to the second image for the following…
- Brief Description: Add your title
- In the large text box below add in a paragrapgh or two about the event. Usually you can just cut and paste it in from somewhere else
- Catergory: Press on the Edit button and a pop out window will appear. You can select from the options in the left box and press the arrow to bring it across to the right box. When you have selected your catergories just press Ok. If you made a mistake just click on the entered catergory and click remove.
- Location: Put in the address of the where the event is taking place
- URL: If the event is linked to a website, Facebook, Twitter etc add it in here
- Date: The date the event is on.
- Homepage Image box. If you have uploaded an image this is full with code that you can’t change so ignore this box.
- Location: Click on the arrows to select the county the event is being held in.
- Phone: Be careful giving out personal numbers unless it’s a business that has it’s number freely used. Always ask for consent otherwise.
- Select Time: Enter the time it starts
- Location: This is a little box that you can add in a Google map to show people exactly where the event is being held.
eg. If you put in The Front Lounge, Parliament St. Dublin, Ireland
Click on Link and two codes will appear. Paste the HTML to embed into the Location box and see the map magically appear when you are finished.
Now all that’s left is to press the Save button and if you are a user you can immediately view your event on your personal calendar and the public calendar at
