On the public website, www.opbatucson.com, click on "Events/OPBA Tips" link on the top right, OPBA Minutes are displayed.

Also, you can see more Events and search past Tips at the private website. After you login, look at the "Events" calendar or "Upcoming Events" list on the right. You may have to scroll down a little.

To search all the past and upcoming events, blogs or forum topics, simply enter the 'keyword(s)' in the Search box on the top of the menu on the right of your screen.

There are several 'Content Types' that comprise the 'Events and Tips'.

• 'Automated' content - board members, programs, birthdays and the tips themselves
• Events - Weekly meetings, wine calls and special gatherings.
• Meeting Minutes - Attendee tracking and topics discussed during the event with which minutes are associated.
• Tips - Members' 'Tips' are entered individually, then automatically gathered and displayed as part of the meeting minutes

Content is automatically pulled from the private website and displayed on the public site.

• The Board Member list is pulled from Member type assigned in the members profile.
• The attendees are drawn from the 'We missed you' check boxes on the meeting minutes.
• Upcoming Birthdays are drawn from the Member's profiles.
• The Programs listed in the Minutes are pulled from thedetails on the next 2 Upcoming Events. Make sure these are up to date.
• Events over the next 30 days are pulled from the individual Event listings.

Events - Recurring and non-recurring (These are what are displayed on the public website's Events page)

• The Wednesday morning breakfast meetings are drawn from the 'Breakfast Meeting Recurring Event'. When you want to list the details of a specific upcoming Breakfast Meeting, you must make sure that you do not change the default  and edit only that 'occurrence'. Please enter only those details that distinguish the event from any other... announcements , upcoming speakers etc. These items should be listed on the event itself, not in the 'minutes'. Please enter only the General Information, Membership, and Social and in the appropriate fields on the Minutes form.

• Any one-of-a-kind meetings are simply entered as their own non-recurring event. Minutes, of course, can be added after the event is created.

Meeting minutes

• Meeting minutes are where the tips and such will be displayed. Do not put the tips into the 'main event'. Always add tips using the 'Create content _> Tip' command. To add minutes, open the Event and use the command link listed under the event. Look for 'Post minutes to this event'. If you see 'View minutes', this means minutes have already been posted. View them and edit if you wish.

NOTES - Updated - 24July2008

The website functionality is largely complete.

• Always use the 'Create content'->'Tip' command to make your tip.
• One change from the way Tips are now collected is that a 'Teaser' needs to be entered. Members should supply this teaser as part of writing their tip. This will need to be added to the paper Tip form or a verbal request made until new ones can be printed.
• The 'author:' field is autocompleted as you type the members' Username (the name listed on the public Popups. Author info is found in the 'Authorship information' near the bottom of each 'Create content->Tip' entry form.
