Editing the Calendar
From Monaro Folk Society
We've now switched to using Google Calendar. To view the calendar, click this link: MFS Events Diary. The calendar is public so anyone can view. Additionally certain people have edit permissions, so they can add/modify/delete events. If you think you need edit permissions, there are 2 ways to accomplish this:
- Someone who already has edit permissions must add your email address (doesn't have to be a google email address) to the list of editors. Any current editor can do this by going into the calendar settings. Simply post a message to a relevant MFS discussion group (email list) asking for someone to help.
- Someone who is an admin of the Google Apps domain must add your email address (doesn't have to be a google email address) to the group "calendar@monarofolk.org.au". Currently there 2 admins (Simon, Lance).
Once someone has given you edit access, you can add/modify/delete events on the calendar. To do this, Google first needs to verify that you are who you are. Go to calendar.google.com and google will ask you to login. If you haven't already, create an account with your email address (it doesn't have to be a google email address). Then login using your email address and password. Once you are logged in, you should see a list of calendars on the left-hand-side. Click the calendar name to toggle the display of the calendar. With the calendar displayed, click on a date or time and right click. Follow the prompts to create a new event.
Note: Only one event needs to be created for a recurring event (see the "repeat" options while creating an event).
