How to edit the Tonka Racing site

Everything on the site can be updated from the admin dashboard — no coding, no waiting. Every change saves straight to the live site the moment you click Save.

Go to the dashboard →

You're reading this signed out — that's fine. To make changes you'll need to sign in with an approved email (see step 1 below).

Signing in

  1. Go to tonkamtb.com/admin.
  2. Type your approved email and click Send passcode.
  3. Check your inbox for a 6-digit code from coaching@tarmac-io.com, type it in, and click Verify & sign in.
  4. You'll stay signed in on that device. Use Sign out (top-right) when you're done on a shared computer.

No email arriving? Only approved addresses receive a code — check spam first, and if it's still missing, your email may not be on the list yet. Ask the site owner to add it.

The dashboard at a glance

Once you're in, the page is split into four areas, top to bottom:

  • Site pages — show or hide whole pages.
  • Page content — edit the words on each page.
  • Races — post call-up lists and volunteer links.
  • Coaching curriculum — edit the weekly coaching plans.

Each area saves on its own — there's no single "save everything" button. Click the Save button inside whichever box you edited.

Show or hide a page

In Site pages, each page has a toggle switch:

  • Flip it to Hidden and the page disappears from the menu and can't be opened by anyone — even with a direct link.
  • Flip it back to Visible any time. It saves the instant you flip it.

Example: the Coaches page is hidden for now — turn it on once you're ready to introduce the staff.

Edit the words on a page

In Page content, pick a page from the row of tabs (Home, About, Join, Races, Practice). Then:

  1. Edit any field — a heading, a paragraph, a button label, and so on.
  2. For fields that are lists (like "what to bring"), put one item per line. Each line becomes its own bullet.
  3. Click Save for that page. You'll see Saved ✓.
  4. Click Preview page ↗ to open the live page in a new tab and check your work.

Only the text is editable here — layout, colors, and photos stay consistent automatically.

Update a race weekend

In Races, each race weekend has its own box. You can fill in:

  • Call-up list — paste a link, or type a short note like "posted at check-in."
  • Volunteer sign-up — paste the link (these usually go live the Friday of the race weekend).
  • MCA race info — the league's course/venue link.
  • Schedule and Note — race-day timing and any special reminder (e.g. "qualification required").

Click Save weekend # under the box you changed. Empty fields simply won't show on the site, so it's fine to fill them in as the info becomes available.

6

Edit the coaching curriculum

At the bottom, under Coaching curriculum, pick a week from the list on the left, edit the fields, and click Save week. A few formatting notes appear right under the boxes that need them:

  • Put one item per line in the list-style boxes (rider tasks, coach cues, pocket card).
  • In "How to run the ride," start a step with # for its heading and - for bullet points.
  • For videos, use Title | https://youtu.be/…, one per line.

Review marketplace listings

When a family submits an item to the Marketplace, you get an email and it appears in the admin Marketplace panel under Pending review. There you can:

  • Approve — publishes it to the marketplace.
  • Reject — discards it.
  • For live listings: Mark sold (or Re-list) and Remove.

Sellers' contact info is never shown publicly. Buyers send a message through the listing and it's relayed to the seller by email, so the seller stays private.

Good to know

  • Changes are instant and public. The moment you save, visitors see it.
  • Save each box separately — clicking Save in one area doesn't touch the others.
  • If you ever see "Session expired — reload", just refresh the page and sign in again.
  • It all works on your phone too, if you'd rather update on the go.
  • Need another coach to have access? The site owner can add their email to the approved list.
