Tons of changes - some general, some aimed at better supporting event directories

Button fields

New Button custom field type - add a link to a listing and it renders as a proper button, not a raw URL
Set your own label, pick primary or secondary styling, and choose whether it opens in a new tab
Buttons stretch full width and centre themselves, with the field name hidden so they look like buttons rather than data rows
Secondary buttons now highlight on hover, on both light and dark card themes

Dates can now include a time

Turn on Include time for any date field. Existing date fields are unaffected - it’s off unless you enable it
Once times are on, you pick the event’s timezone (it suggests your own to start with, and the picker is searchable)
The time you enter is the time everyone sees. A 7pm event in Vancouver shows as 7pm to a visitor in Tokyo - no conversion, no confusion
The timezone is shown in brackets next to the time so visitors know which clock it refers to

Heads up: for a short period, times were being dropped when a listing was re-saved. If you edited a listing with a time on it recently, it’s worth checking the time is still there.

Event card

Cards without an image now use a patterned block instead, so rows in a grid stay lined up
The date chip sits in the top-right corner
Choose which of your fields feed the card: location, start date, end date, and up to two buttons
One button spans the full card; two split it evenly
A warning appears if you pick the event card without having a location or date field set up
Status pills now include Happening now, and countdowns read naturally - “In 3 days” before, “2 hours left” during

On the listing page

When your project uses the event card, the listing’s own page picks up two of its cues:

The day/month chip now sits in the corner of the main image, same as on the card
The status pill (“Upcoming”, “Happening today”, “Happening now”, “Ended”) sits above the listing title, with the same countdown beside it
Both appear only when the event card is selected, since that’s where the date fields are chosen. Any other card type leaves the page untouched

How dates and times are laid out

Single day: Wed, 7 Aug 2026 with 10:00 – 20:00 (BST) on the line below
Multi-day with times: 14–17 Oct 2026 with Starts 10:00 · Ends 18:00 (BST) - labelled so it can’t be mistaken for daily opening hours
Multi-day without times: Thu, 6 Aug – Sun, 9 Aug 2026
Date ranges follow the visitor’s own regional format, so US visitors see US ordering and everyone else sees theirs

Main + Sidebar on listing pages

The Main + Sidebar layout block can now be used on the listing detail page, not just the homepage
Its two columns offer listing blocks: gallery, body, custom fields, reviews, videos, details table, maps, forms and more
The narrow column offers the same blocks as the real listing sidebar - tags, custom fields, CTA, last updated, review summary, promo card -plus both map blocks
Blocks that have a compact sidebar style automatically use it when placed in the narrow column

Listing title and introduction are now blocks

The listing title and introduction used to be fixed at the top of every listing page. They’re now blocks you can move, remove, or place inside a Main + Sidebar layout
Listing Title renders the page heading, at Extra large (the current look) or Large. The claim badge still sits beside it, and if your project uses the event card the status pill and countdown sit above it
Listing Introduction renders the listing’s intro text, with a choice of Large (the current look) or Standard size
Your existing listing pages are unchanged - both blocks have been added to the top of every project’s listing page automatically, in the order they used to appear
New projects get them added the same way
The claim CTA bar now sits at the very top of the listing page, above the title
Restricted listings still show their title, so a members-only page isn’t a heading-less notice

Worth knowing: if you delete the Listing Title block, listing pages will have no heading at all - including for search engines. Keep one on the page unless you’re deliberately replacing it.

New block: Meta Row

A single row of small, muted facts with icons, designed to sit just below the listing title
Pick up to 4 fields; each renders as an icon plus a short value, nothing else
Address, date, phone, link and review fields get a fitting icon automatically
Other field types (text, number, dropdown, tickbox) can be used too, but only once you’ve given the field its own icon - without one there’d be nothing to show
Your own icon always wins over the automatic one, and is recoloured to match the row so it doesn’t stand out against the built-in icons
Values stay short: addresses collapse to “City, Country”, reviews to “4.5 (12)”. Empty fields are skipped
Addresses are tidied to title case on the way out, so “LONDON, UK” and “london, uk” both read “London, UK” - country and state codes keep their capitals
Phone and link values are clickable
Date ranges: pick two date fields and tick “Pair two dates as a range” to show them as one entry with a single date-range icon. The end date stops showing separately
Times always sit as their own entry with a clock icon, so dates and times scan separately: “📅 23–25 Jul 2026” then “🕐 09:30–17:00 (BST)”. Applies to single dates as well as pairs
Dates collapse as far as they can - “23–25 Jul 2026” within a month, “23 Jul 2026” on a single day
Ranges follow the visitor’s regional date format, same as the event card
Divider lines above and below draws a hairline rule top and bottom, with a little space inside them
Space above this block - leave it on Normal, or pick Tight to tuck the row up close to the block above. Tight is what you want when the row sits directly under the listing title

New block: Action Panel

A single card of calls to action for the listing being viewed - the sort of thing that usually sits at the top of a listing sidebar. Available in the listing sidebar, and in the narrow column of a Main + Sidebar block on the listing page.

