Content Widgets 

You can create content widgets based on categories and add them to editorial pages across your site, you can use our horizontal or portrait widgets and choose the number of events to be displayed. NOTE: You can not operate a calendar and a widget on the same page. 

Settings for Content Widgets

  • Widget orientation can be portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal).
  • Number of events to display can be set from 1 to 5. If the widget is not given enough space horizontally for a widget to display 5 events in a 'landscape' view then the widget will only show as many events that it can fit within the allotted space.
  • Root Category selection will limit the types of events that show in the widget to only events in that category. If you pick a higher level category like "Live Music" then all sub-categories under that root category will be included.

Custom Category Widgets

You can select one category to make your widget specific to a page. For example, to configure a widget for your site's Community events page simply select the top-level "Community" category from the widget configuration. Grab that code and it will only show events that have been labeled with the Community category.

Submit Event URL's

Here you can find a URL which you can add to your site, place in the footer, link from ad banners, use in email and social media driving local audiences to submit events. You can have a submit URL that will go directly to the form for information, OR you can have a URL + Snap Sell which will show the user an offer to upgrade before they land on the submission form.

We highly recommend adding your 'Submission URL's to the footer of your site so all users can quickly and easily find how to promote an event.
