Add to Calendar Button

The University events calendar has subscribe buttons so users may add an event to their calendar of choice. This feature makes it easier to avoid calendar conflicts and allows visitors to set up their own reminders. You may create your own Add to Calendar button on a page of your site highlighting the event so visitors can add the event to their own calendars, without going the university events calendar site.

Type: Core Bundle

Note: you must enable the Express Localist bundle to use these features.

Demo: Events Block
