To create a new RSS Feed, first navigate to https://events.uconn.edu/ and select . The widget can accept “Group” and “Category” events, both of which are outlined below.

Groups

Begin by selecting the calendar(s) you’d like to add in the “Calendar” dropdown of the Find Events section on the right hand side (you can select multiple).

...

If using numerical instead of text identifiers, each calendar ID needs to have “&calendar[]=” before itto have “&calendar[]=” before it. So the complete RSS feed for calendar IDs of 28 and 68 would be https://events.uconn.edu/api/rss/?&calendar[]=28&calendar[]=68

Categories

Alternatively, RSS feeds can accept “Categories,” or event types. If you only wish to view one event type, you can click the Subscribe button and copy the link for the chosen category. For instance, the “Art & Performance” category can be select by clicking the “RSS” link as shown below.

...

From here, just copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into the widget.

Alternatively, you may select multiple categories via the “Event Type” dropdown, as shown below.

...

With the calendar(s) selected, note the content in the address bar and copy all the text after “categories/”. For instance, with the URL of https://events.uconn.edu/day/categories/Art%20%26%20Performance%7CAwards%2C%20Receptions%20%26%20Celebrations , copy just the “Art%20%26%20Performance%7CAwards%2C%20Receptions%20%26%20Celebrations” part.

Back in the widget RSS Feed, append this copied text to https://events.uconn.edu/api/rss/?&cateogry= in the input field. So the complete RSS feed

...

above would be https://events.uconn.edu/api/rss/?&

...

category=Art%20%26%20Performance%7CAwards%2C%20Receptions%20%26%20Celebrations

Events

This is the number of upcoming events that will appear.

...

The examples below use calendar IDs, which were given to legacy calendars created before 8/23/23. Calendar text names can be used instead as long as they are not combined with calendar ID numbers. Please see the above table to convert between calendar names and IDs. Shortcodes DO NOT accept categories/event types – please only use either calendar names or IDs.

Embedding an Upcoming List

...

Copy and paste the code below into your page and replace the cal number “42” with your calendar’s number or name (ex: Graduate%20School). This view will create an interactive view so users can scroll through events by month.

...

You can show events from multiple calendars by entering a comma-separated list of calendars’ names or numbers or names.

Code Block
[uc_cal view="month" cal="141, 42"]
