Once you've installed the plugin aan set up your festival or season, you can edit the templates for the results tiles, search filters, events, performances and venues:
Event Template
Use this section to determine what information from Eventotron you want displayed on event pages, set up your results tiles and search filter options.
Click on Header – here you can add more information to the event header. For example you may want to include the company/artist name. Make sure you have assigned this field an API field name in Eventotron and then you will see it as an option in the dropdown. Select and click Add.
Now you will see your API field name (eg: companyname) under Meta Key.
Styling – choose any styling you’d like to apply
Follow on – tick this if you want the company name to follow on from the field above on one line (test this as it can look odd in some instances)
Icon – click and upload an icon you’d like to use to the media library or use one installed by Eventotron
Label – Insert a label if you would like one (for example Company name:)
Display Value – Tick this to display the data from the Meta Key
Link – Add a link if required
Append – Enter any text you would like to have appear at the end
To add any further information click on the Add some free text dropdown and select the meta key you want to have appear. You can reorder your information by simply dragging and dropping.
Save settings.
Social
Here you can add social media links. Facebook and Twitter are automatically included – to add another, click the dropdown and select the relevant meta key (eg: Instagram)
Set it up as you want (see above for details) in the link field, put the social media platform URL followed by /*
eg: https://www.instagram.com/*
(You need to make sure social media links have been added correctly in Eventotron for this to work. You could add the following advice in the help text: Do not include ‘www.facebook.com/’ )
Sidebar – this refers to the sidebar on the right– here you can add any information you want, follow the same process as detailed above.
More Info – this appears at the bottom of the event description. Add in anything you’d like here – maybe a quote or the company/artist website.
CSS – You can add CSS here
Filter Options
Tick which standard filters you would like to have appear.
You can add your own custom filters:
Custom Filter One – choose the meta key you would like to have as a filter (Venue for example) give the filter a name and select either dropdown or multi-select depending on how you want users to be able to search. Save settings.
Advanced Search – select this to create more detailed search options on your festival/season criteria
Toggles – build your advanced searches in toggle dropdowns:
Result Tiles
Add more information to the result tiles. For example, you might want to include the venue name. Click the dropdown, select the venue meta key and add it. Style as described above and save settings.
Import / Export
This feature is experimental – please double check your export has downloaded properly.
Performance Template
Use this section to determine what information from Eventotron you want displayed on performance pages (https://your.website/performances)
Works in exactly the same way as the Event template – see above for details.
Venue Template
Import Venue – Venues are imported alongside their events but, if you need to display a venue that doesn’t have any events then please enter its Eventotron ID.
Set up works in the same way as the Event template, however, all the meta keys are from the venue sections in Eventotron rather than Info Collection.
Performance List Template
You can choose whether to show performance list template on Event Template Only or Event and Performance Template. This is an advanced feature – The Event template will always show all available performances. By default, the Performance template will only display details and buy button for the performance the user has selected.
Column One – You can add to or change the meta key data in the first column in the performance list here.
Column Two – works in the same way as above
Column Three – works in the same way as above
