Events
Events must be approved before they can be displayed on the ASPC event calendar. Events are added to the moderation queue in one of four ways:
- A user submits a link to a Facebook event
- A user submits a link to a Facebook organization page, and events are automatically gathered from it
- A user defines and submits his own, new event
- Events posted on CollegiateLink are automatically gathered
The moderation workflow follows.
Step 0:
Ensure you are logged in as the event listings moderator, or another user account with access to the event moderation queue.
Step 1: An event is added to the queue in one of the above ways.
Step 2: Log into the ASPC website admin panel.
Step 3: Navigate to the Events section under the Events heading.
Step 4: Check the boxes next to the events in the queue that you want to approve, and then select 'Approve selected events' from the dropdown in the bottom left. Events can also be marked as denied.
Step 5: If the page doesn't refresh, click to save your changes. Events can always be unapproved later. Approved events now appear on the ASPC homepage and on the events calendar.
Event information can also be edited if you click on the event name. For instance, if the given description of the event contains inappropriate content but the event is otherwise acceptable, you can edit the event description to remove the offending content before approving it. All events should have, at a minimum, a title, start time, location, and description.
