Bug in adding HTML description - repeat event info

When I add an HTML description to my event page and then click the "preview" button, I get an event page that has the HTML description and then the plaintext description - it displays both instead of overriding the plaintext description - so it looks like the info is just repeated.

Also, every page I create already has "allow HTML description" checked by default, and uses an old HTML description from one of the first events I ever created on the calendar. Every time I create an event, I have to go in to the event page and UNCHECK "allow HTML description" if I don't want every single event page to have the same description (a description from a very old event)!!

Thanks for your help!
Do you know whether spongecell is planning to build in a realtime option for getting your calendar into ical? as a read-only subscription I mean... This option means you have to download a new ics file everytime you make a change...

There are two options to get event data into calendar email applications like Outlook/iCal:

1. RSS Feed
a. Pro: Always Updating
b. Con: Not in calendar format



2. iCal
a. Pro: In calendar format
b. Con: Not always updated



Right now the only way to get an RSS Feed or iCal download is from the widgets (the link in the boxed calendar widget).

Yes, I agree. I want to be able to:
- import my spongecell events into my iCal realtime.
- realtime edit the spongecell calendar from a master calendar like google.
Lovely product by the way!

You can easily save yourself the work of customizing multiple event pages.

1. Customize one event page template.

2. Scroll down to the "Event Management" box and repeat the event as many times as needed.

Global settings?

Is there a way to create a set of global settings/defaults for Spongecell -- i.e, a way for the form to auto-populate with the address of our church for every event unless I change it to something else? (Most of our events are held at the same address.)

Also, is there a way to edit the event page settings for ALL the pages at once? (Some kind of global settings that will affect all pages - if I decide to change the color and don't want to have to go through and change each individual event page?)

AllSaintsATL_Webmaster replied on May 09, 2008 17:18 to the discussion "Upload a calendar of events into Spongecell from outlook, google calendar or iCal.." in Spongecell:

Could you do this in reverse? I.e., if the master calendar "lives" online with Spongecell but you need be able to access the info through Outlook? I work for a church right now our parish administrator has to enter everything twice - once in the master calendar on her computer and once on our online calendar (currently through Google). I'm thinking with Spongecell we could integrate event registration and payment and RSVPs right in with our master calendar - the only thing we'd need to be able to do is print a hard-copy, grid version of the calendar for our monthly newsletter. Ideas? Tips? (I'm brand-new to Spongecell so still learning..)

Oh great, thanks!!

Anna replied on May 08, 2008 20:31 to the question "HTML formatting text available in list view?" in Spongecell:

Any event added to the list view, automatically links to a live event page.

If you've already added an event, click through twice, and you will be directed to the event page.

Is there a way to link to the event page from within the list view? That doesn't seem to be one of the button options on the left...

Anna replied on May 08, 2008 20:27 to the question "HTML formatting text available in list view?" in Spongecell:

The list widget is designed in Flash, and is not compatible with HTML formatted text. You can link to your event page and add HTML formatted text under # 5 "Add an HTML description".

HTML formatting text available in list view?

Is there a way to make HTML-formatted text viewable in the calendar list view when embedded on a site?

AllSaintsATL_Webmaster replied on May 08, 2008 19:42 to the discussion "What is the purpose of #5 on customize an event page: “include an optional HTML description to override the existing description”?" in Spongecell:

Would love to be able to view the HTML formatting in the list view of the calendar as well as on the event page. Right now you can get to this from the calendar view, but if you're using the list view it takes you to a plaintext event description...
