How do I add an event to the Calendar?
Postings in certain categories can be added to the FPF Community Calendar.
Calendars on Front Porch Forum are great for public, time-specific events (e.g. gatherings, meetings, classes, garage sales, etc.).
FPF may decline to publish to the calendar events that don’t fit certain criteria – for example, ongoing events (sales, fundraisers, summer camps), or school or office closures.
How to submit an event:
- Log into your FPF account. In the menu, click the orange "Compose" button.
- Select a posting Category in the drop-down menu:
- Event
- Announcement
- Housing and Real Estate (for open houses)
- Election (for election-related events)
- Next, choose one of the following options:
- Forum + Calendar: Submit your event as a Forum posting and a Calendar event.
- Calendar Only: This option is the best way to submit multiple or multi-day events. Learn more.
- Fill in the form with the information about your event.
- Click "Submit."
A “success” message on your screen indicates the message was added to FPF’s moderation queue. Events are typically added to the Calendar within 24 hours.
