Embedding Calendar Feeds

Event feeds from the Elm Calendar can be embedded on your web pages. Feeds come in two basic flavors - event list and calendar box.

To embed a feed:

To add a feed to one of your pages, add an instance of the Elm Calendar Feed content type to the section in T4. Remember that you must first enable the content type for your section, if it has not already been enabled. There are two versions of the Elm Calendar Feed content type:

Each school's developers are welcome to make their own duplicates of the Elm Calendar Feed content types, which they can customize to suit their own page layouts.

Components of Common Calendar Feed

JQuery

To ensure the calendar is formatted properly, JQuery must be enabled on your page.

CSS

CSS styles applied to your page can affect the embedded calendars. This means that a developer can customize the calendar that will appear on your page by adding custom CSS styles, but it also means that your page’s CSS might interfere with the calendar and cause it to display incorrectly. We reccomend that you inform CommunicationsWeb@umaryland.edu the first time you embed a common calendar feed, so that we may review it for display errors and modify our Common Calendar stylesheet if necessary.

Please do not alter the Common Calendar stylesheet in the umaryland.edu folder for any reason.
