This calendar is designed to help connect the various members of the U-ConnectPGH network around Oakland by providing a single place where we can see what's happening on the campuses of Pitt and Carnegie Mellon and in nearby churches that is of particular interest to Christian faculty and graduate students.
The main calendar page shows current and future events, with the earliest events at the top. Click the title of an event for more information about that event, including contact and location information. An icon on the right indicates which organization sponsors each event, so members of each church or organization can see at a glance what their group is doing, and also what other groups are doing. If you would like to see only events sponsored by a particular group, select the name of that group at the bottom of the screen, on the line that starts "Show:" If you would like to see past events as well as current events, select the link labeled "All Events" at the bottom of the page. Co-sponsored events have the u-connectpgh icon, which is an ancient symbol of the Trinity.
Some events may repeat on a weekly or monthly basis. These are usually shown in a slighly different color, and are indicated with a note such as "(weekly)". For repeating events, only the most current one is shown; when that passes, the next one will appear.
Authorized representatives of a church or of a Christian campus organization can request a password in order to add events to the calendar. Our goal is to have at least one representative from each group who makes sure the calendar is kept up-to-date. To request an account, follow the link labeled "request an account" at the top of the page, and send e-mail to one of the contact people listed. They can create a username and password for you by adding you as a "New Contact". Once you have your username and password, you can log in by following the "log in" link at the top of the page. It it highly recommended that you change your password right away, and make sure it is not easy to guess, but that you will not forget it. However, if you do forget, the system administrator who created your account can reset your password.
Once you have logged in, you can create a new event by selecting the "New Event" link at the bottom of the page. Then you will see a form asking for an event title, date, and time, plus a very brief description of the event. Then you also have space to write a more detailed description of the event. Finally, you can indicate which group (if any) is sponsoring the event, where it is located (if known), and who people should contact if they have questions about the event. If the sponsor, location, or contact is not already in the system, they should be added before the new event is added. However, if you start adding an event and realize that a sponsor, location, or contact person is not yet in the system, go ahead and add the event without them, and then you can edit the event after you have entered the sponsor, location, or contact person into the system. To edit an event, simply select the "edit" link on the right side of the main calendar page; the same form used to enter a new event will reappear.
To add a sponsoring organization, a location, or a contact person, simply follow the appropriate "New..." link at the bottom of the page, and fill out the form. However, please make sure that the item you are adding is not already there! You can do this by looking at the list of sponsors, the list of locations, or the list of contacts, which can all be reached by following the corresponding links at the bottom of the page. From those lists, items that you may edit have "edit" links on the right side.
When adding event titles and descriptions, and in various other text fields, you can use a limited setset of HTML tags to format your text. For example, to make something bold, format it like this: <b>bold</b>. For italics, use this: <i>italic</i>. To include a hyperlink, use an anchor tag, like this: <a href=http://www.u-connectpgh.org/>the U-ConnectPGH site</a>. You can make a numbered list like this: <ol><li>first item<li>second item<li>third item<li>etc.</ol>, and for a list without numbers, replace ol with ul.
