Embed an Upcoming List

Use this shortcode but replace the ‘cal’ number with that of your own calendar. You can the maximum amount of events that appear by changing the number next to ‘limit‘.

[uc_cal view="upcoming" cal="42" limit="10"]

Embed a Month View

Copy and paste the code below into your page and replace the cal number “42” for your calendar’s number. As an example, take a look at the current month of Aurora Training Calendar.

[uc_cal view="month" cal="42" limit="10"]

Multiple Calendars

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

[uc_cal view="month" cal="141, 42" limit="10"]

Embed a Semester List

To create a list which displays all events for all days of a semester use the shortcode below. To select a different semester you can replace "Spring 2019" with Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall followed by a space and than the year you wish to show.

[uc_cal view="upcoming" cal="42" limit="10" semester="Spring 2019"]

Limitations

You can only have one calendar shortcode on a page. Any additional shortcodes you add will be ignored by the system.

Link to the Current Month of Your Calendar

To link to the current month, week or day of your calendar, you should follow the format below.

http://events.uconn.edu/current/[month|week|day]/[Calendar Number].

For example, http://events.uconn.edu/current/month/42 takes you to the current month view of the UConn Master Calendar.
