Intro

This issue has been opened specifically to give 100Devs members a chance to get involved. The issues presented will have more instruction and be easier to solve. If you are already contributing to this project or your skills are well-ahead of this issue, consider letting someone else take this on!

Summary

Our button to create a new event after submitting a new one is wrapped in an anchor tag with an href to the landing page (/)

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go through the event creation form
2. Submit it
3. Click on "New Event"
4. You'll be on the landing page

The Task

Creating your branch

• Fork the Together repository.
• Navigate to the development branch using git checkout development.
• Create a new branch using git checkout -b your-branch-name-here.
• If you have questions, more instructions about this can be found in our contributing document.

Setting up a local server

• Execute npm install
• Execute npm run dev-concurrent in a vscode terminal.
• If you get errors, you may have to do one of the following:
• Delete your node_modules folder and then run npm i
• Make sure you have a .env file with the necessary secrets

What you need to do

Remove the anchor element surrounding the "New Event" button. Modify the css of the elements so that the page visually remains the same. (Or a janky solution would just be to turn the anchor tag into a div with the exact same css classes.)

When you are done

-Use git add . and then git commit -m 'add a descriptive commit message here' to commit your changes to your local branch. -Push your commit(s) using git push. -Open your fork in github and you will see a message saying you can create a pull request. Make sure your pull request is pulling into the 'development' branch instead of 'main'.
