At TLCC2014 I attended a session that mentioned being able to display webpages in the Custom Tab of the Performance Information screen. I have followed the notes from the session, and have been able to add the View Webpage radio button, but am having difficulty getting the correct webpages to appear for our events. I suspect this has to do with how we have our web folders structured. For example, we have a Lyle Lovett concert on Saturday and the webpage with the detail information we want to display on the Performance Information Custom Tab is: http://www.mcfta.org/event/lyle-lovett/e19567/. We also have a Peter and the Wolf concert on Sunday and that webpage is: http://www.mcfta.org/event/peter-and-the-wolf/e18944/. So the structure of the detail pages is similar: www.mcfta.org/event/performance name/e+perfid#/.
Can anyone help me figure out what to enter into the TR_Custom_Tab system table to display the correct event webpage, or is this not possible with the way we have our web folders structured?
Thanks in advance!
Penny,
I don't think you can have a url like that out of the box because the name of the perforamnce value is not available. Possibly what you could do is have a web page that takes the performance number and looks up what the formatted url should be. Then it could redirect to the correct url.

Hey Jon,
Yes, that was pretty much the problem - the URL contained the production name as well as the ID.
A quick test showed their website could handle the URL without the production name and would redirect accordingly, so typing this into TR_CUSTOM_TAB produces successful results and displays their production webpage in the Custom Tab of the Performance Information screen :
http://www.mcfta.org/event/e<<key>>/

Hey Beau...
Is it the production id or the production season id or the perf_no that gets passed through as the <<key>> value from there? I can't see that anywhere in the documentation.
Ken
Hey Ken,
It's perf_no that gets passed through as the <<key>> value.
