What is/how do I create a static calendar

A static calendar is one in which the events are displayed, but they do not lead to more detailed information. This can be useful in creating more of a reference calendar rather than one full of events.

To create a static calendar

Step 1: Create your events but only fill out:

  • Event Title
  • Start Date (if multi-day, End Date)
  • Put a Hash (#) in the Link/URL field (disables linking)

Enter Title, Start Date, and a Hash as the URL/Link to create an unlinkable event. End date is optional but necessary on multi-day events.

Step 2: Change the display view to be Full Calendar with Events Inside.

A static calendar displays the events, but does not link to further details.

Step 1: Click on any event to view its details.

Step 2: Delete the view/# part of the URL.

Step 3: Type feed at the end of the URL.

Step 4: Delete any page names in the URL.

The end result should be
