We have variable pricing that saves guests money if they buy in advance. We are looking for a way that we can visually display this potential savings through the TNEW calendar. Currently we use a calendar outside of TNEW to add GA admission prices for a regular ticket. I was trying to find a place where we could potentially have TNEW look up the price and display it automatically instead. It isn't ideal because whenever pricing is updated, we have to update the language again on our custom built calendar, and this becomes a daily task.
What I have found so far online include these discussions.
TN Express Web v7 for Tessitura v15 - Page: Listing/Calendar/events (tessituranetwork.com) "Details displayed on the screen (such as titles, dates, venues, and pricing) are pulled directly from the performance setup in Tessitura, by default. Much of this data can be overridden and/or hidden by configuring properties in TNEW using the editors." So there might be a way to swap one of the fields, such as the title, from being pulled and use pricing through editors, is that right?
Buy Link URL Override Question - TN Express Web User Group - TN Express Web - Tessitura Network
This discussed the space for overrides and the limits, I feel like I'm getting closer to the answer here. "There are two separate controls that affect the More Information and Purchase links seen on the calendar page and the event listing pages. There is a separate content type for the text than there is for the link, but neither is designed to accept html in the way that the other content areas are, because it's impacting a link element, and not just converting html on the page. That being said, there is an enhancement request to extend the url content types (i.e. TN_Express_Buy_URL_Override and TN_Express_More_Info_Override) to handle the "_blank" attribute, which would essentially allow the link to open in a separate window.
The Buy Link URL Override is designed to control the buy link on the calendar and event listing pages when an event is available for purchase on the web. If you'd like to modify the label text for the “purchase” button on the Performance Details page you'd change the EventDetail.aspx/BuyButton text in LTR_TN_EXPRESS_WEB_CONTENT. This is a universal text change to the button label for all event detail pages and does not impact the functionality of the button."
