After you have created an event and have set each of your events to be linked to an ECAL calendar, you can display these events on an external website using different widgets.
More information on these displays can be found on the ECAL event website.
There are three different types of widgets that you can insert into your website:
1. PAGE VIEW - The ‘Page‘ mode provides a detailed, interactive and attractive display of your events, perfect for your ‘What’s On?’ or ‘Events Calendar’ page. To view a live version of this type of view, click here.
2. CAROUSEL VIEW - The ‘Carousel‘ mode provides a high impact, high attention display of your events, perfect for your homepage, beneath your site masthead. To view a live version of this type of view, click here.
3. COLUMN VIEW - The ‘Column‘ mode provide a neat, highly flexible, high impact display of your events in a vertical column, perfect for a side margin across the inside pages of your website. To view a live version of this type of view, click here.
