Events can be filtered by genre when logged into your ThunderTix account. From the Event Manager, above Upcoming Events, you load events by genre using the drop-down to select upcoming events by genre. In addition, your event website can be displayed by genre.
For example, if you have a Halloween page on your website, you could embed only the events in the Halloween genre. Filtering your public event website by genre is available for all displays: standard event listing, calendar, and date search. To access your public URL for events filtered by genre, simply click the name of the genre (under the Genre column) from your Event Listings. You can also use these links that include the genre for posts on social media. Genres can be a great way to segment events by location, too. Create a genre for each venue or location so that you can easily display events by venue.
Under the Genre columns, click the green plus sign.
Type a genre into the "new genre" field and click Save. Include underscores in genre names with multiple words, as they should not be separated with spaces.
Repeat this for as many genres you would like to add that are relevant to this event.
Segmenting events by genre
Once a genre exists for an event, you can view your public events website for all events that have that genre. To do this, from the Event Manager, just click on any genre to launch a new window to see the segmented list of events. You'll see a URL in your browser that looks like this:
Note the bolded end of the URL. This is the key to getting your events segmented.
To embed this information into a page on your website, head to your Public Display Settings > Link Builder, then click the iframe option and Display All Events.At the bottom of the screen we will display your iframe code for you to copy and paste into a page on your site. It will look something like this:
You'll want to modify the iframe code to use the genre name as displayed in our earlier example with the bolded portion of text. Your iframe code will now look like this:
