Edit an event's details

Sitekit's Directory module has been deprecated as of autumn 2015 it will no longer appear or be supported in any new sites. It has been replaced by the new post system which is far more flexible.

(Note: events in the Directory are completely unrelated to events and events modules that are created and controlled in the Edit and Configure tabs). 

To edit an event in the directory:

1. In the Directory area of the Manage tab, click Events.
2. In the Edit Event section, set the Event End Date after to the day before your event finishes and click Get List.
   A list of events is displayed that finish after the specified date.
3. Find on the list the event that you want to edit  and click Edit.
4. Event Title - type the title of the event into the box.
5. Venue - select from the drop-down list the venue for the event.
   If the venue doesn't appear on the list you will have to go to the Venues section of the directory to add the venue.
6. Self Edit Data Owner - it is possible for an event to be added to the directory by an 'owner' of an event via a form on a website, in which case it is also possible that the owner can edit the details of the event via the same website, without having to use the Sitekit CMS administration system. If this event has such an 'owner' select the name from the drop-down list.
7. Start Date - select from the drop-down lists the start date for the event.
8. End Date - select from the drop-down lists the end date for the event.
9. Start Time - type the time at which the event begins.
10. End Time - type the time at which the event finishes.
11. Cost - type the price(s) for attending the event.
12. Days Open - if your event spans a few days tick all the boxes on which it is open. If it is only a one day event do not tick any of these boxes.
13. Frequency - if it's a recurring event that's held on the same days every week, fortnight, or month, select the appropriate button. For all other events leave the 'daily' button selected.
14. Description - type a description of the event.
