Calendar Event URL

Options

Is there an easy way, that I'm missing, to get the URL for a specific calendar event? The way I've been doing it is by changing the calendar id number at the end of the URL. It's a fine way to get it, but would much prefer a URL that shows when the event is published, just like you see in pagebuilder and action alerts. This works for me but is challenging to train our chapter and field staff people on who are already overwhelmed with how to set up the event itself.

  • Hi Kelly,

    We host a lot of community events at WHYY, so I posed this same question to our account manager. The GetActive Events module would automatically generate a URL when you published an event RSVP page, but right now she told me the only way in Convio to get a URL for an Event RSVP page is to replace the calendar ID number at the end of the URL just like you are currently doing. I agree that this makes the process more difficult. If they can do it in PageBuilder, I don't see why they cannot include this same function for Events. I plan to submit this request for Convio to include as a feature enhancement in a future release. -- Mary Eileen

    Good points made here. This is a good feature request that our PM team is now aware of. One other option that may work, and this depends on how you want to use the friendly link, is to use the URL Shortcut feature under the Library menu to create friendly URLs to events.
