Programme changes

We have moved away from a document based trip programme to a database driven one.

Why?

The programme coordinator and leaders can now enter tramp data directly into the programme on the website. Once entered it's immediately visible to everyone. No more sending trip details via email, then someone collating all the information to produce the two monthly programme. This reduces the workload on the trip coordinators and leaders.

Guidelines for leaders entering tramps in the Programme

  1. You must have an account with "leader's rights" and be logged in to be able to enter tramps in the programme.        
  2. Enter the programme page.  When you are logged in, the link "edit" will be to the right of every date.  
  3. Click on "Trip list" at the top left hand of the programme page to easily spot the available weekends.
  4. Check your tramp does not compete with one already entered the same weekend.
  5. Check you are not adding to an uneven spread of tramp types.
  6. Choose the Saturday of the weekend you want (you will be able to change it to the day you require) and click on 'edit', or use the 'add a trip' option.
  7. You need to fill in only those fields listed below.

The remaining fields will be completed with information held in the data base. Go to the bottom of the page and click on Save to complete.  Re-check your Day/Date on the trip list page.  Re-check your tramp details on the programme page.     

Keep your trip description short and clear. You can amend your details any time up till the programme is printed.

If you have a trip in mind with no date decided, or any questions, phone 546 6975 (preferred)

or e-mail Jim at

maxwells@clear.net.nz

Will be home to take calls most evenings and most mornings between 7.00 and 8.30am.

Enter the edit page and click on "Status". Choose "done" or "cancelled".  If cancelled, click

on "save" to complete.

If done, then click on "Trip total" and enter the total number of trampers. 

If some are non members, then click on "Trip Visitors" and enter the number of visitors.  If
