We uploaded our October Newsletter with a link (https://secure3.convio.net/tacs/site/TREM/October_2009.pdf?tr.emgmt=fr_doc_download.verList&docID=108790&verID=2&cmd=download&fr_id=24730) on our Newsletters webpage, but it can only be viewed if you are logged in. In looking @ newsletters on other RFL websites, I notice that their links begin with http not https.  How do I fix this so that the newsletter can be viewed without logging on to the website?  Thanks for any help you can give.

What's the new protocol for adding new Event Managers? I looked for the Help Desk Ticket on the new website, but couldn't find it.

Thanks!

I have put a calendar on my Relay's website using www.calendars.net.  It can be set up with an administrator to add all of the entries, or it can be opened so anyone can add info.  I linked it to a page I created for the left navigation bar.  When you click on the page, up pops the current month on the calendar - with the next twelve months listed across the top so you can select any month.  I entered planning committee meetings for the year, team meetings, and already have some fundraisers on it.  There is also an option to create a recurring fundraiser - enter the info once and it is automatically placed on the days selected.  When entering information, you can assign colors for different events, i.e.

I was told to do the updating prior to site going live on Sept 1st, but when I access the new site with the log-in information I was given there is no event manager tab! Help, where in the world is the 'event manager'?

P.S. Love the new site!

I would like to put a "COUNTER" at the bottom of our relay page so I can keep track of how many people visit the site.

Can anyone walk me through how to do this?

Thanks!

i see that most of the relay homepages have the button for the relay store. i recieved the mailer today about how shopping through that button can get more money donated to your event. my site does not yet have this shopping button. is this something that the staff must do or is this something i can do through the emc? if it helps, i am eastern division.

Hi Rick -

One of our team captains disappeared from the roster. She was somehow switched to private, so I switched her back to public. She now appears on the roster and as the team captain again but her name is not linked to her personal page from the 2009 Teams page. She is, however, linked from the Team page roster.

Thanks for any insight you might have.

I want to report that I used the batch upload technique for uploading the majority of our Relay night funds, and it went smoothly and quickly and I could not have been happier.  We did not have internet at our event so I had to come home and enter data.  I only missed about an hour and a half of Relay fun, and returned to the event with all the reports and information we needed for closing ceremonies.

Thanks Rick for creating this wonderful tool and thanks for ALL you have done for ACS and Relay For Life.

I was very careful and deleted all the links allowing online purchases of luminaria as recommended.  However at the event several people could not find the luminaria they had purchased online the morning of the event, three days after I did away with online luminaria orders.  I had forgotten that there was a luminaria purchase button on each individual participant’s page.  I could not figure out how to disable that button meaning people could still be buying luminaria after the event.

Something to check into for next year.
