Microformats in Tendenci® enable you to instantly use and share online data in a variety of ways.
Microformatting is a relatively new buzzword in the Internet world. However, it will play an enormous part in the way we use online interfaces and exchange data in the very near future.
Technically speaking, Microformats are very simple pieces of XHTML code that help make online content uniform and transferrable. With this uniformity, you can do more with the content you add online - more easily than you ever thought possible!
Microformats in Tendenci
Tendenci currently uses microformats in our calendar events. Using Microformats, you are able to share your calendar events and important event contacts with other Web sites and users instantly using hCal formatting.
Why is this a good thing?
It makes your life easier and keeps all of your information consistent across all Web sites and users.
Check out OnlyinHouston's consolidated event calendar. Their calendar draws from a number of different calendars (like Schipul and HAF) so that members can view even more events across the city of Houston - all thanks to microformatting!
How could YOUR association benefit from standardized formatting?
Tendenci microformats also encourage users to promote your events on other Web sites and Blogs. Copy and paste super-simple hCal code to let users on other sites know all about your event specifics. Click here to learn how.
