Hi there,
Hoping that you can answer the following questions I have before purchasing:
Project:
I’m working with a community organization to develop a community calendar. What they would like is for users to be able to access the calendar from a website, and then input their own events data without the need for an administrator to monitor everything. From what I’ve been able to read, your community calendar could do this.Specific Questions:
– What the client would like is for this calendar to be spread across multiple websites (Given that their website is really just a hub for a bunch of community partners). What I’d need to know is, Is the Community Events calendar embeddable? And if embeddable, will users be able to add events from those other websites?
– We’d love to be able to somehow integrate new calendar listings with MailChimp or some other RSS component. Does that functionality exist?Hi TW! Thanks for getting in touch. I’m stoked you’re checking out the Community Events plugin and hope it’s a good fit for your project. 🙂
Is the Community Events calendar embeddable? And if embeddable, will users be able to add events from those other websites?
The Community Events calendar feeds to the same main calendar as The Events Calendar plugin, so it’s all the same calendar. That said, the calendar itself is not embeddable, though I have seen an interesting customization where a customer was able to display content across multiple sites through the included event widgets as long as they were on the same WordPress multisite network. That might be one option worth checking out.
We’d love to be able to somehow integrate new calendar listings with MailChimp or some other RSS component. Does that functionality exist?
Yes, the calendar does have RSS baked right in. MailChimp has a RSS-to-Email feature that I think would work quite well with this.
Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help. 🙂
Cheers!
Geoff
