The “Played so far” widget: show your past gigs

The Played so far widget shows past dates as a timeline, newest first. Each line names the date, the name and the place. Events on EDM Hub are linked; cancelled ones carry the note Cancelled.

The widget suits profile pages (artists and supporters), venue, crew and event series pages. Event pages do not offer it. The owner and the team of the page can add and edit it.

How to add the widget

1. Open your page and tap Edit in the bar. The page is now in Management mode.
2. Tap Add a widget here where you want it (on an empty page, tap Add widget).
3. In the group Dates, choose the tile Played so far, or look for it in Search widgets.
4. Set everything up in the dialog (see below) and tap Insert.
5. Tap Save in the bar. Only then can everyone see the widget.

What you set in the dialog

• General: In the field Heading (English) you give the tile a title, for example “Played”. Leave it empty for no heading. At most 200 characters, with a version per language.
• Content: On venue, crew and event series pages there is nothing to enter here: the past dates come from the page’s events; these pages have no gig entries. For a crew these are the events its artists play and the events whose team the crew is in, for example as promoter. With a confirmed e-mail address, Create event opens a new tab where you create an event.
• Preview: Under Visible without scrolling you choose how many dates the tile shows before it scrolls: 1 to 12, Default: 4. Reset brings the default back.

Your own gig entries on profile pages

Events on EDM Hub you are linked on appear by themselves. For gigs without an event on EDM Hub, add an entry of your own under Add a gig entry:

1. Event: the name of the night (optional).
2. Date and time: the Date must be before today, the Time is optional.
3. Where: search a place on the platform. If it is not listed, choose “Add … as your own place” and then search the City – it has to come from the list.
4. Link: optional, an address starting with https://.
5. Tap Add entry. In a narrow window the form opens as a layer of its own; there, Done adds the entry.

Through the menu of a row you can Edit or Remove an entry. You can keep up to 200 past entries. All changes apply once you save the page.

What visitors see

Visitors see the timeline with the count in the head of the tile, such as “3 past”. Tapping an event opens the event page, a platform place opens the venue page, and Link opens the link you entered. When there are more dates than you set, the list scrolls inside the tile.

Common problems

• “No past dates yet.” The page has no past event and no past gig entry yet.
• “Choose a date before today.” Today’s and coming gigs belong in the Upcoming dates widget.
• “Pick a city from the list.” For your own place, type three characters and pick a suggestion.
• An entry is missing on the page. If it says Shown by the event, an event exists for the place; the page then shows the event instead of the entry.
• Changes are gone. Gig entries and the widget are only kept with Save.
