The event page: flyer, date, place and line-up

An event page tells fans what happens when and where, and who plays. Here is how it is built, how you look after it and how you cancel an event.

2 min read

The header of an event page holds the flyer, the name, the event series, the place with a link to the venue, date and time, the category and the genres. A badge shows whether it is an “Official Event” or a “Community Event”. If you have not uploaded a cover image, the flyer lies dimmed in the background. Below come widgets such as Line-up, Timetable, text and links. Fans can follow the event and share it.

Flyer, date and place sit at the very top, the line-up right below.

Editing

Click “Edit” in the bar. In “Management mode” every field in the header has a pencil:

  • “Edit date”: “Starts” with “Time” and, optionally, “Ends”. If the night runs past midnight, the end is the next day.
  • “Edit location”: pick a venue or enter an address of your own.
  • “Change who puts it on”: “Official event” (put on by an organiser, a venue or a crew) or “Community event” (set up by members of the community).
  • “Edit event series”, “Edit category” and “Edit genres”.

With “Change flyer” you upload the flyer, with “Change cover image” a wide image for the header. If there is already an event on the same day at the same place, the page shows it so nothing is created twice. Everything takes effect after “Save”.

You edit date, place and organiser right in the header.

Publishing

A new event is a draft that only the team can see. With “Visible to everyone” it is listed in the directory, on the map and in the feeds. Without a date it shows up neither in the calendar nor in search. If you pick a venue, it needs a point on the map.

Cancel instead of delete

If a published event is off, click “Cancel event” in management mode. The page stays visible and carries the notice “Cancelled”, so everyone following the event learns about it. If it takes place after all, “Undo cancellation” brings it back and tells the followers. “Delete event” removes the page for good; only the owner sees this button.

Series and team

If the event belongs to a night that comes back, put it into an Event series. Under “Team” you give others editing rights. Create an event shows how to set up an event from the start; how fans find events is under Events.
