URL Parameters

To populate the URL field of the Elm Calendar Feed content type, begin with the URL: https://calendar.umaryland.edu/embed/?eventlist=true

&category=Insert category name here
&subcategory=Insert category name here

A visual representation of the steps described above

Please encode all special characters in category names with the ASCII character set. For example, President's should be changed to President%27s.

A single feed can include multiple categories and subcategories! For example: https://calendar.umaryland.edu/embed/&subcategory=School+of+NursingResearch&subcategory=University+AdministrationICTR

&max=Insert number

Sets a maximum on the number of events that will display in the feed. For example: https://calendar.umaryland.edu/embed/?eventlist=true&max=3 will only output the next three upcoming events.

This can be used in combination with other parameters, such as the category and subcategory parameters. For example: https://calendar.umaryland.edu/embed/?eventlist=true&upcoming=true&max=4&category=University+Administration
