4 months ago • i was gonna ask if i can still [also] have submissions sent via email –– partly to get an alert & know when there's something to approve, but also cuz people often include info & notes & stuff that i'd delete from a listing but still would wanna have a Record of –– but actually... maybe fuck it??? maybe if i find that's happening a LOT with notes etc. i can throw stuff in slush somewhere... ??? i guess lemme know how difficult / complicated email would be, if it's at all a problem this might just be a Moment for Growth :')
so, getting events by email and automatically "importing" them into the admin is not super super easy, but it's something we could tackle in the future.
you can definitely, of course, still say "please submit your events using the new form or by emailing me", obviously, that's perfectly ok.
but automatic email to database is a bit hard-ish.
• "closed" vs. "open": i've only marked 1 venue "closed" so far, cuz idk if this makes any difference: would it make more sense to set "open" as the default, & then mark things if they're not open (i.e., closed)? the way it's set now, most venues have a red X to indicate that they are not-closed, & the lone closed spot has a green check... this is how canceled events work, too, but it's over to the far right so i don't see it often lol –– for events being approved, pages being visible, etc. usually green check means it's there & red x means it's not..? just to help my brain not get mixed up
yeah, good observation and something I had in mind. let's flip it to track whether the venue is open yeah. issue.
- [ ] add email line; i wanna know who/where submissions are coming from (& i sometimes follow up with Qs & stuff)
- [ ] lowercase text plz!! (other order/wording preferences below, lower-priority)
- [ ] add extra copy to bottom: "note: if there's really no link to yr event, plz email a flyer to contact@nyc-noise.com w/ subject line "[DATE] FLYER" (e.g. "2/14/24 FLYER") & i'll link to that instead; ty!"
below with smaller size text in lines for 1) title, 2) venue override & copy beneath venue override field (can also just have an asterisk & add venue override note to the bottom), 3) ticket link, 4) extra info [...]
–– thing to figure out = PRICE; i don't need single $ sign for default, & i doubt most ppl even know the price cut-offs for $$ (30) + $$$ (50)... will think about it, not urgent, for now i can just change the "$" back to "-----" before approving
we could also include the actual price cut offs in the user submission form i.e. "$$ (30-50), $$$ (50-..."?
