Instructions: How to add an event to the caLegion Calendar

We’ve added functionality to the American Legion Department of California website which allows anyone to add an event to the calendar. If you haven’t registered for a user account, you’ll have to do that first. If you’re registered, log in and add an event.

  1. Register if you haven’t (if this link takes you to a login page, you probably already have an account and need to reset your password)
  2. Log in if you’ve already registered
  3. Visit the Add an Event page
  4. Events List
    – Click the “Add New” event button

5. Add an Event
Add a title for your event
Add a description to let people know what your event is all about
Add a link to the event page on your website, Facebook or a service like Eventbright (Optional)
– NOTE: if you add a link, make sure to select “New Window” from the dropdown menu

6. Date and Time
– Add a start date, start time, end date, end time
– OR select the “All-day Event” checkbox
IMPORTANT: Add a “Featured Image” to your event. The best shape for your image will be a square

7. Event Main Location
– You can check the dropdown box to see if your location is listed, otherwise select “Insert a new location” and enter the location name
– Location name (example: City Hall)
– Event Location: (Example: City Hall, Sacramento, California)
