What it does
Many organizers keep their events in one EventON calendar but want them to appear on partner sites, sister sites or inside an app. Copying events by hand or relying on iFrames gets messy fast. This add-on gives you a lightweight JavaScript embed that places an interactive EventON calendar, or a single event, on any external website. When visitors click an event, they are sent back to your main site for the full details, so your event pages stay the central source of information.
You can build as many external calendars as you need, each with its own setup. Filter them by categories, tags, date ranges or custom parameters, and choose the layout that suits each audience or partner. For apps and custom software, the add-on outputs your events as structured JSON, and you can filter that feed so it only includes the event types or categories you want to share. Developers also get pluggable filters and documentation for adjusting how the integration behaves.
Best for
- Event organizers sharing calendars with partner websites
- Developers feeding event data into mobile apps
- Networks of community or business sites using EventON
