Can only one person be registered per organisation? You can register as many people per organisation as you like – simply get new registrations to affiliate themselves to your organisation when creating an account by selecting the name of your organisation under “my organisation” on the “create an account” page.

Can I share my user name and password with members of my organisation? It’s best if everyone has their own username and password – primarily because more than one person from your organisation may want to access the site at the same time. Just follow the steps above to create more than one account per organisation.

How do I edit or delete my events? You need to follow these steps:

  1. Sign in
  2. Click “member organisations” in the top bar
  3. Find your organisation
  4. Click on your organisation name
  5. Click on the title of the event you wish to edit or delete
  6. Then click the red “edit” text next to the event title at the top of the page.
  7. Once you have finished editing your text, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select “submit”
  8. If you want to delete you event, simply click “edit”, then scroll down to the bottom of the page and select “delete”.

How do I edit my organisations details?

  1. Log in
  2. Click “my account” (under your user name on the bottom right hand side of the page)
  3. Scroll back to the top of the page, click the tab which says “edit” (under your organisation name),
  4. Click “organisation”.

The contact details for my organisation (on the member organisations pages) are wrong All organisations which were members of the Manawa website have been copied over to the ecoevents site. All member organisations have been contacted using the contact details from the Manawa site. To check what contact details we have, simply locate your organisation on the member organisation pages. If you can see you organisation and the contact details are wrong, then we can change the user name and password to give you access so you can edit the details.  You (or the contact details you give us) need to be the "primary contact" for an organisation. 

How do I post recurring events? This feature will be installed within the next month - watch this space! 

Can I post pictures on my member page? Yes, please email us for instructions. 

The map feature doesn't seem to be working? A proper street address must be used with the map feature. Google maps will not recognise "Council Carpark, Robertson Road, Takanini", but it will recognise "37 Robertson Road, Takanini, Auckland". Putting in "Robertson Road, Takanini, Auckland" will work, but the target on the map may not be on the area of road that your event is - which could be a bit confusing. So when posting an event, it may help to do just a tiny bit of research and find out the proper street address (number, street, suburb, city), to save a map of Washington Boulevard coming up under your event...

My event costs money, am I able to list it? Providing the event falls within the parameters of "ecoevents", then yes. Any costs to participants must be CLEARLY stated. Please see our Terms of Use for more information. Haven't found an answer to your questions? Please contact us
