Updating the 2026 Club Nights page - regularly

The 2026 Club Nights page is kept with the trip schedule pages. The page provides the source of club night information used on the home page, club night page, clubrooms page, and Social Committee Roster page. It is kept up to date by the clubnight speaker organisers.

Club night night entries looks like these

How this works

Each clubnight entry is accompanied by an 'anchor' in the format yyyy-mm-dd which represents the specific Tuesday, as shown below. The anchor allows the clubnight entry to be included in other website pages.
Each photo for a specific Tuesday must be prefixed by the Tuesday date in the format yyyy-mm-dd which ensure it is displayed in the correct location.

To make this work

Update the page:

• add new clubnight entries chronologically at the bottom of the trip schedule page
• the 'anchor' [[#cnyyyy-mm-dd]] must be a Tuesday in exactly the format shown where yyyy is the year, mm the month, and dd the day
• the [[<]] markup ensures that the photos do not overlap the next clubnight
• the {$FullName} name="yyyy-mm-dd*" count=1 order=random titlefmt="Mouse over tool tip" {$:thump}:) markup displays one image randomly from any number of uploaded images for the date defined
• the {$:thump} markup (defined as (:thump:align=left px=148:) sets the size and alignment of the image

Adding the photos:

• the name of any photos uploaded for a club night must start with yyyy-mm-dd for the same date as in the name parameter
• multiple photos can be uploaded for a club night, and a different one will be displayed randomly when the page loads
• images must have the file extension .jpeg or .jpg
  • .tiff images are not supported by browers, convert to .jpeg format
  • .bmp images are not supported to respect user's bandwidth, convert to .png format
• if the uploaded images are not rotated correctly please see webteam photo advice.

Multiple club night topics

It is possible to have multiple topics and accompanying topic specific photos for a single club night date. To achieve this ensure the photos for each topic can be distinguised by adding an additional prefix (after the date) to their name. For example:

!!! '~29 March~' [[#cn2016-03-29]] !!!! [[Tararua Lodge/]] ''Speaker name'' >>lfloat<< (:thumblist {$FullName} name="2016-03-29 Tararua Lodge*" count=1 order=random titlefmt="Tararua Lodge" {$:thump}:) >><< '''Speaker name''' description. [[<]] !!!! Nepal ''Speaker name'' >>lfloat<< (:thumblist {$FullName} name="2016-03-29 Nepal*" count=1 order=random titlefmt="Nepal" {$:thump}:) >><< '''Speaker name''' description. [[<]]

29 March Tararua Lodge Speaker name Speaker name description. Nepal Speaker name Speaker name description.
