INTRODUCTION

Add to Calendar Module integrates 'Add to Calendar' button provided by addtocalendar.com which supports iCalender, Google Calendar, Outlook, Outlook Online and Yahoo Calendar. It's basically a thirdparty field formatter setting available for datetime field formatters.

MODULE DETAILS

Add to Calendar Module makes use of ADDTOCALENDAR.COM's service which provides free button for event page on website and email. Button supports all modern browsers and platforms: iOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows, Blackberry. Provides handful of configuration for a really flexible experience.
