What is the Bullseyehub Add Event Form
Bullseyehub makes it easy for you to automatically collect event listing data from visitors to your website with the Add Event Form. When a web visitor fills out the Add Event Form, the event listing content is sent via the Bullseyehub API back to your website where it will appear in your listings.
Getting Started
To use the Bullseyehub Add Event Form, you must first integrate the Bullseyehub API into your website so that listings from the form can be sent back to your site.
Once you have integrated the Bullseyehub API, you may request a unique Add Event Form Key by emailing us directly.
The key will be ten characters long and consist of numbers and letters.
An example key might look like 2ad03a036e.
Adding the Add Event Form to Your Website
To install the form on your website, simply copy and paste the code below into your website’s source code where you would like the form to appear.
<script src="http://widgets.bullseyehub.com/forms/your_key.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
You must replace your_key with the 10 character key you were provided
when you signed up for an Add Event Form key.
We do not currently offer SSL support. If this is something you require please contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take for events submitted through the form to appear on my site?
When you or your developer initially configured the Bullseyehub API integration in your website, you specified how often new events get uploaded to your site from the API – you may have daily, twice-daily or hourly updates.
Events submitted through the Add Event Form will sit in the API queue until the next time your website requests that information.
Will I be able to approve events before they appear on my site?
Events added through the Add Event Form will automatically appear on your website. If you need to moderate or remove content, you will need to do that through your website’s CMS after the event has been published.
Will I be able to see the contact details for the people who submit events to my site?
No personal details submitted via the Add Event Form will be published in the API. We can however provide you with each individual's contact details directly if you so wish.
Customising the Add Event Form
The Add Event Form has very basic styling and will try to adopt native styles from your website’s CSS file. You can, however, override the form's styling by adding attributes to your website’s CSS file.
To do this, you should start each additional attribute with
div#bullseyehub_new_event_form to specify the correct element in the
Bullseyehub Add Event Form.
For example, to change the colour of all labels in the form, you would add the following CSS:
div#bullseyehub_new_event_form label {
color: red;
}
