The Event Calendar is the page that lists all of your upcoming events.
Managing the Event Calendar
The Event Calendar menu, located on the Marketing Dashboard, enables you to set the URL and adjust display settings for this page.
- Seller Short Name - Enter the first part of the URL for your event calendar page. We recommend using the name of your main event, venue or organization (without spaces).
-
Begin on Calendar View - Select whether to display your upcoming events with a traditional calendar view. If you select No, your events will be presented as a list.
We recommend choosing No unless you have a great deal of recurring events over a long period of time.
- Show Venue Names - Select whether to display the name of each event's related venue on the page.
Click Update Settings to save your event calendar page.
Please note: Your event calendar page will be skinned with your default design template. Refer to Create a Template if you need assistance designing your template.
Event Listings - Custom Redirect URL
When using Event Ticketing Event Listings, the Custom Redirect URL should be used. This advanced setting triggers the system to redirect customers to your Event Listing link rather than the classic one.
If you're using the Event Calendar list view, when customers click the "Buy Tickets” button, it will link to the Classic Listing link rather than the Event Listings link if you leave the custom redirect URL blank. The same will happen if customers find your event on our website at www.showclix.com. The “Get Tickets” button will link to the Classic Listing if you do not insert your event listing link in the Custom Redirect URL.
Paste your entire Event Listing link URL (including the https:// portion) to the custom redirect URL field. If you forget to include that portion, it will not link correctly.
