Listing Civi Events on External Joomla Site
July 12, 2011, 12:05:43 pm
I have a need to display CiviEvent Listing on another site, just not link from the other site back to the CiviEvent Listing.

So if I am at www.coreone.org, click on events menu item, it will display just the CiviEvents Listing from events.coreone.org in that page, just not re-directing.

Any thoughts on how to do this?

I tried Joomla external link, but that just takes me back to the site where the event listing is. I just want to be able to display the event listing like in an iframe on an external site.

Thanks!

Dallas

Hi,

What I do (might be an overkill) is to develop a module on the main site that fetches the list of events (using the rest api), template it and display it on your site.

Hi X,

Any chance you can give me an example I can pass on to my programmer?

Sounds like what I need, just not sure of the steps...

Best,

Dallas

I got what I needed it seems.

events.coreone.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/ical&reset=1&page=1&html=1&snippet=2

Gives me just the HTML Listing of events that I can place in an iFrame or RockBox (Rocket Theme).

Thanks!

Dallas

Hi,

I use the Jevents module which can automatically get event items from the ical url feed from civi, You could set this up on two different sites fine.

Install Jevents on site A and create a calendar using the url from site Bs civicrm Ical feed, then setup a cron on site A to refresh every so often.

If you don't want a calendar but a listing you could use the jevents module for upcoming events summary.

Sorry if I've misunderstood your requirement but this may be less coding for you.

Cheers,

Dave

Thnks Dave,

We looked at that, but doesn't quite meet the need.

Will post back details after we get it implemented.

Best,

Dallas

Ok - thought I'd offer the idea - would be interested to see what you end up doing so please do post back details and a URL!

Cheers,

Dave

Will definitely post the url soon.

This is turning out better than we expected using the &snippet=.

My programmer was able to insert that variable into the main template and pull the event listings from the Event site and Display on the Main Site in a scrollable window.

We just have some css cleanup to do to make sure all fonts and styles match and we will have something to demo.

Client is VERY happy with the result.
