Geoscience Calendar

Embedding The Geosciences Calendar into your website.

The Geosciences Calendar is implemented as a modular design to allow geoscience organizations to embed the Geosciences Calendar into their own website if they wish. There are two basic means to incorporate the calendar - either the entire calendar or a subsection of entries selected by Subject areas.

Dynamically Linking The Geosciences Calendar
To embed the calendar function into your web site, you need to use one of two methods:

Frames
Server-side Scripting Languages (PHP, ASP, etc.)

This document will focus on the issue of utilizing a server-side scripting language, and in particular PHP. The basic calendar function is contained within the file: http://calendar.agiweb.org/showcal.html. Embedding this page into your web site would use a URL aware include() command in PHP. To incorporate the entire file in your own HTML document, you would write your code as:

<HMTL>
... PUT YOUR HTML CODE HERE ...
<? include("http://www.agiweb.org/calendar/showcal.html"); ?>
... PUT THE REST OF YOUR HTML HERE ...
</HTML>

The URL for calling showcal.html has 2 possible syntaxes:

Total Calendar:
include("http://www.agiweb.org/calendar/showcal.html");
New Entries in the last month:
include("http://www.agiweb.org/calendar/showcal.html?view=new");
