Upcoming dates: your next gigs as a timeline

“Upcoming dates” lists what is coming next: date, name, place and, if you like, a link to tickets. You don’t have to maintain the list – events linked to your page appear by themselves, and a date drops off the list once it has passed. For past dates there is the “Played so far” widget.

The widget is there for profile, venue, crew and event series pages; event pages do not offer it. It can be added by the page’s owner and by its admins and moderators.

Where the dates come from

• Venue, crew, event series: “The dates come from this page’s events.” For a crew these are the events its artists play and the events whose team the crew is in, for example as promoter. If a date is missing, create it as an event – in the window, “Create event” takes you there in a new tab.
• Profile page: “The dates come from this page’s events and gig entries.” Events on EDM Hub you are linked on appear automatically. Gigs that don’t exist on EDM Hub as an event you enter yourself as a gig entry.

How to add the widget

1. Tap “Edit” in the bar of your page, then “Add widget” or one of the “Widget” buttons between the tiles.
2. In the “Dates” group choose the “Upcoming dates” tile. “Add “Upcoming dates”” opens.
3. Optional: enter a heading under “General”, such as “Tour dates”.
4. Under “Preview”, “Visible without scrolling” sets how many dates the tile shows: with “Fewer dates” and “More dates”, from 1 to 12. The default is 4. Visitors reach further dates by scrolling inside the tile.
5. Tap “Insert”, then “Save” in the bar at the top.

Gig entries on your profile page

1. In the window, under “Gig entries”, tap “Add a gig entry”.
2. “Event”: the name of the night, optional.
3. “Date and time”: choose the “Date” – today or later. The “Time” is optional (HH:MM).
4. “Where”: search for the place and pick it from the list. If it isn’t on EDM Hub, add it as your own place and pick the “City” from the list.
5. “Link”: optional, for example to the ticket shop. The address has to start with https://.
6. Tap “Add entry”. A row’s menu lets you “Edit” or “Remove” it.

Gig entries apply once you save the page. If there is an event on EDM Hub for an entry, the widget shows the event instead of the entry; the list then says “Shown by the event”. You can have up to 50 upcoming gig entries. To make the date an event, create it through “Create” in the navigation.

What visitors see

Visitors see a timeline: date (“Today” on the day itself), name and place. An event leads to its event page; a cancelled event carries “Cancelled”. A gig entry with a link shows “Link”, which opens in a new tab. If there are more dates than are visible, “… more inside the card” appears below.

When something isn’t right

• “No dates announced yet.” – There is no upcoming date right now. Create an event or, on your profile page, a gig entry.
• An event is missing – It isn’t linked to your page; for example you aren’t in its line-up or it doesn’t take place at your venue. Ask the organisers to link you.
• A gig entry isn’t taken – The window names what is missing: “date missing”, “place missing”, “city not picked from the list” or “link invalid”.
• “You have 50 upcoming gig entries.” – Remove one to add a new one.
