Manage Holidays

On the Manage Holidays page of the Calendar section of the Administration panel you can edit existing holiday events and add new ones.

First you will see a listing of all of the holiday events already added to your forum's Calendar. Next to that is the date of the event and next to that is a checkbox that you can check and click the Delete Selected button located at the button of the page to delete the holidays you selected.

By clicking on the title of a holiday event you will be taken to a new page where you can edit that holiday's title, year, month and date. You can also remove the event from that page by clicking on the Remove button.

At the bottom of the page is a link: Add New Holiday. Clicking this will allow you to add a new holiday to the Calendar. The page you go to when you click on the link looks the exact same as when you edit an existing Calendar event.

You will be able to give the holiday a title, along with the day, month, and year of the holiday.
