We've cleaned up the layout and organization of information and links on all event detail pages. Here's a summary of what's new:
- 1. We've added a date box at the top left of every event detail page, so at a glance you can see when the event is. If the event extends more than one day, we'll show the starting date followed by a plus sign.<
- 2. The venue information section has been renamed "Where" and moved from the right of the page to the left, and placed under the "When" section.
- 3. The description for the event is now in a newly-named "What" section.
- 4. The Cost, Links, and Comments sections are pretty much as they were before. To add a link to an event, just click the little "add" link under the word "Links".
- 5. We've moved the "add to group or calendar" feature to the upper right of event detail area. The button will appear as a "+" plus sign if you've not already added the event anywhere. Otherwise it will appear as a set of "+/-" plus/minus signs, indicating you can add this event to a group or calendar, or remove from a group or calendar you've already added it to.
- 6. You can now click on the event image to see the full-size version of the image as it was originally uploaded by the event creator. The full-size image will appear in a pop-up window, so you'll need to have your browser configured to allow pop-up windows to see it.
- 7. We've moved the "Who's Going" list to a more prominent position right under the event image. If you haven't indicated you're going, the system will ask you, "Are you going?" If you click "Are you going?" the system will (assuming you're signed in) add your name to the list. Your name is always in bold. You can remove your name from the "Who's Going" list by clicking on the little "(x)" next to your name.
- 8. We've moved the tags list from the far right column into the event detail area, positioned underneath the Who's Going list.
- 9. If the event has been added to a public group or calendar, the name(s) of the groups or calendars will appear underneath the Tags list. You can click on any group or calendar names to go see those items.
10. We've cleaned up the set of user options in the right-hand column. You can Email this event to someone, create a similar event, or, and this is a new feature -- report a problem with this event. Specifically, you can indicate that you believe this event is a duplicate of some other event, or contains incorrect information, is abusing EVDB's Terms of Use, contains mature content, is SPAM, or has some other problem. There's also space to leave a note.
We've also cleaned up and redesigned the "Owner Tools" section of the event details page. This section appears if you are signed in and the system realizes you're the creator of the event you're viewing. The Owner Tools section provides links to edit the event, add a sub-event to this event, withdraw this event, or submit it to other websites using our universal auto-submit feature blogged about recently here. We list the submission status of each site; by default, everything says "not submitted".
We hope the new layout makes it easier to read and quickly get the information you need. Let us know if there's anything you'd like to see added to the event detail pages, thanks!
