Status of Widget for External URL

[Corey]

Hi Modern Tribe,

Several years ago, someone asked if the Event Calendar could be posted on an external site to show upcoming events: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/widget-for-external-url/

I was wondering if this feature was available yet, or if there was HTML I could drop on my external site to show the event calendar? It would be great to give Event Organizers the ability to place a calendar on their personal webpages that shows their upcoming events.

Site I am using – http://www.bigmaven.com

Thanks!
Corey

Hi Corey,

Thanks for getting in touch! Interesting question here…

There’s still no definitive solution for this, as Barry said (in the thread you mention) this is possible with some custom code. The approach could be to embed an iframe containing all upcoming events. But again, some custom code would be necessary to get this working.

What we are currently working on is an oembed format for events. Basically will allow you to create a new WordPress post (or page) and just paste the link to the external event, and once published it will show all event information nicely formatted.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico

You are welcome Corey!

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but if you need help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one and we will be happy to assist you.

Best,
Nico
