How to add an event
A step-by-step guide
First, a Product has to be created in order for the checkout process to work. Second, we create the Event, where we add the Event information, then link the product to it.
Have your assets done before you begin:
• Banner image (size 2130 x 1200 pixels)
• Event title (please include in the title if the event is a ‘Conversation’ or a ‘Lecture’
• Event subtitle, description, date and time, location
• Event zoom link
The assets done for the event section launch of this website are located in this DropBox folder.
Part one – Creating the ‘Product’
First, let’s duplicate a similar product
1 – Open Event Registration in a new browser tab.
2 – Click ‘All’ to see all products.
3 – Click the 3-dot menu on a product you want to duplicate.
4 – Click ‘Edit’.
5 – Duplicate the product.
You have now duplicated a product, and are immediately in its Settings page. Here is a small overview of the product settings page. Note the green areas.
The product settings is a pretty long page, so it has its own menu at the top left hand side.
We are only going to change information in these sections:
• Details (the event title)
• Images (the banner designer for the event)
• Marketing (the url and seo for the event)
6 – Replace the product title.
7 – Replace the product image.
8 – Replace url and SEO with the event title.
Part two – Creating the ‘Event’
Now, let’s duplicate a similar event.
1 – Open the Event page.
2 – Click the 3-dot menu, then click ‘Settings’.
3 – Duplicate the event.
You now have a duplicate draft event in the left-hand menu.
Part three – Editing the ‘Settings’
2 – Modify information in the ‘Options / Status’ section.
3 – Modify information in the ‘Options / Tags’ section.
Re tags: Think of tags as useful categories. For example, the title for this event (Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI - Karen Hao in Conversation with John Borthwick) is a useful tag. This title can also be broken up into several tags. People’s names are also useful tags as is the year of the event.
4 – Modify the address in the ‘Location’ section (if necessary).
Save the settings.
You access the Settings via the 3-dot menu on the draft duplicate event you just created.
1 – Modify information in the ‘Content’ section.
Part four – Editing the public event page
3 – Replace the event image.
You access the public event page by clicking on the draft page in the left hand menu. Then, click the black ‘Edit’ button .
1 – Replace text.
Note that text is selectable and can be copied or typed over.
2 – Replace links on buttons.
For the Zoom button, aquire the link, then paste it into the url field in #3 as shown below.
