Calendar feeds present the viewer with a list of upcoming events. These are frequently used on a sitewide or departmental homepage.
An unlimited number of calendar feeds can be used in a site. Each feed is automatically generated from the calendar module by specifying the number of events to display and which subcalendar(s) to read from. Each event consists of a date, title, description, day-of-week, starting time, and optional link for more information. A link is also provided to click through to the site calendar. Events are automatically added/removed based on the current date.
In addition to being able to embed event feeds into any page content area yourself, you can also have us embed an event feed into your site's template for a small one-time fee.
