10/27/2024: Adding shows is self-serve now, through a shared spreadsheet.
If you prefer to edit through WordPress, contact the site admin!
Adding Events
- Check first that your listing hasn’t already been added.
- Add your show in an empty line below the rest of the list.
- Shows are automatically transferred to the site once per hour. If after 2 hours you still don’t see an update, please report it to admin@rishows.com!
Date and Time
If you’re using a computer (not a phone), Date and Start Time columns format automatically in the spreadsheet – no need to adhere to any particular standard. Just type the date any way you want and hit tab. [feedback requested: how to do this on a phone?]
Venue
Selecting a Venue from the dropdown list is required. If your venue is missing, select “Other” from the list and include the name in the Description field. (You can also request the venue name be added permanently to the list by writing it into the “Notes to the Admin” field.)
Cost
Cost needs to either be a number or words, not both. because of a bug in the system, if you write something like “$15 PWYC”, it will strip out the word “PWYC” and leave the “$15”. if you write “PWYC” with no numbers it’s fine though. to get around this, put one or the other in the Cost field, and then add more detail into the Description.
Image
Images need to be uploaded elsewhere first. The system takes the image file URL and imports it. The URL must contain an image file extension like .jpg, .png, or .gif, or it won’t import. You can use an image upload site (e.g. imgbb.com) to add your image if it’s not already on the internet. You might need to right-click on the image and select “Copy Image Link” to get the right URL.
Duplicates & “Multiples”
The system matches shows based on Date + Venue to avoid duplicates. If there are two shows at the same venue on the same day, use the “Multiples #” column to add a different number to each one (it doesn’t matter what number, as long as they are different).
Removing Events
Write “[CANCELLED]” or something similar in the “Show Title” column, then notify admin@rishows.com for removal.
