Redesign UPdate: Event Image Changes

To improve how you manage event images on the new site, we have made a couple changes.

Hero to Photo

The image formerly known as the "hero" is now the photo. The photo is chosen in the following order (so if not the first, the second and so on):
  1. Manually added
  2.  Headliner (top artist) photo
  3. Venue photo
Where the photo displays:
  • Top of event page 
  • Background of the event card on the listing page

Poster as Poster

The poster is still the poster. It is chosen in the following order:
  1. Manually added
  2. Scraped
Where the poster displays:
  • Below the event description on the event page

For an example, check out this event: http://donyc.com/events/2013/12/12/dj-uestlove-presents-bowl-train

  • Photo is ?estlove's photo as headliner
  • Poster is Brooklyn Bowl's poster

Management

You'll notice a "DO NOT USE" space in the event "Manage Photos" modal. Don't use it! It was part of the transition as we made these changes.

The photo going forward will NOT be a scraped image. This is an incentive to have good headliner images and improve band content!

The poster is intended as a space for the text posters that venues use for shows. Some venue calendars you scrape may show artist photos and appear redundant in that space. If you don't want a scraper to pull in images for this reason, request a fix to the scraper to ignore them (please be aware of whether you are requesting a fixed to a shared network scraper).

We have also now made it easier to edit event pages on your site! If you haven't checked out the little pencil icon in the bottom corner, do so! You'll be able to delete images from the front-end event edit page as we want to make this an easier place to make changes as you check over your site.
