As
you know, hackers tore up our Data Base for Craft Shows and Events. We
are back up, but we will need your help in getting everything fine tuned
like we had it. More work will be done, but we are ready to start
putting up our shows and events. Thanks for your patience.

How to Add an Event (Craft or any Event) :
The Shop Oklahoma Craft Shows Schedule, Festivals, Fairs and Shows is
maintained by people just like you who are part of the Shop
Oklahoma web community. Most of them participate on our Discussion Forum
(sometimes called a Bulletin Board).
To add an event to our Listings you first have to
Register on the Shop Oklahoma Forum. (There are links below to
step you through the process.) When you register, your e-mail address
will be confirmed; this helps us protect our Forum. We do not sell e-mail
addresses to anyone for any reason. Once you are registered you are
granted permission to Add New Events to the Shop Oklahoma Forum Calendar
and/or craft show page or event page. You will need to keep a record of your
log in and your password. After you once register you will just log in
on the future visits. You'll see an icon for the Calendar in the upper
right portion of the Forum page. It looks like this. [ Calendar.]
If you click on the word Calendar it takes you to a real calendar.
Shows are listed on the Calendar as well as being on the Craft Show Page or
the Events Page. On the Calendar page you will see links at the top and bottom
of the page that will let you
Add the event. You can also change the month and year of the
calendar at the bottom of the page.
You will need to give the show a NAME or TITLE
You will see a place to add the Event Location City/Town:
List the address such as "Downtown, and then the city." We only do
Oklahoma events so don't bother putting the state.
You will need to put what kind of event that
is taking place. If it is both a craft show and a festival, I
would probably list on both the Craft Shows page as well as the Festival
Page. Just do it twice.
Next is the Date of the Event:
If it is a one day event just put the day, date and year. If it is
two day event or more click on Ranged Event. Then you will
put the starting day and the finishing day
Next you will see a place where it says "Code
Buttons" If it is a one day event click on Normal Mode.
If it is two days or more click on Guided Mode. That way you
can pick a background color and size of the font. If you pick a dark
background then use a light color for the text. If you pick a light
background you should pick a dark text. Just try different things to
make it show up the best. You can always go back and change the
color later. The color shows up on the Calendar Page so everything
doesn't just run together.
Next you will click on Enable emoticons
[one of the Smiles' ] if you want one on your listing. Just
click on the one you want and it will put the code on your description.
Next write your description.
Next click on Add Calendar Event
If you want to delete or edit what you have done go to the
Calendar Pageby going up to the top of the page you are on and
click on the word[ Calendar.]
and find yourEvent. When you find the event on the
calendar double click the event and a page will pop up to either let you
edit or delete the event. You may add as many events as you wish.
Please register and join the Shop Oklahoma Discussion Forum whether you have an
event to add or not. Many times on the Forum people post questions that you
might be the perfect person to answer
questions!
