[PAA Webteam] preparing for switching ISPs / can anyone add events?
Hello webteam!
after much deliberation with configuration, etc... we finally setup
shop at a new internet service provider last Friday. BOTH domains are
still in place and will be until we can get the content moved from
the old site to the new. One piece of good news is that we will have
a "staging" or testing website which is completely separate from our
live PAA website where people can try out things to their heart's
content, even break things (although that's definitely not the goal)
- I'll send info on that later.
I don't have your passwords, but your usernames are as follows (yes
capitalization matters and yes, there is a space in the username). If
you don't recall your password, you can simply visit
http://www.paa-tx.org/
Directly beneath the login area, there's an option to 'request a
new password" - you can have it emailed to you if you need it.

We want to coordinate this effort, not have 3 people doing the same
thing / duplicating effort - can anyone indicate whether they have
time to complete this request or not? Please reply to the group.
In particular, I need some help with adding the upcoming events to
the calendar.
You would need to add the events from => http://
www.progressiveactionalliance.org/ to our new site using Civicspace.
You would do this by visiting => http://www.paa-tx.org/ => login
* on the left side, click on create content => event
- It is important for the event title to be descriptive, please avoid
lots of acronyms, some people genuinely may not know what they are.
- I realize it's a hassle, but where possible, please enter the
complete location information including zip code. If you don't enter
the zip code, 2 things happen. The look up event by location (zip
code) won't work and the yahoo maps won't work. Zip code is required.
If you don't have *any* location info, or have limited location info,
don't enter anything in the location at all - just put everything in
the body of the event. It's cleaner.
- I have setup categories for events - it is important for us to
properly categorize events so that they show up on the proper
calendars and we can sort them as well.
