You can add various content to the Green Forum, including events, opportunities, blogs and knowledge resources (only available for group members). Start by going to the discussion or group you would like to create or share content with.
Events
To add an event, click on the ‘Events’ tab of the discussion or group banner, then go to the ‘Create event’ button on the right-hand side and fill in all the necessary information. Mandatory fields are marked with *. You will need to select the event type and add the title, organization, date, overview and registration link (optional).
Events published in public discussions can be viewed by the public that includes all registered and non-registered users, whereas events published in a group can only be viewed by the relevant group members. If you want to make the event public so people who are not logged in to the Green Forum can see it – for example, you would like to share it on social media or by email – you will need to add it in a public discussion. You can tick another discussion if you would like the event to appear there too.
Your event will have a better preview and be more appealing for others to enroll if you attach an image with the right format (maximum size of 20MB in png, gif, jpeg, or jpg format). You can add tags to make your event searchable. When you are done, remember to click the ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the form.
Your added event on a discussion page will be approved by the Green Forum team before being published, while the group manager or group admin will approve your event on a group page. Once published, your event will appear as a notification to members of your discussion or group. You can also use the message function to share it with them.
Opportunities
Click the ‘Opportunities’ tab of the discussion or group banner, then go to ‘Create opportunity’ button on the right-hand side and fill in all the necessary information. Mandatory fields are marked with *. You will need to select the opportunity type – ranging from jobs to call for papers – and add a title, organization, overview and relevant link (optional).
Opportunities published in public discussions can be viewed by the public that includes all registered and non-registered users, whereas opportunities published in a group can only be viewed by the relevant group members. If you want to make it public so people who are not logged in to the Green Forum can see it – for example, you would like to share it on social media or by email – you will need to add it in a public discussion. You can tick another discussion if you would like the opportunity to appear there too.
Your opportunity will have a better preview and be more appealing for others to take part if you attach an image with the right format (maximum size of 20MB in png, gif, jpeg, or jpg format). You can add tags to make your event searchable. When you are done, remember to click the ‘Save’ button at the bottom of the form.
Your added opportunity on a discussion page will be approved by the Green Forum team before being published, while the group manager or group admin will approve your opportunity on a group page. Once published, it will appear as a notification to members of your discussion or group. You can also use the message function to share it with them.
