Event Tickets available on Events page

1

Looking for some assistance in making event tickets available for sale on our events page. Right now it seems the only place to have tickets for sale is under our “Wines”, and then in “Event Tickets”. We have a separate “Events Page”, but I don’t know how to make tickets available for purchase through this page.

Here is an event page on my site. I just use a button code and made links.

I stopped using the “Event” component, I just use a regular content page. But you can add the buttons and links to an event/calendar page description.

Here’s the button code:

<p><a class="linkBtn" href="https://www.twistedoak.com/frontcountry"><span>Buy Tickets Now!</span></a></p>

There are actually lots of ways to display events depending on how much information you want to show and where. For example, at https://www.calizawinery.com/#sectionExperience, I used the event component to display the list of events with a click through to the details. The “Buy” buttons are created just as ElJefe has outlined, with an anchor tag and the “linkBtn” class.

The one issue with this is that the list for the event component only has the event name and date/time. If you want more information in your list and maybe a graphic or photo, you could create a dedicated page like ElJefe has done, or you could create an event Content Block template to format the event listing any way you want. That way, you can just paste the content group component wherever you want your list of events to show up. If you make the individual event blocks componentable, you can even paste a single event into a page if you want to have a featured event section. I haven’t actually created one of these, but here is something similar I did for press releases: http://www.acumenwine.com/Press. If you go the Content Block route, you can have a field for the button URL and then put the anchor tag code in the template. I like this since you don’t need someone who knows html to write your event descriptions.

Whichever way you decide to go, the key is to create the event ticket in your products and then get the url of the ticket page to put into your event description’s Buy button.

Thanks to both of you. @Jeff, most of what you said went right over my head, as I was quite proud of myself just getting the button on. :sweat_smile: I am far from having any programming ability whatsoever, and don’t know what and anchor tab or “linkBtn” class means. BUt again, thank you! I got the button on the page. lol.

Getting it done is the most important part! Sorry, I’m actually a Vin65 Certified Designer and I sometimes forget there are lots of folks on here with less design knowledge, especially when it comes to some of Vin65’s design quirks. If you’re interested in customizing the display of your events, I’d be happy to walk you through in more detail, but if you got what you needed, then that’s great! :slight_smile:
