Adding an EventKeeper feed to a Wordpress site is pretty easy. First we make an EKFeed in EK and then we add that feed into the Wordpress site using a widget. This feed is made using Javascript and a text widget.
Note: You can also use a basic RSS feed from EK and add it to your site using a Wordpress Widget. To do that, simply ask us to make an RSS feed and use one of the many rss widgets in Wordpress. If you want more editing control, use the method below.
To create this type of EKFeed:
- Login to Eventkeeper
- Click Admin Page at the top of the Eventkeeper Calendar of Events page
- In the section called "Multipublishing" you will see the EKFEED
- Click on Create to create a new feed
From there, you will be provided with the following steps:
- Select the Data Retrieval and Data Display parameters (data display defaults to FORMATTED table, choose Array variable)
- Click on the Create Sample Display button
- Check the results in the Sample Display (REPEAT AS NECESSARY)
- Click on the Create Snippet and Javascript file button
- Copy the snippet into the source of your web page.
