Elevent
List an event's Elevent performances with a booking button on each.
The Elevent block lists an event's performances, wired to Elevent so readers can buy tickets. Each performance appears as a dated row with its own booking button. Use it on an event page, or anywhere you want readers to book through Elevent.
Connect Elevent first
This block appears in the block list only when the Elevent app is connected and synced. Its events and performances are read live from Elevent, so the pickers stay empty until the connection is in place.
The button
On the Button tab:
- Title: an optional heading shown above the button.
- Booking Button: required. The call-to-action that starts booking: its label and an optional icon. The booking destination itself comes from Elevent, so there is no address to enter here.
Which event and performances to book
On the Instances tab. By default, the block books the event the page belongs to. On any other page, point it at the event you want and narrow which performances it offers.
- Filter Season: optional. Narrow the event list to a single season before you pick the event.
- Event: select an event when the block is used outside an event page. On an event page, leave it empty to use the current event.
- Show Instances: required. All Instances (default) lists every performance of the event, each with its own booking button. Choose Specific Instances to limit the list to particular performances.
- Select Instances: appears when Specific Instances is chosen. Pick the exact performances to list.
Shared controls
Beyond the fields above, the block uses the standard block controls.
- Spacing and padding: adjust the margin and padding around the block.
- Layout controls: set the container width.
- Colour scheme in blocks: set the color scheme for the block.
- Buttons and links: style the booking button and choose its icon.
Example
On an event page, add an Elevent block below the event header. Leave Show Instances on All Instances so every performance is listed. Give the Booking Button a clear label such as "Book tickets" with a ticket icon, and add a short Title above it. For a season landing page that lists several shows, set the Event to the show you want. Optionally narrow the choices first with Filter Season, then switch Show Instances to Specific Instances to list a single performance.
