Hey all,

I've been crossposting some event mailers I came across on this e-group to
the Karmayog e-group for some time now. (Because [among a passel of reasons]
I like connecting people with information and experiences that might be
relevant or interesting for them.)

This mail is to let you know that I'll no longer be forwarding such mails
since Karmayog has a new (more cumbersome for me) format (post details on
the website as against simply email) for such mails now.

So, if you want more people to know about the event you're organising or
supporting, read the mail below. FYI, Karmayog e-group mails apparently go
to 62,000 email IDs.

Best,
Chandni

I have got the initial 'beta' version of karmayog events working on
http://www.karmayog.in/events.

- The default view for the users is the 'events-calendar' view which shows
the monthly calendar and its related events.

- There is a 'Post An Event' link at the top which will allow all users to
post any event that is of interest.
- The event creation form is simple. It also has the state/city drop-down
and allows the user to create a new city
- The Rick Text Box is there to enter details.
- 3 files can be uploaded. A file description can also be added.

Once an event is posted, it will automatically get added to the events
calendar view. You can also click on the event in the calendar and it will
take you to the event description.

- I have also added a description page called 'About Karmayog Events' to
explain this initiative.
- There is also a 'Who's online' at the bottom which shows how many users
are online.

As of now we have a fully functional events feature where events can be
added by users and viewed in the calendar.
