Full Fat Calendar Widget

The "Full Fat" calendar widget renders a full-blown calendar to select the performance date and time of a specific product. It is designed to be embedded on a standalone "calendar"-type page. You can check out a working demo here.

Embedding the Widget

Ensure you've got a valid channel id.
Create a new html page and add the following markup, switching the configurable data in braces with your own.


<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Full Fat widget example</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div
        data-app="inventory-app"
        data-action-url="{http://your-website-url/destination-page.html}"
        data-channel-id="{your-channel-id}"
        data-view-name="full-fat-calendar"
        data-product-id="{id of product e.g. 1587 for "Wicked"}"
        data-product-type="{should be show/attraction}"
        data-api-path="https://inventory-service.tixuk.io"
    ></div>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://inventory-service.tixuk.io/v5/js/quicksearch.js"></script>

Full Fat Calendar Display for Shows vs Attractions

Due to internal data and API differences, there are slight differences in terms of how the full fat calendar displays for shows vs attractions.

The main differences are, when displaying for attractions:

The full fat calendar does not include a "Show times" tab.
When a date is selected, the full fat calendar does not display a timeslot container.

Show

Attrraction

For attractions, times are instead selected on a following/separate step.

Harry Potter Support

The Full Fat calendar provides out-of-the-box support for Harry Potter and its "two part" performances. For example, there is additional help text provided and tweaked text descriptions. You can see more here.

Currency Support

Products will use the local currency based on the event location (eg. London West End GBP, New York Broadway USD).

Configuring labels

The Full Fat calendar widget comes with some default text labels, but these can be customised to your liking. To do so, use the "data-labels-config" attribute, like so:


<div

    data-view-name="full-fat-calendar"
    data-channel-id="encoretickets"
    data-product-type="show"
    data-product-id="1587"
    data-api-path="https://inventory-service.tixuk.io"
    data-action-url="https://google.com"
    data-user-locale="en-GB"
    data-labels-config='{
        "timeValidationMessage": { "en-GB": "[T] Please select a time of performance" },
        "calendarValidationMessage": { "en-GB": "[T] Please select a performance date" },
        "fullFat": {
           "calendarTicketSearchButton": { "en-GB": "[T] Pick your seats" }
         },
