Product Update: Pages Drafts, Spammers, Notify Venue Emails & More!

Our regular Product Updates give you a rundown of the features and bug fixes that were rolled out over the past week, plus a look ahead to some of the bigger changes that are on the way.

By Popular Request

We added a published / unpublished toggle to /p pages. Now, you can build a /p page and keep it hidden from search until you're ready for the world to see it!

From now on, all /p pages will begin as 'unpublished' by default - which means they're hidden from front end search.


When you're ready to publish your page, click the (edit) pencil, check the 'Published?' box and save the page. The page can then be easily surfaced through front end search (and anywhere else you choose to feature it).


Given the way front end search results are cached, this feature is only meant to be used to hide /p pages from search before publishing. Once a /p page is published, unpublishing it will not immediately remove it from search.

Also please note that this feature will not be able to hide your drafts from Google or any other search engines - only metro-wide searches.

Giveaway Winners

We fleshed out your 'Notify Venue' emails to be rich in both information and character. Prior to this update, the 'Notify Venue' emails only included the winners' names and email addresses - so it was up to metros to add the rest of the information every time one was sent.

Spam Prevention

We added the ability to mark a user as a Spammer. Do you have a user that's adding strange or spammy events to your site? Go to their User Page in Radmin and mark them as a Spammer!


When a 'Spammer' attempts to add an event, our site's front end appears to follow the exact same steps and UI as it does when a regular user is adding an event - but doesn't actually save the event the Spammer is attempting to add.

We moved the 'Ask Zip?' checkbox to a more logical place in the RSVP modal.

Workflow Aids

We limited the number of events that display in your featured venue widgets and the widget portion of your featured venue reports to 25. This will allow your featured venue reports to load considerably more quickly. Prior to this update, these widgets never had an upper event limit - so ad reports for venues with 100+ upcoming events would often time out during export.

Please note that this fix will not effect your ad data counts as it will only be hiding events that never get a chance to load (or be interacted with) anyway.

We added Venue Keywords to Radmin. To ensure that all logical variations on a venue's official name are searchable on the front end of your site, be sure to include them as 'Keywords' on the venue's page in Radmin.


We added the ability to immediately wipe a user's list of upcoming events. This allows us to update the '_____ in our Town' features without going through each metro's list and manually removing every single event. On a related note, look out for a SX In Our Town list coming soon!

We exposed 'Category:_____' as an event field in our JSON. Partners such as DoLA's "Visit West Hollywood that want to license our data for a fee (as opposed to having an ECP) will now be able to sort our .JSON event feed into categories.

We fixed a bug that prevented metros from publishing property images. HazDF noticed that they were unable to change their mobile icon - but this has been fixed.

We also fixed a bug on HazDF's Latest form and another on their RSVP Emails - and added Spanish Email Error Notifications and Confirm Delete Account? pages to their site.

Thanks for reading this week's update - a huge hats off to Dev and a GIGANTIC thanks to YOU for all of your hard work and valuable suggestions! Have a wonderful rest of your week.
