Dedicated channels
Aleeva can give your events their own channels. There are two separate ideas here.
The event's own channel
By default the event message is posted in the channel you run the command from. You can instead give events their own channel: set a default event channel, or use a category so every new event gets its own channel. Related options include the channel-name style, creating a companion thread and pinning the event message.
Dedicated text and voice channels
On top of that, an event can get dedicated text and voice channels that exist just for that event. For each channel you can configure:
- Whether it is created at all.
- The category it is created under.
- Who can access it: subscribers only, everyone (free for all), or synced with the category.
- When it is created: when the event starts, right when the event is created, or a set number of minutes before the start.
- The channel name (see the placeholders below).
- Whether it is deleted when the event completes.
Where the option is enabled, a voice channel can also be removed automatically after the last member leaves.
You can also choose whether the dedicated channels are shown in the event message, whether Aleeva posts notifications into the dedicated text channel, and set all of this as a default for new events from the event settings.
Channel name
The channel name defaults to {title}. You can pick a quick preset ({title} or {title} {sub}), or choose your own name using these placeholders:
{status}: an emote showing the event status{date:...}: the event date, with a format pattern, for example{date:dd.MM.yyyy}{time:...}: the event time, with a format pattern, for example{time:HH:mm}{sub}: the number of subscribers{sub/max}: the number of subscribers and the maximum{leader:gw2_account}: the leader's Guild Wars 2 account name (name only){leader:nickname}: the leader's nickname{title}: the event title
Examples:
{title} {sub/max}
{status} {date:dd.MM} {time:HH:mm}The date and time use your server's timezone. To change it, run , choose Settings, and open Timezone under the dedicated channel settings. The Settings entry is only shown to members with the Aleeva Events Admin permission.
Aleeva adjusts the finished name so it is a valid channel name. The event's own channel supports the same placeholders.
