IFrame Integration
This is the easiest method of integrating Connect Daily. An IFRAME is an inline frame. It acts like a portal on your page that displays information from another URL.
An IFRAME is an HTML In-Line Frame. It can be used to create a portal within a web page. The content of the inline frame or portal is supplied by a URL to another web page. It is not necessary for the URL to be on the same server. In other words, the IFRAME content can come from an entirely different page or site.
For the technically minded, the IFRAME acts like a scrollable DIV where you can set a source URL for the content.
The HTML code for an IFRAME would look something like this:
<iframe frameborder="no" scrolling="no" id="calendarframe"
src="http://calendar.sample.com/View.html" width="690" height="1024>
</iframe>
In Connect Daily, you can include any of the available calendar views (Month, Day, Week, Year, Planner, List) via IFRAME. Additionally, Connect Daily provides IFrame widgets for inclusion into your web site. Available widgets include:
- Mini-Calendar with event days in bold. Clicking on a day opens day or list view for that date.
- Simple List of next N upcoming events. Clicking on the events pops up a window with the event details.
- Detailed List of next N day's upcoming events. Event title, additional info URL, and long description are displayed.
The help topics below cover more information on including an entire calendar or using the IFrame widgets.
