Syndication Example - Joke of the day - free service |
|
Thyme has the ability to syndicate it's events through RSS feeds. In this example we'll assume that we are a website that provides a "Joke of the Day" service. We'd also like to include a button that will allow users to add our Joke of the Day feed to their Yahoo! homepage.
To start, we'll create a calendar called "Joke of the Day." By default, this calendar is only accessable to us. We want it to be readable by anonymous users, so add the Public group to the members list of the calendar.
We now must copy and paste the code that creates the Add to My Yahoo! button. Select the Remote Access tab and click on the Yahoo! button for daily syndiction. This will bring up a new window containing the HTML source to create a button for this calendar. Select and copy the HTML source.
Now we'll create a Joke of the Day event for each day in the upcoming week. This is exemplified in the screen shot below:
Finally, we can add the button to our site by pasting the HTML code into our home page.
Though this example provides a service, we could syndicate any calendar event. Our daily journal, rants and raves, site of the day, etc..
