How do I publish a dotCal to a website

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

It’s done by way of the dotCal “Embedded Calendar Widget,” which can be used on any typical website, wiki, or blog.

But first of all you need edit access to your website. If you don’t have edit access you can’t put the widget on your website, and can’t publish your new dotCal calendar on your website.

So if you have edit access to your site, decide which page or button you want the calendar to be on. Then get ready to add the widget on your site.

Here’s how you do it: 

  1) Create a new  calendar or dotCal mashup you want to publish. dotCal calendars can be a mixture or calendars, or a single calendar managed by you.

  2) Display that calendar in your dotCal workspace by clicking on its tab.

  3) On the left, in the “dotCal Connect”  section, select “Publish." 

  4) In the window that opens, select the theme you and colors you want.

  5) Copy Widget text into the HTML of your website. Make any sizing, or View changes you might need in the Embed code so it fits and the colors are compatible.
