Farewell, Old Features!
Radmin or Admin? One can get confused about where to do what - especially since a lot of the features up and running in Radmin are still alive in Admin.
So, we've decided to put an end to that nonsense.
Tomorrow morning, we'll be removing many of the duplicate features from Admin to cut down on the mumbo jumbo and ensure that you won't be wasting your valuable time on obsolete processes:
- Adding Events
- Editing Events
- Adding bands
- Setting up RSVPs
- Setting up Giveaways
- Setting up Slideshows
- Custom CSS
- Voting
- RSVP Lists
- RSVP Emails
- Setting up Advertisements
- Editing Giveaways
- Accessing Opt-in Emails
Say hello to a cleaner world of content management! And please give us a shout if you or any member of your team has questions about where or how to access these features in Radmin.
Did you make an awesome list? We can now transform that user into a national user in a matter of seconds. Profile information, photo, artist follows and vanity URL (if possible) will all carry over - so if you spent your morning building a 'Pitchfork's Most Anticipated Artists of 2015' user and want to save other metros the trouble, just slack the user our way.
Hello, On Sale Filters!
Each metro should be pushing out a new 'Just Announced' or 'Big On Sales' list weekly (example) - and we're going to save you a ton of time in building yours: You can now filter Approved Events by 'Upcoming On Sales' to see all of your events with an on sale date any time in the future.
Then, all you need to do to build your user is vote on the headiest shows and you're ready to roll. That's a quality content feature in 10 minutes, yo.
Updates Updates Updates:
You can now select all visible giveaway winners at once. This is going to be crucial when papering shows. Simply check the 'Mark All Displayed Winners' box to select every visible winner and you're set. The days of checking each individual box are over.
Please note: The 'Pick Winners' module displays every entrant selected as a winner plus 100 random entrants. So, if you had 300 entrants for a giveaway and you need to make everyone a winner, you'll need to:
- Load the 'Pick Winners' screen
- Select 'Mark All Displayed Winners'
- Refresh your screen
- Repeat the process until all 300 winners are selected
- Click 'Notify Winners' and send.
Content Grouping:
We implemented Content Grouping in Google Analytics. Content Grouping allows you to pull together and analyze reporting data across a certain type of page on your site (event, venue, user, etc). To access these content groups in Google Analytics, go to Behavior --> Site Content --> All Pages, and then select the Page Type content grouping. From there, you can click any of the content groups to see traffic to only those types of pages.
Please note: This just went live yesterday, so you'll only be able to use it for data from here onward.

Home Improvements:
You can now edit the Advertiser field on a Featured Venue Widget. In the past, creating a new widget also created a new advertiser that was linked forever to that widget. Now, metros can easily assign an advertiser to a widget in the same manner as other ad units - and metros can also assign multiple widgets to the same advertiser, if so desired.

The 'Ask if Minimum Age?' box for giveaways is now unchecked by default. Now you only have to check the box if you need it. Note - this box becomes unchecked the moment the giveaway becomes 'active' - so if you're scoring this product update at home, make sure you're only checking this on active giveaways. ;)
Big Bug Fixes:
Emails added to the Giveaway Email(s) fields will appear correctly when notifying venues. The 'To' field in 'Notify Venue' emails will now display the sum of all emails added to both of the Giveaway Email(s) fields - in the giveaway module and the venue's page.
Event descriptions will always carry over whenever copying events. There was a bug that was causing copies of events to be description-less, which resulted in more work for CMs. No longer, though!
We fixed two bugs caused by sharing Spanish-language events - and also made an edit to HazDF's band notifications.
We got rid of the 'Winner selection has not yet moved to Radmin' box. Because it has.
We've adjusted our bounce rate to only include users who have been on a page for 15 seconds or less. In the past, a bounce included any single visit to the site - no matter how long. However, we wanted bounces to only reflect visitors who didn't seem to find what they were looking for. Now, for example, a user who clicks on a p/page from social, spends 10 minutes reading it and then closes the site to go back to work will no longer be counted as a bounce.
Who has questions? Who has comments? We hope these new features make your day, week, site and city considerably more awesome.
ALL OF THESE GIFS ARE MY FAVORITE [but especially slim shady slipping into his acid trip on TV]
