Overview
Events often need to appear in more places than the site where you manage them. Partner sites, community pages and mobile apps all may want your schedule. This add-on lets your EventON calendar reach them by using a lightweight JavaScript embed in place of an iFrame. Visitors can browse interactive calendars or single events, and when they click an event they are sent to your main site for the full details.
The add-on also suits developers who want control over what gets shared. You can create as many uniquely configured external calendars as you need, filtered by categories, tags, date ranges or layout. Clean, well-structured JSON feeds let apps and other platforms read your event data directly. Pluggable filters and documentation help when an integration needs custom behavior.
Features
- External calendar embedding: Place your full EventON calendar on any outside website with a simple JavaScript snippet. The embed is interactive and responsive, and it does not rely on iFrames.
- Single event embeds: Show one specific event on a partner site or promotional page with a lightweight embed, so a particular happening can appear exactly where you want it.
- Filtering by category and tag: Limit an embedded calendar to the events that fit its audience by filtering on categories, tags or custom parameters.
- Unlimited external calendars: Create as many external calendars as you need, each with its own layout and filters, for different audiences, partners or purposes.
- JSON data feeds: Provide your event data in clean JSON format so mobile apps, third-party platforms or custom software can read it directly.
- Curated JSON output: Apply filters to the JSON feed so it includes only relevant event types or categories, and consumers receive just the data they need.
- Links back to your site: Embedded events send visitors to your primary website for full information, which keeps branding consistent and brings engaged traffic to your own pages.
- Pluggable filters for developers: Developers can use pluggable filters and the available documentation to adjust functionality to match the needs of a specific integration.