The lead line (optional)

A short line of text above the buttons - “From £12 · under-12s free”, “Members only”, whatever suits. Up to 160 characters
It’s plain text, the same on every listing, at the same size as the rest of the panel

Button rows

Add up to 5 rows, each holding 1, 2 or 3 buttons. A row’s buttons split it evenly - one fills the width, two go half and half, three go thirds
The editor shows each row as the row of buttons it will become. Press + inside a row to add a button, and click any button to open its settings underneath. A row you leave empty simply doesn’t render
Drag rows by the handle to reorder them
Each button is Primary (filled, taller) or Secondary (outlined), so you can have one hero action with smaller ones beneath
Every button can have its own label. Leave it blank and a sensible default fills in — “Call”, “Directions”, “Share”, “Add”, “Enquire” — and for a field button, the field’s own button label, or failing that its name. The editor spells out which one you’ll get

Button types

Link or Button field on the listing - takes its destination from a Link or Button custom field, so each listing points somewhere different
Fixed link - the same URL on every listing. It has to be a full address starting http:// or https://; a bare domain like example.com would be read as a page on your own site, so it’s rejected on save
Call - takes a Phone field and dials it on a phone
Directions - takes an Address field and opens Google Maps directions. Uses the stored map pin when the address has one, so it’s accurate even for vague addresses
Open a form - opens one of your forms in a popup, same as the enquiry modal
Share - uses the phone’s own share sheet where available, and copies the link to the clipboard everywhere else
Add to calendar - takes a start date field and, optionally, an end date field, then offers Google Calendar, Outlook, or a download for Apple Calendar and everything else. The menu closes when you click away from it or press Escape

How the calendar button reads your dates

The start date decides the shape. A start date with no time makes an all-day event; a start date with a time makes a timed one, in the field’s own timezone
No end date: an all-day event covers the single day, a timed one runs an hour
End date with a time: used exactly as entered
End date with no time on a timed event: the event runs through to the end of that day, not to midnight at the beginning of it — so a festival from 10:00 on the 6th to the 9th fills the 9th too
An end date earlier than the start is ignored rather than producing a backwards event

Warnings while you build

Each button type tells you when the project can’t support it yet — no link or button fields, no phone fields, no address fields, no date fields, no active forms
Saving is blocked until every button has its field, form, date or link set
If a save is rejected, any button at fault gets a red outline in the row, so you can see which one needs finishing without opening each in turn. Hovering it shows the reason, and opening it shows the error against the field itself. Nothing is flagged before you save

Panel background

Fill the panel with a colour turns on a colour picker (or type a hex code) to give the panel its own background. Off by default, so the panel takes the page background as before
Works with or without the border. With a colour but no border, the panel still gets its rounded corners and padding

Icons

Call, Directions, Open a form, Share and Add to calendar get a fitting icon automatically — Add to calendar uses a calendar with a plus on it, and defaults to the label “Add” so it fits a half-width or third-width slot
Link and Fixed link buttons can have an icon uploaded — SVG recommended — which is recoloured to match the button

Listings with nothing to link to

The listing page is one template for every listing, so some listings won’t have the field a button needs. Those buttons still appear, greyed out and unclickable, with a tooltip explaining why — “This listing hasn’t added a phone number yet” and so on. The panel keeps the same shape across every listing rather than reflowing.

A Fixed link or Open a form button with nothing behind it is a setup mistake rather than a gap in the listing, so those hide instead. The panel itself doesn’t render if there’s nothing at all to show.

Listing body text size

The listing body block now has two settings: Text size and Text size on large screens, each Standard or Large
The defaults — Standard on small screens, Large on big ones — are exactly how listing pages have always read, so nothing changes unless you change it
The spacing around headings follows the size you pick, so a Standard large-screen setting reads the same as it does on a phone rather than keeping the roomier gaps

Nested blocks are properly validated

Blocks placed inside a Main + Sidebar layout or a Section were never checked when you saved — only the container itself was. A half-finished block inside one could be saved and would quietly do nothing on the site
They’re now validated like any other block, and the error appears on the block that caused it, inside the column it sits in
A handful of older headings inside sections had no heading level saved. They’ve been set to H2 — the level they were already displaying — so those pages save cleanly

Dates everywhere else

Dates now read as 8 Aug 2026 instead of 8/2/2026
Times sit alongside in lighter text, with the timezone faded in brackets
No automatic clock icon - if you want an icon, add it to the field label yourself
Fixed dates showing as raw values (2026-08-08T10:00) in the detail page field grid
