The first version of the MTE Time Slot Calendar for Websites is now available for Beta MTE Timed Entry ticket events. Dynamically display the dates you are open with your event data on any page of your free event website. The large calendar format of the MTE Time Slot Calendar offers a number of customizations:
- Pricing: Display range or minimum per date
- Time: Show start time or the time range you are open each date
- Label: Display custom text (and emojis!)
- Color: Choose a color from your event theme to customize the MTE Time Slot Calendar.
Add and Customize MTE Time Slot Calendar
The MTE Time Slot Calendar is available as a component in the Website Builder for MTE events. This makes it easy to add to any page, including multiple versions with various customizations. Search for Calendar, and choose Time Slot Calendar.
First, create a new design. Add a design name to easily identify your customizations. There are 3 different positions where you can add data or content. Choose from Price, Time, or Custom Label. You can also hide any of the three positions. As you update settings, the date preview refreshes so you can visually see a preview of the MTE Time Slot Calendar.
Click Save Design. Choose the design you want from the dropdown and click Update Time Slot Calendar.
Your MTE Time Slot Calendar will now display on the page and section where you placed it. In the example below, we feature it on the Schedule page from the FAQ menu dropdown.
What’s Coming Next for MTE Time Slot Calendar
We continue to enhance the features and functionality of website calendars for MTE Timed Entry events. There are many more options coming to the Time Slot Calendar later this year, including:
- Ability to edit and delete existing Time Slot Calendar designs. Note that currently, you can only create new designs to override previously used designs.
- Option to set date design overrides. For example, feature a special pricing option, theme color, or “Family Night” custom text on one or some (but not all) dates.
- Sold out date display. This was recently released for the purchase path, and we are working on adding these displays to the small calendar picker as well as the MTE Time Slot Calendar. We will also offer display options for cancelled and past dates.
- Enhanced mobile view. Currently, the large MTE Time Slot Calendar converts to a small calendar picker. In the future, we will add an option to include the date details for mobile devices.
- Display tickets remaining once a certain threshold remains. This setting also currently exists in the purchase path.
