Event Management Admin for Louie Fontaine
A new admin interface lets the artist manage tour dates directly from the website — no file editing required.
Managing tour dates just got a lot easier. The Louie Fontaine website now includes a protected admin area where events can be created, edited, and deleted through a simple web interface. No more manually editing data files or redeploying the site to update the tour schedule.
The admin lives at /admin/events and is protected by login credentials. Once signed in, the artist sees a full list of all events — past and upcoming — with the ability to add new shows, update details like venue or ticket links, or remove cancelled dates. Changes appear on the public tour page immediately.
The event form supports all the fields needed for a complete tour listing: date, time, venue, city, country, region, timezone, ticket links, lineup, and more. It even includes BandsInTown-specific fields like "Do Not Announce" and ticket type categories, laying the groundwork for upcoming export functionality.
This was built with simplicity in mind — no database server, no complex infrastructure. The existing JSON data file serves as the store, keeping the system lightweight and easy to maintain while still providing a proper management interface.
