Using Localist Widgets

A widget enables you to create events once in Localist and publish everywhere with Widgets. Administrators and users can embed and display events or series of events on pages separate from the main calendar, such as the organization’s website homepage, partner organizations websites or other pages. 

Localist allows you to create Widgets with custom code that changes the overall look, feel, and behavior of Localist’s standard Widgets. You can use this tool to build Widgets that match the aesthetic of your homepage, a sub-page, or a separate website.

A full list of the options available for widgets can be found by either navigating to the widget builder, or a full list with explanations can be found on the concept3D widget help site.

Embedding a Calendar Widget

To embed a calendar widget, click generate embed code after you have selected your options in the widget builder. Then you need to paste that code onto your website. In order to implement the localist embed code snippet correctly in Omni CMS, you must character encode all the ampersands, and set the defer declaration to defer="true" to successfully publish.
