You can find the settings of a live blog in two places:
In the dashboard, to the right of the title of your live blog via the gear icon
In the opened live blog, on the left-hand side in the menu via the gear icon
You can configure the following settings individually for each live blog:
Title:
Edit the title of your live blog. This title is only displayed within your Tickaroo organization and is not shown on your website.
Start:
Edit the start date of your live blog. This does not affect the publication of the live blog and is only for informational purposes for users within your organization.
End:
Set an end date for your live blog. Once the live blog ends, all content stream syndications stop after 2 hours. The live blog will remain visible to your readers.
Live blog category:
Live blog categories are used for internal organization only and are not visible to readers.
Here you can find out how to create live blog categories.
Language:
The language setting in the live blog settings affects both the live blog editor and the live blog on your website.
Info: Some languages may not be fully translated. Please contact our support if you need a translation or want to add a new language.
Info: In the dashboard of your personal Tickaroo account, you can generally choose between English and German. Everything within the Tickaroo organization will then be displayed to you in the selected language. The language setting does not change for other users in the same organization.
Reactions:
Choose one of four predefined emoji sets for your live blog.
Live blog teaser title (not enabled by default):
If you have booked the live blog teaser widget, you can define the title for your live blog teaser here. This title will be displayed on your website.
Live blog URL (not enabled by default):
Enter the URL of the page where the live blog is embedded so the teaser widget can link to it. Otherwise, the system will automatically try to determine the best possible URL.
Editorial publishing:
New posts are saved as unpublished by default. This mode is useful if new entries need to be reviewed and published manually before going live.
Enable syndication mode:
Enable syndication mode if you want to use this live blog as a data source for automatic syndication. When syndication mode is active, you can selectively exclude individual posts from syndication.
Marketplace:
Select “Sell in Marketplace” if you want to offer this live blog in the Tickaroo Marketplace. To sell live blogs in the Marketplace, please contact your Tickaroo contact person or support@tickaroo.com.
Tags (not enabled by default):
If you want to use tags for your live blog posts or for content stream tag syndication, this option must be enabled here or when creating a new live blog.
Here you can create new tags or edit existing ones.
Archive liveblog:
Archive this live blog once it has ended and no further updates will follow. It will remain visible to your readers. You can undo the archiving at any time.
Delete liveblog:
This will delete the live blog and make it inaccessible to your readers on all channels. You can restore deleted live blogs by scrolling down in Dashboard > Liveblogs and opening the trash bin.
