Displaying upcoming events is an important part of any website, even more so for schools. To make it easy, customers using PlusPortals will already be set up with the integrated and automatic calendar feed to the website from your Portal. This makes it possible for parents, students, and staff to see important events in up to four places!
There are a couple of options for displaying a calendar on your website:
- PlusPortals to RediSite Calendar Integration (Calendar+ Widget)- By default, if your school is also using Rediker's PlusPortals then your RediSite will already be connected to your PlusPortals calendar feed displaying public events automatically. This setup and integration is typically done for you as part of the website build. It uses a Calendar+ Widget connected to the PlusPortals Calendar Collection.
- Google Calendar Widget- Optionally, a Google Calendar widget can be placed anywhere on the website. Once you place the widget you sign into a Google account and choose the calendar to display (1 calendar per widget).
- Embed Code (HTML Widget)- Schools can also choose to use an HTML widget to paste in the supplied embed code from their choice of calendar platform providers (Google, Outlook, Canva, etc).
