Do you have community members that would like to enter their event in one place, and have it distributed to multiple calendars in the area?
Syndicating content to other third-party calendars is important to facilitating our Network Members’ ability to develop or enhance local/regional partnerships. This module provides the ability to create that, by using your site as a single content entry portal, creating a centralized database that is capable of distributing event calendar content in for the form of API, JSON, XML, RSS, ICS/ICAL and our Artsopolis WordPress Event Calendar plugin. This improves efficiency for event organizers and your community building efforts as an organization. An unlimited number of custom feeds or calendar “widgets” are available for distribution by site administrators to community partners.
Additionally, for close knit community partners looking to share an Artsopolis database, with the use of the Syndication Module, we do offer the service of building ‘Sister-sites’. For example, a local Arts Council, Tourism Bureau, and Chamber of Commerce may wish to centralize their databases to reduce duplicate efforts, and share database upkeep efforts by each contributing with what they each specialize in. Due to the various filtering abilities within the module which allows for specific selected content to be feed to each site, and our ability to skin Sister-sites to match each organization’s individual branding, communities can take the idea of collaboration and cooperation to a whole new level, and centralize all of their community’s information.
