New Features
New Compact Modern Theme Header Option
We’ve added a new masthead / header option to the Modern Theme. The new header option offers a compact view of the masthead image with a larger event logo or poster that’s visible on both the event details & tickets page.
Select this header option to activate the new compact header:
View Poster / Logo on Event
We’ve updated our event pages to make the event poster / logo clickable on the event and ticketing pages.
New Affiliate & Promoter Link Support on Sales Modal & Widgets
We’ve added support for new affiliate links (click tracking) and additional flexibility for promoter affiliate links in the Sales Modal and Embed Widgets. You can now add a flexible list of params to your sales modal and widget code to customize tracking.
Optimizations & Platform Improvements
Shopping Cart / Access Point Settings & UX Updates
We’ve made a number of improvements to simplify and clarify setting up a Shopping Cart event and creating Access Points.
- Shopping Cart Settings: The Shopping Cart settings have moved from Event Settings to Schedule / Access Points
- Access Point Entrance Requirement Wording: We’ve clarified the terminology around access point check-in / entrance requirements but have not made any changes to functionality.
- Check-In Requirements Wording: We’ve updated the following terminology:
- Entrance Requirement → now Check-In Requirement
- No Entrance Requirement → now Display Only (No Check-in Requirement)
- Registration Required → now Single Main Entrance Check-In (Ticket Required)
- Ticket & Registration Required → now Timed Entry, Shopping Cart, Auto Registration Check-In (Ticket & Registration Required)
- Simplified UX
- We’ve removed the need for the “Limit Attendee Registration to Specific Registration Types” toggle and automatically display a list of ticket types for the Ticket Required or Ticket & Registration Required check-in requirement
Promoter Dash & Link Updates
We’ve made a number of updates to promoter links:
- Remove promoter name from event listing URL: The promoter name is no longer included in the promoter event listing page URL and has been replaced by their promoter ID
- Remove promoter name from page name: For the event listing page, the promoter name has been removed so it will no longer appear in texted links
- Promoter name removed from links: The promoter name is no longer included as the utm_name in URLs
- utm_name included for custom links: The utm_name is now included by default for all custom links in the link URL
Set Org Role When Creating Org Users
We’ve added the ability for org admins to set an organization user role during the user creation process. Previously, you needed to create a new user then assign them a role.
