Class schedule include

What is a schedule include? A special line of code that displays current class schedule data from the Registrar's office within your own department's web site. View an example here.

Why is it used? Instead of linking to the full class schedule page, you can use a schedule include to incorporate the class schedule data for your department within your web site, making it easier for visitors to your web site to find your department's class listings. Another plus is the navigation, colors and layout of your department web site stays intact.

How can I add a schedule include? Create a new web page to hold the schedule include data. (Or, add the schedule include on an existing page.) Using a code-capable editor such as Dreamweaver or a text editor, add the following code on a new line. Enter the code exactly as written here. Change amst to the official Registrar's code for your department.

<!--#include virtual="/webdata/schedule/amst.html" -->

How do I see the results? Save the web page, and then view the page in your web browser. If you see an error message, contact Web Services for help.

I use Contribute. Can I add a schedule include? You can't add the code in Contribute, but we can take care of this step for you. Please contact Web Services for help.
