Resolution

  1. While editing an editable region, click Insert Component in the WYSIWYG editor toolbar.

  3. Click Insert.
  4. Under Edit Component, enter information in the form fields.
    • Calendar ID - The unique ID associated with the Calendar Add-On from which you are wanting to show events. To find the ID associated with a Calendar Add-On, you can do so by logging into Add-Ons and selecting Calendars.
    • Events - The number of calendar events to display in the feed.
    • Style - The look and feel of the feed. Some feed styles are too large for side columns, remember to select a style that fits your page layout from the styles. For a more in-depth description of the various feed style, and some examples, visit our Calendar Feed Component page.
    • Category ID (Optional) - Specify a Category ID to only display events from a category. To find the ID associated with a calendar category, you can do so by logging into Add-Ons, selecting Calendars, and then clicking on the Manage Categories Icon next to the appropriate Calendar Add-On listed.
    • Open Links in New Tab - Open calendar feed event links in a new tab or window.
  5. When done, click Save.
