The bandManager page gives you full control of all the Bands in gigCalendar.  From here, you can add, edit, and delete any Band. All of the current Bands are listed in the table and sorted descending by name, by default. All other functions on the page are described below.

Toolbar Actions

  • Publish: This button allows you to set the Publish Status to "Published" for any Band that you place a check mark next to in the table.  This works best for setting the Publish Status of multiple Bands.  The "Published" value works the same as the rest of Joomla, meaning that you can add the Band to the Gig and it is viewable on the main website.  If more then one Band is published a listed of available Bands will be available in the add/edit gigManager.
  • Unpublish:  This button works the same as the Publish Button, but it sets the Publish Status of checked Bands to "Unpublished".  The "Unpublished" value also works the same as the rest of Joomla.  An Unpublished Band is not available when adding or editing Gigs, and it is not viewable from the main website.
  • New:  Takes you to the Add Band page.
  • Delete: Removes checked Bands from the system.  After you click Delete, a confirmation window will pop up allowing you to proceed with the deletion or cancel it incase there was a mistake.
  • Help: Displays this page in a popup window.

GigCal Core Functions

Above the list of available menus, there are three links that remind you of GigCal's core functions.  In order to start creating Gig's, you must first add at least one Band and then at least one Venue.  These links will take you to the correct pages to let you perform those functions.  The text of the link describes exactly what page they will take you to:
  • Add New Gig
  • Add New Venue
  • Add New Band

Band Manager Table Fields

#
This is the ID number of Band.  It does not have any functionality, it is more just for reference.

Check Box
The check box at the top of the table allows you select all, or deselect all, Bands with one click.  To select individual Bands, simply click in the check box beside that Band.

Name
The name of the Band.  Clicking on "Name" at the top of the table will sort the table by the name of the Band.  It will first sort them in descending alphabetical order.  If the list is already sorted by name, you can change between ascending and descending order by clicking on "Name" again.
