Got Skype?Activity is a content type that contains information about things you can see or do (e.g. whale watching, golf, theme park, etc.). Activities are located in a particular city, and can be included in tours.
After you've added your Activity, don't forget to configure the Price Options for it.
The name of the Activity. Generally this'll be the name of the company that runs the activity (i.e. 'Hervey Bay Whale Watching').
Select the type(s) of Activity you're adding. Hold down the 'Ctrl' key on your keyboard to select multiple Activity types.
The Summary field is used on the maps for displaying a teaser about the Activity. Users then click on the 'Read more' link to view the full description.
Enter some basic information about the Activity to entice users to read more about it.
The Description fields are for describing the various facets of your Activity (i.e. the location, what to bring, types of animals, etc.). For each facet, you can enter some text, images and links in a popup box.
Click the green 'plus' button on the right of the field. Fill out the form that appears in the popup box to create a description for one facet of the Activity. When finished, click Done to return to the Activity form where the facet you just created will have been automatically added to the field.
Use the 'Add another item' button to add descriptions for as many facets as you need. To edit one of the facets entered already, click the 'eye' button on the right of the field to open and edit that facet in a new window.
The City field is used for displaying Activities on the maps. Simply specify which City your Activity is located in.
If the City you want to link to already exists on the site, start entering it's name then select it from the list of matching cities that are displayed.
If the City doesn't already exist (i.e. it doesn't appear in the list), click the green 'plus' button on the right of the field. Fill out the form that appears in the popup box to create the City your Activity is located in. When finished, click Done to return to the Activity form where the city you just created will have been automatically added to the field.
While the City field shows where an Activity is located in the world, the Location field shows where it is located within that city (i.e. on the highway, down near the harbour, etc.). Note that you can only add one location on the map, so trying to add multiple markers will result in the previous marker being deleted.
Using the 'hand' tool (top-right of the map), zoom-in on the city where your Activity is located. Once you've found exactly where your Activity is located within the city, use the 'pen' tool to mark it's location on the map.
The List Price is only ever used for ordering a list of products by price, it has no effect on the price customers pay for a product in their shopping cart.
Enter the lowest price of your Activity options (i.e. if your Activity has a 1-hour option of $50 and a 2-hour option of $75, enter '50' as the List Price - the lowest price).
The Option fields are used for listing the various options available for your Activity. For example, you might want to give users the option of a 15, 30 or 60 minute Whale watching trip. Each of these would have a different price (configured later) and possibly a separate description and photos.
Click the green 'plus' button on the right of the field. Fill out the form that appears in the popup box to create an Option for your Activity. When finished, click Done to return to the Activity form where the option you just created will have been automatically added to the field.
Use the 'Add another item' button to add as many Options as you need. To edit one of the options added already, click the 'eye' button on the right of the field to open and edit that option in a new window.

These settings are for publishing or unpublishing content on a certain date. We don't recommend using the 'Publish on' setting, but suggest you use the 'Unpublish on' setting for automatically removing content that has expired. For example, if your Activity is only valid for a certain time, you can enter a date on which the Activity will be automatically removed from the site. This stops the site from displaying old and out-dated content.
