Verify Your Venue IMPORTANT: Before you begin creating your event, first make sure that the venue where your event is taking place is already in your metro's venue database. You can search for it by going to Radmin -> Venues -> Search. If you can't find your venue, click New Venue and add it to the database. Adding an Event Once you've made sure your venue is in the database (or once you've added it yourself), it's time to create the event page. To add a new event:
You'll then be taken to the following screen: Next, let's go through each field on this screen (Note: requires fields are marked with an asterisk)
Next you'll see four check boxes:
If you'll scroll back up to the top of the page and look at right-hand side column, you'll see additional fields:
Now you're ready to fill out the Tickets section, seen here:
Next, you'll come to the Custom CSS section. We don’t recommend adding custom CSS to event pages. This is almost always used by DoStuff’s design team to facilitate sponsored enhancements to event pages created for paid advertisers. Finally, you'll arrive at the Extras section:
You're almost there! All you have to do is click Save to create your event page! If there were any required fields that didn't get filled out, you'll see a notification letting you know that you need to go ahead and do so. Once you're done filling them out, click Save again and you should be all set. But you're not quite done! Now it's time to work on your event's description... and this will take place on the front-end! Adding an Event Description After hitting Save to create your event, you'll be taken back to the Approved events queue. Find your event at the top of the queue, click the cog-wheel to the far-right, then click View to be taken to your newly-created event. In order to be able to edit your event's description, you must be signed in using a user with Event Editor permission (hit up Support if you need this permission granted to you). The editor we use to write descriptions is the same used when creating Editorial pages. It’s customary to keep our event descriptions fairly short and sweet, only including information relevant to the event. We recommend an average length of 2-3 sentences. Note: It’s also customary for us to copy our descriptions from the event provider (Facebook, for example). When pasting your description into the editor, be sure to use Command-Shift-V to carry in the words without any of the markup. Once you've added your description, your event page is all set!
