Publishing your event calendar

You can setup as many events as you want in Wild Apricot Events database. This database is managed by administrators. Your website visitors can see these events on your website and register online. You can create multiple event webpages using different event lists and views.

Event publishing overview

Adding event calendar page

To make your events visible to public and/or members and accessible for registration, you need to add a special event calendar page (if you don't have one already). Go to Website tab an click on Add page:

Event calendar page settings

Each event calendar page can be customized (via 'Edit settings' button) in the following ways:

• Introduction message in the Description field. This message will be shown above the list of events
• Default view of the events has the following options:
  • List view - events will be listed in the chronological order
  • Calendar view - events will be in the Week / Month / Year calendar format
• Start day of week for calendar view - allows you to specify the start day: Sunday / Monday
• You can select whether this page should display all upcoming events or only events with specific tags (categories) - See Event categories (tags, labels)
• You can select whether to show past events

Viewing event calendar page

Here is how it would look to public visitors in List view:

User can always switch between the calendar and list view:

Event calendar RSS feed

Each event calendar page has an RSS feed (orange button next to the title of the page) so that people can subscribe to your calendar with RSS readers (e.g. Google reader)

• Note: If your calendar is hidden within a Restricted Access Section, RSS feed will not be accessible to any external feed reader software (as they can not supply the appropriate username and password to access the RSS feed). Such a calendar page can only be read within your site, as a regular web page.
