Syndication Example - Daily Horoscope - as a paid subscription |
|
Thyme has the ability to syndicate it's events through RSS feeds. In this example we'll assume that we are an astrologist who wants to provide daily horoscopes to other web sites or content providers in exchange for a monthly fee.
First, we'll create a calendar called Astrology, then add events for the 1st week. We'll create one event per astrological sign. This is exemplified in the screen shot below:
Now we can create horoscopes as many weeks in advance as we wish. Next would come the setup of a payment system. This system is beyond the scope of this tutorial.
By default, only we have access to the Astrology calendar. As people subscribe to our service, we may give them user accounts, then add them to the Astrology calendar's member list.
They now have RSS access to the calendar and can add our horoscopes to their site just as they would any other RSS feed. Should they cancel, simply delete their account.
