Overview
- This feature aligns with the Public Affairs branding guidelines.
- The Campus Calendar was updated on April 4, 2023. Please contact the Office of Communications & Public Affairs at calendar@berkeley.edu to ask for assistance on using the new calendar.
The Campus Calendar widget enables you to embed a short list of events from the Campus Calendar on your pages.
The display of the widget is generated by the Campus Calendar and is not configurable from within Open Berkeley.
Example of a Campus Calendar widget:
Getting a Campus Calendar Embed Link
There are three different types of embed links you can use for the Campus Calendar widget.
Widget Embed Code - Preferred
For the most flexible and powerful widgets, you will need a Campus Calendar account with sufficient permissions to configure a widget and generate your embed code.
Widget embed code URLs look like this:
https://events.berkeley.edu/live/widget/35
For help getting a Campus Calendar account and creating widgets, contact calendar@berkeley.edu.
Simple URL
If you do not have a Campus Calendar account with sufficient permissions to generate widgets, you can use a simple URL to embed a widget that displays the next three events from one specific calendar.
Simple URLs look like this:
https://events.berkeley.edu/featured
In this URL, "featured" is the name of the calendar being embedded. Other examples include "uhs" for University Health Services, and "bampfa" for the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.
Legacy URL
Widgets created for the previous version of the Campus Calendar will continue to work; you do not need to update your existing widgets. If you are creating new widgets, we recommend you use the Widget Embed Code option instead.
Legacy URLs look like this:
https://events.berkeley.edu/index.php/html/sn/featured/type/future
Caches
Clearing your site caches will not refresh the contents of the widget; caching of the widget content is controlled by the Campus Calendar. It may take time for changes made to Campus Calendar data to be displayed in widgets on your site.
How to Add a "Campus Calendar" Widget
To add a Campus Calendar widget, click the plus sign in the region where you'd like to add the calendar, then select "Berkeley Components":
Then, click "Add" for "Campus Calendar events list":
From here, configure the Campus Calendar widget. Add a title if desired, copy and paste your Calendar URL (see above "Getting a Campus Calendar embed link" section), and adjust the height as needed (depending on how many items you are choosing to display). Click "Add" when you're finished making the changes to the individual widget, then click "Save" at the bottom of the page to complete the process.
