This site is designed to be the principle mechanism for communications between members and sub-committees. Only the front page is visible to the general public. To access the Site members can log in using their unique username (their email address) and their password which if they forget this they can generate a new one themselves.
I have made it that there are various levels of access so that we can control access and security. Everyone is free to comment on a post in the Committee Communication section. Currently this is set so that it doesn’t require moderation ie it appears immediately (we can change this if we have someone with Tourette syndrome!) Someones first post has to be approved. This helps to stop undetermined access to our site.
We can also configure it so that any changes can automatically send notifications to members also.
The section called notices in the top left Widget space is where the chairman/secretary displays reminders of upcoming meetings and the like.
The Calendar is basic and designed to show at a glance events that can then be interrogated by clicking on the event. Black events are organisations that are booked in (these can be set up with the recurring feature). All other events whether our own or private hiring have a status of either provisional or confirmed or cancelled. These are set by the category of the event itself and so can be amended without changing the actual booking.
To avoid duplication and uncertainty I have not put a “bar booked” code on there as we ought to continue to use the existing booking request for private bookings from the WVH website.
Unless you are just at subscriber level you can make adjustments to the website content. You do this via the black bar at the top. Here you should see
Under new you can add a new
- post (essentially a message to everyone) probably a good place to post action points and people can comment when something has been done between meetings
- documents (minutes of meetings)
- Gallery (pictures)
- Notice. (Formal Announcements)
- Person (Committee menber and their role ie member of x group etc)
- Event Events to go into the calendar.
To avoid confusion I have only given Steve, John and Dom the rights to make calendar changes at the moment.
