Links for your event

You will want to add links to your website that members of the public can use for

• Pre-registering a car
• Buying tickets
• Purchasing vendor or swap spaces
• Signing up to work one or more shifts

Middletwin makes this easy and provides for a seamless integration with your web site and the Middletwin system. When you setup your Middletwin account you picked a unique subdomain for your own Middletwin portal. To find out what the subdomain was you can go to the Administration tab from the mail Middletwin page and select the Member Portal icon

At the top of this page you will see “The url for your member portal is:” and below that will be your member portal. For the remainder of this instruction we will assume your subdomain is “acme”. This would make the url for your portal “acme.middletwin.com”. You can go to this url at anytime to see what your public facing portal looks like.

Option One – Link to The Event Panel

The url for your events landing page on the portal will be “acme.middletwin.com/portal/events“.

Here is an example of the panel for an event that is using all the capabilities of Middletwin, Pre-registrations, swapper signup, ticket sales, and volunteer scheduling.

You can modify nearly all the text that appears on this panel in the Show Settings. Note that there is also text that appears before the event, you can modify that too.

You can choose to just link to this URL from your web site.

Option Two – Link to Each Event Item

Alternatively you can link to the landing page for each item. To do this, click on each of the buttons to get the unique url for this event, for example, click on the “Register Now $x.xx” button (registration will need to be enabled and the start date will need to be set appropriately for it to be enabled). This will open the browser to the first step in the registration process.

The first step in the registration process

Take note of the url to this page in your browser. It should look something like this

acme.middletwin.com/portal/events/12/register

Especially note that number after events and before register, that is the event number and is unique for each event that you create in Middletwin, so this URL will not work for all events, only for the event you are working on, and will not work for future events.

You can add a link or a button with the words “Register Here” on your event web site, and have it link to this link.

In addition, when linking in this way, you can add a redirect to the URL to have it redirect to a page on your web site after the customer has completed the registration process. To do this, add the following to your url

?redirect=http://www.myevent.com/thankyou.html

This will redirect the user to a thankyou.html page on the web site www.myevent.com.

If you choose this method of linking, you will need to create links for all purchasing options on Middletwin on your web site.
