Getting started

Registration on the campsite and logging in

  • To protect the camp community, an Administrator will review and approve registration requests before making them active.
  • When logging in, remember to allow cookies from the site in your browser.
  • Authenticated users (registered and logged in) receive a "Create" menu listing all allowed update actions on the site.

Profiles

  • Registered users appear in the Camper list page.
  • A link to the "Camper list" appears in the the navigation bar on the left for authenticated users.
  • Clicking on a link in the "Camper list" takes you to that Camper's user profile page.
  • When a user has elected to allow contact through their profile, a contact form appears as a tab on the profile page.
  • A user may set or change options from the "Edit" tab on their own profile page.
  • Administrators may add more profile items in the future.
  • Profiles are only accessible to authenticated users.

Camp events and Events

  • The Calendar page displays an overview of all Camp and Camp-related events.
  • Any authenticated user may create an "Event", like a conference where a Camper is speaking, from the link on the Create menu.
  • Unlike an "Event," a "Camp event" conforms to a set of rules defined by a specific "Organic group" (such as US Camp 2007) and is only available to members of that group. The group will only appear on the navigation bar for members of the group.

Registration for Camp events

  • Registered users may log in and register for Camp events. Currently, registration sends a message to the appropriate registrar.
  • The registration form links are located in the "Create" menu on the left navigation bar.
  • Administrators can create and modify registration forms.

Session notes and ideas for sessions

  • An authenticated user may enter Session notes for any Camp year.
  • Click on a Camp year and, for entering notes, "add a child page". The link for child pages is at the bottom of the page. Alternatively, use the link "Session notes" on the "Create" menu.
  • "Ideas for sessions" may be initiated as forum topics.

Key contacts

  • An authenticated user may use contact forms available through the "Key contacts" link.
