Event Calendar

The Event calendar on OrcasHub is place where anyone can post any event they have and want to invite the community to. It aims to reduce the confusion caused by the proliferation of siloed individual calendars (see List of Calendars) by creating a single calendar that can import events from other calendars, and also be embedded on other websites.

You can embed the OrcasHub event calendar using an iframe on your website. This allows you to put a small portion of the calendar directly into your page.

First, open the event calendar view by tags and using the list of tags on the right, select the tags that you want shown on your calendar. If no tags are selected then all events will be shown.

Next, add one of the following to the URL bar: &embed=simple or &embed=bare. The full URL should look similar to this: https://orcashub.org/events/tag?ids=1,2&embed=simple.

• simple - Remove the OrcasHub header and footer, leaving behind the gray background with a white inset calendar.
• bare - Remove all styling, leaving behind just the plain white background list of events.

Choose the option that best fits with the styling of your website.

You can optionally add image thumbnails to the list of events too by adding &images=true at the end of the URL.

TODO: Add examples and notes about resizing the iframe.
